So what do we think? How do we think Rigoberta did? Is this the winner of Benidorm Fest 2022? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below :-)
For people out of Spain who doesn't understand the song or the performance, an explanation here... it was 100% art. I'm gonna explain you why. This song is totally feminist and try to defend mothers, women and nippl*s. The principal sentence in the song is "I don't know why our bo*bs are so scary" in reference why woman can't post nip*le on social media, or being nak*d at eurovision stage when men can do. With that clear, I'm gonna explain you the first part... when she starts singing with the glasses and the dress with 2 men in front of her totally uncovered, it means when not long time ago (even now in some countries) woman didn't have rights, opinions, or they must be covered. Then her alter ego comes to her and says "escuchame" (listen to me). She gets out the dress and the glasses and smile because she starts to be free. When she touches her t*t and she raises her arm, she says Delacroix, (search on Google who was of Delacroix and see the image. There is a paint with a woman with the arm raised up and the bo*b out ). When the dancers are dancing around her is a reference from movies with woman God, because she is becoming in a women God or women icon and they are dancing and praying to her. And the final moment with the big nip*le is a reference from Woody Allen movie (search on Google Woody Allen big b*ob and you will see) . So, the performance is PURE ART, with multiples international and historic references. Maybe you don't know that references but anyway the performance caused any effect on you. That's art, you love it or you hate it but it cause any feeling
There's something about the energy in this performance that makes me smile the whole time. I genuinely just had a good time watching it. There's so much heart in this, it just stands out for me. I really, really like it.
@@ShanesEurovisionReview It doesn't matter much to me. It seems like they put more effort into conveying a strong meaning when most people can't understand the language, so in my opinion these songs are often more powerful. The staging and emotion in her face and voice conveyed most of the meaning and hit me in the feels. Reading another comment here explaining more in depth was the tipping point for my crying though hahaha
@@Mozzarella-and-Tomato thanks ! Means a lot that the feeling gets across even if you don’t understand the lyrics. It’s very powerful from a woman perspective
"Let's stop the city, taking out a breast in the pure Delacroix style" "I don't know why our boobs are so scary, without them there would be no humanity or beauty". This song is a hymn. I love It!💜
It’s not about her mum, it’s about motherhood, feminity. Mama in spanish means both mum and breast. The song says “I don’t know why people is so scared of our tits. Without them there wouldn’t be humanity nor beauty”
Without understanding the message it's just weird. And europeans will not understand it because it's in Spanish! You Spanish make that mistake almost every year going for the personality or "message" (like you did with Alfred and Amaia) and then you're surprised you're always in bottom 5...
@@PatrykEurovision Maybe we don't care much about winning... maybe we give priority to other things, like just having fun and bringing something we truly feel represented with... After all, we know that in Eurovision we are cursed. no matter if the performance is good or bad, in Spanish or in English... Spain has been constantly punished in the latest decades
I think the wedding dress is representing traditions and all of the old ideas which we have to take out of our heads, and when she finally takes the dress off is when the party starts representing the freedom and new approaches to our bodies and sexuality
As spanish Girl, this song is about mothers with Deep meaning. She tells the story about the powerful love mother, all things they have to stand. But it's a way to declarate feminist situation without their effort we'd never have had the present woman situation. Also, it's a sexual meaning about freedom, diversity, free body. The final part says "we don't know why they are scared of our boobs, if they werent, they would not exist beauty and humanity " . Our boobs is a woman Signal and we want to show them for our mother, for women, for humanity
The message doesn't matter because it's in Spanish. Europe will not understand it, and will find it weird. If you choose her, you'll be in bottom 5...again

Hi! I just want to post what the staging wants to represent: - Rigoberta wearing a veil means that women are tied to men before and after marriage, implying that their bodies can't be publicly shown. The sunglasses reflect the idea that women aren't free. - When she takes off the veil and the sunglasses with the help of other females, she can finally see and she "listens to" ("escúchame" as the lyrics say) other women to free herself. - The moment when the four women unite depicts the feminist struggle that women are undergoing nowadays. - Men and women wearing a bra is a strong message that Rigoberta wants to transmit: if we can't show our breasts, men shouldn't as well. Definitely a strong message that goes way beyond maternity. I hope it shed some light on your thoughts! Thanks for your reviews! :)
Going into tonights final I think it's my favourite....based on the Semi's...things could change...I am torn between Chanel and Rigoberta! Chanel will definitely do well at Eurovision and Rigoberta is a risk....but a risk that might pay off :-)
Goosebumps here too!!! The song is amazing, but your reaction is incredible, how you transmit the enthusiasm for the music, the lyrics... Thank you for sharing it❤️ Long live Rigoberta! Rigo Eurovision!
