Tomorrow, Thursday 12th January, the 3 finalists of #Eurocasting, the open competition to become a part of Objetivo Eurovisión, the Spanish national Final for the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest, will perform at the final concert.

LeKlein with Ouch!!
Fruela with Live It Up
Javian with No Somos Héroes (We're not heroes)

These 3 will present their songs live in a special program tomorrow night - after the performances, a 15-minute voting period will open in which the public (only) will vote for their favorite candidate.

The concert, which will feature two tribute performances to the Eurovision Song Contest, will also include the official announcement of the artists names chosen internally by RTVE to compete in Objetivo Eurovisión in February. The chosen one tomorrow will join that list of internally selected names.  

#Eurocasting was born with the idea of ​​offering to artists and authors not linked to the major record companies in Spain, the possibility of taking part in the Eurovision process.

Here I thought that tomorrow we would find out Spain's song, but we actually have to wait until February ... wonder who the other artist will be for Objetivo Eurovision ...

My favorite for tomorrow is Javian's No Somos Heroes - but I have a feeling that LeKlein is going to win tomorrow night!!!

[Jeff Abbott]

The first song has already been chosen and, as always, it is ...

ALBANIA



I heard it a couple of times and still can't remember the melody. Overall, it's nice as long as it is kept in Albanian.

Georgia and Belarus are choosing their song tonight in their National Final!!!

It should be an interesting Friday night with music!

[Jeff Abbott]

I'll be glad as long as these two songs from Belarus and Georgia win their national selections.

[ErwinG]

I don't know which songs you are referring to since I am at work ... but based on the results, how glad are you?

[celinesounds]

Lucie Jones has won Eurovision: You Decide and will represent the United Kingdom in Kyiv with the song Never Give Up On You. The song was co-written by Emmelie de Forest, who won the Eurovision Song Contest for Denmark in 2013 with the song Only Teardrops.

It was not my favorite to win, but I read that she was the best performance last night ...

[Henri]

We chose our song tonight.

FINLAND



I'm pretty happy with this song.

I actually like the song chosen by Belarus, when it comes to Georgia, well I like it but it's a bit too shouty for me. So far so good, as they say.

I liked Olivia's song much more. But to give Lucie her due, she's got a fantastic voice.

I'm pretty happy with this song.

It's hauntingly beautiful, exquisite, charming, stunning and any other lovely adjective I could find.
The juries will eat it up, but the public, it might be a totally different story.

Still, your country made such a great decision.

I didn't have time to check all the songs taking part in Sanremo Festival. Still, I wouldn't mind a solid, good quality song from Italia.
