Juegan a ser mayor

All right, last post for the day, I promise (of course, that's easy to promise when it's 11:54 PM).

I am so fascinated with Nash. They aren't the world's best looking boy band, and they certainly aren't the world's best singing boy band...but something about them makes me keep watching. Take, for example, one of their shorter performances from Mision Eurovision. As I mentioned, 5 song-and-performer combinations made it to the superfinal, but before that each of the songs was performed by each of the five artists, albeit only about a minute and a half of each song. Watch what Nash does what with this performance of "Una lágrima" ("A tear").



Did you see that? They went...arty and political! Granted, not a very sophisticated message, but still. They've got outfits on reminiscent of military garb, the blindfolds they're wearing read "fear," "hunger," "war," and "poverty," and when they tear open their jackets at the end, their shirts read "peace." I mean...a political boy band? An arty performance? It all could come off very wrong, but it somehow works. I was a little worried during the spinning part, but when they hit the chorus and break the circle, tugging on the ties binding them together, swaying back and forth, and upping the strength in their delivery--well, I love it. And when they're singing to the audience, during the part about begging for water? They look like they mean it. The "yo"'s (or "go"'s) chanted at the end and the rapid-paced singing they're backing up? I like those, too.

They're incredibly rough around the edges in pretty much every way possible, but, though I don't know why, I am...as I said, "fascinated."

(If you want to see how everyone else performed the song, you can do so here.)

Plus, Mikel apparently spent some time studying and living in the UK! Who knew?
