Descubre el amor

Spain wraps up Misión Eurovision and chooses their Eurovision representative, and it's a boy band! Nash (who I wrote about over on You Call That Life) will be singing "I Love You Mi Vida" in Helsinki. You can watch a video of their performance here.

They need to work on their voices--this song needs to be sung with more force--but it's still pretty fun. Assuming they can up their game with the singing, this could be one of my favorites. It's very singalongable and very danceable. I'm not going to say I love it yet, but I have a feeling that's exactly what I'll be saying in the near future.

Edit: in case anyone wants it, here's an mp3 of Nash singing "I Love You Mi Vida" live, but it's only a low quality video rip. As I said, they need to work on the singing some (as well as the performance), so I'm not sure if they'll be any interest in this, but I thought I'd post it anyhow. It's probably worth remembering that they only had a short period of time to learn the song, and they had to learn five songs (the way Spain did its national finals was allowing people to vote out of a bunch of songs and artists to choose the top 5 songs and top 5 artists. Tonight, each artist performed part of each of the songs, meaning that there were 25 possible combinations that people could choose to vote for. Then, once the top 5 song-with-artist combinations were chosen, each of them was performed in full, and Spain voted again to choose the winner)...I think I'm going to really end up liking it, though! It's very in line with my tastes. What that means for Spain's Eurovision results, I have no idea, and I know a lot of people are saying Mirela's "La Reina de la Noche" or some other song would have been better, but I haven't heard those yet.

Nash - I Love You Mi Vida (Live) (LQ Video Rip)

This of course means we need to face the all important decision of which member of Nash is the best looking (hey, I don't make the rules; that's just what you do with boy bands), though I suspect for me it's a moot point. Your options:

Basty Nash...

...Javi Nash...

...Ony Nash...

...or Mikel Nash.

(Look, I know they're no V, but just be grateful there's no Aaron Carter look-a-like.)

There was no Internet stream, so I haven't seen any of the other performances and have no idea how justified their win was...hopefully it'll all show up on YouTube soon!

i give you a Drew Seeley style hmmm on the song, but need to listen to it a little bit more. Whereas i had crushes on 4 of V and 3 of Eton Road currently, i am less enamoured of Nash ;) Basty looks like J from 5ive, Javi looks like the guy who would use lines like "does heaven know they are missing an angel, etc etc", Ony has slightly dated hair, but overall is ok, and saving the best til last, Mikel looks incredibly adorable and has great hair!!

I think the song may have worked better with a strong solo female vocal, as it was on the demo. I haven't gotten to catch up on everything yet, but from the little bit I've seen, it seems like there were some better choices for singers out there...some with strong voices and wind machines! Still, I do like it, though it doesn't feel like a potential winner to me. I'm still hoping against hope that Mans wins MF and thens wins the whole thing!

I like the sound of the song, love to hear an HQ version. I like 2 of them and the last one is just dreamy!