It's not the symbol of a baby. She gets layers off as she starts believing in her message and gaining security as a woman. She starts fully covered and kind of silenced, and at end she's just almost clotheless and 100% empowered.
I think after all these years we don't really care about the place we get in Eurovision and which song other countries are going to like the most. We just want something with which we feel represented, something original, even if people don't understand the staging, or they don't like it, it makes you feel something, it doesn't leave you indifferent. Also when 'ay mama' sounds people here go crazy singing it, it’s like an anthem, it has the emotion and we should take the risk and let her represent us.
Yeah i HAD HEARD when ay mama comes on the bars and clubs people go crazy! If Spain want to send it then it should be sent! I AM NOT FROM spAIN and I do not speak Spanish and I love it so I am sure others will as well :-)
Distinta es... Pero es un festival de la canción no un mitin político. Seguramente vaya y veremos si nos va bien o no. Dos tetas tiran más que dos carretas...
One thing for sure is that Spain would not go unnoticed as always. Rigoberta has the message, the rhythm, the dance and the power. Just need to improve the shots and stage moves. RIGOBERTA A EUROVISIÓN
Actually the name of the song in Spotify is Ay mama while the name on the cover of the song is Ay mamá. Mamá means mother, but mama means breast. She's playing with us haha. I think it's all about the free the nipple movement. The ending of the song sounds anthemic, she's my favourite.
Haha, you had the same reaction I had listening to this performance, it is so good. This song has so many layers with the lyrics, the melody, the change in tempo, etc. Fantastic. I think any of the top 4, Tanxu, Rayden, Rigo & black horse Chanel could win on Saturday. I’d like to know, which one you think would be the best choice for Eurovision. Happy for you so many people are watching your videos.
Awwwww thank you Vincent! Yeah I have been a bit lucky with these videos recently certainly! Always nice to have a wider audience I guess....more people to speak to and more perspectives to engage with :-) How lucky are Spain right? So many good options :-)
Fresh, clear message, impressive presentation. Those who accompany Rogoberta are her cousins, the one with the beard is Rogoberta's partner. Everything stays at home, simple, nothing super star bellonce...natural.....Everything stays in the family...I love it!!! I love Rigoberta!
Chanel no puede luchar contra Rigoberta. Ay, mamá! es la ganadora y sin participar en Eurovisión. Es la canción que todo el mundo canta y baila. Lolololololoolo mamaaaaaaaá 🎵🎶
Mama in spanish also means breast, so you can see the double meaning (mother and breast). So this is about female empowerment and normalize women body and nipples 😆 their energy is funny and great. Ty for the reaction ☺
I’m from Spain and I would like to see Rigoberta representing us in May!🇪🇸 Tanxugueiras and Chanel are really good artists but I think that Rigoberta’s message is necessary in Europe.🤱🏻🙋🏻♀️ Thank you for your video!
At the beginning Rigoberta means of the song with her glasses and veil on, is that until now women have been silenced in many aspects of her life, until the feminist movement has arrived (a girl who approaches her) to make her open your eyes and see that women will never be silent again. A feminist cry with the idea that without the power to give life that women have, this world would not exist and that they have really been silenced and mistreated during the history of humanity. When the cast pulls up their shirts, the men wear tops too, which means the world is usually ashamed of women's boobs but not men's, so if women's boobs can't show off neither do men. Feminist shout!
Lo mejor y lo que las mujeres queréis es enseñar las tetas....? Mi abuela y mi madre dicen que la que va enseñando las tetas es una guarra. Si solo las queréis enseñar para darle de mamar a vuestro hijo hacerlo en vuestra casa, a la mayoría de la sociedad le encantan las tetas, estamos de acuerdo. Pero Eurovisión es un festival de la canción, no un mitin político.
This is so good. It should have been sent as the Spanish entry. They would have won finally again. It is catchy, uplifting and also humour. Best song of this year.
