OT 2017 TOP 3 GALA 11

Here's gala 10 :)

THIS GALA. NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. It's been 3 years, and I still remember it as the best gala in OT history. If anyone asked me to choose one gala they should watch of all OT, I'd tell them gala 11 of OT 2017 in a heartbeat, it was too much and I had so much fun. AND THE SONGS!!! Even the ones that I didn't like as much were great, and it has genuinely some of the best performances in the whole edition packed into a single gala. It's the fucking best.

Anyways, let's get into the honorable mentions:

Pais Tropical - Groupal: THE BEST GROUPAL OF THE EDITION. It's so freaking fun and serotonin inducing, the absolute best!!! Also, this is the only groupal song in all of OT history that isn't in Spanish nor English (if we don't count Waka Waka), which I think is pretty cool!

Sign of the Times - Alfred: This is hands down Alfred's best performance, and even though the song is already a freaking bop, he makes it his and owns it! Also I believe this is the gala when he had the anxiety attack? In that case he did so good despite his mental state!!

Cuando Duermes - Alfred & Miriam: This duet is so underapreciated and it's sooo good it should be criminal. Their voices sound great together and I just feel it's a very nice performance :)

Love on the Brain - Amaia: Amaia 😳😳😳😳😳 I remember when she told Aitana "i'm gonna touch my pussy"... and then she did it. Just, amazing, and the voice is gorgeous as always.

3. WHAT ABOUT US - MIRIAM

Here's the original song, by P!nk :): https://youtu.be/ClU3fctbGls

My sister took a picture of me during this song in the live concert where you can see i'm crying my eyes out but with the biggest smile in my face. I think that pretty much sums up my feelings towards this performance. The thing is, this was the ending of her "redemption arc". Throughout the contest, Miriam was painted as the villain for being "bossy" and "too serious", she got lots of hate and on top of that she didn't had the best luck with the songs she had to sing either. Apparently more or less when I started watching the contest was the start of her redeeming, and after this song everyone was on board not only with her, but with her being a finalist, because she deserved it.

2. PROCURO OLVIDARTE - AITANA

Here's the original song, by Manuel Alejandro :)

It's been 3 years and I haven't been able to get over this performance. The fact that all the music was live, her outfit, her emotion, her cracking at the end and crying... It was by far Aitana's best performance, and I think it was also a changing point for her internally. I remember she was going through a lot that week and she was able to canalize everything in this song. Anyways, this is one of the best performances of the edition, and one that I believe is underapreciated.

1. ELOISE - AGONEY

Here's the original song, by Tino Casal :)

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF THE EDITION AND NOW YOU KNOW WHY. Like, it's just TOO MUCH. OF EVERYTHING. AND AGONEY'S VOCALS!!!! This also was my sister's my cousin's and my song, we would sing it from the top of our lungs everytime we heard it and of course we knew the dance moves (and we did them during the concer tsjdjsdj). The best, no one did it like him.