Happy to see your reaction :) The song talks about how important are the breast (and moms) for the humanity because feed us when we are born, but how much censoreship recieves that part of the women's body usually in the media, the society, etc.. "Mama" in spanish means "mom" but "breast" as well, for that the "breast globus" and all the references to the breast in the song
Thank you Paris Tay Lord. I love the message of the song and I think the small touches with the staging are VERY clever! I am obsessed with this entry now haha
It was the first time I listened to that song, with no knowledge about the lyrics. And I was like : WTF?! Second time I read the lyrics snd listened to the studio version and I really liked it! Then I watched again the performance and it was fun to watch. BUT if she wins, probably most of the people watching the final in May will also react just like me the first time. So although the song is really good it's better for Spain to choose sth different.
Haha loving the narrative of your journey with this song esc Keenyah! Wellllll it would seem most people think like you so let's see what Saturday brings....but I am starting to become a bit obsessed with this song now after the performance .-)
@@esckeenyah Ok that is important to acknowledge then actually..as you....like most viewers of the final will not have heard the song before....so you reaction is VERY interesting! Did you find the staging therefore gimmicky as you did not understand what it was about?
@@ShanesEurovisionReview a little bit. But hearing "mama" all the time I understood that the song is probably about motherhood. But yeah.. The staging was overwheling.
Mama in Spanish means Mother (Mom) but also a woman's chest. It is a feminist anthem that talks about how all the strong mothers who carry out their homes, but also about the invisibility of women and the fear that we women show ourselves (and what identifies us most is our breasts / tits). She says "I don't know why our boobs are so scary, Without them there would be no humanity and no beauty, and you know it".
Hopefully with this song Spain has France in its pocket, thanks to the nice reference to a french Symbol "La Liberté guidant le peuple" painted by Delacroix.
@@ShanesEurovisionReview It's difficult to pick it up in the moment... I think they should consider to show a photo of the painting during the moment that she say it touching her "mama" and raise her fist.
I enjoyed last night performances, but some of them were vocally not so good (probably nerves) and some did not have good staging - so the best one of the night were Rigoberta and Rayden. Rigoberta came prepared and ready to tell us a story - not to forget and you can sing along the main part :)
I think there was allot of nerves certainly...I mean 4th spot for me was wide open so that does create nerves certainly! Actually I think Rayden had the strongest vocals on the night!
Nooooo haha I am evidently a lone voice in my love for this haha! Maybe someone put something in my coffee this morning haha! I did not have any issues with the performance haha! Always value your opinion though :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview Her voice sounds a tiny bit shaky at the beginning IMHO. It's very clear when she goes "mamamamama" for the first time. After those, it gets better to the point where the 3rd and 4th sets of "mamamama" as they walk around sounds exactly as in the studio version. My guess is she was nervous, that would explain why the first part was shaky but after a minute or so she pretty much nailed it. About the performance there are things that I don't like or don't get. The shades, for example. I don't know what they mean and they kinda don't match the outfit. The dance seems a bit chaotic and out of sync sometimes and I fear for some visual elements would be interpreted more like a joke than anything else, like the giant globe-tit or men wearing sport bras in solidarity. I think the fact her husband and cousing are on stage is cute, and also that she's indeed the pregnant woman in the image. She made the performance very personal, but that is something that most people in the audience won't get.
hey Shane, at 5:00 it's not representing having a baby. the song is about "mothers" but also about "breasts" (cause in spanish is the same word, only the accent is different) and at that right moment she sings "I dont know why society is so scared about breasts" and they "remove" their shirts like showing their breasts (I think in her ideal performance, she would have prefered to show her/their breasts, she did it in a concert btw, you should look for it, it's pretty fun). Also, she said that the meaning of the song is not that complex ^^
Exactly, actually her original idea was to get top less (she even did it in a alive performance before the Benidorm fest). Rigoberta is genuine, I love her personality! Some gossip here: the back singer is her cousin, and the bearded dancer is her husband
How? This song is all about the message and europeans will not understand it. if you don't speak spanish it's just weird, and her voice isn't the best either
I don’t want to be a party pooper but I hate this 😂 I feel like I’m living on a different planet to everyone else who’s enjoying this, what’s going on?! 😂
Rigoberta came and CONQUERED, some of the twinks in the comments are crying about vocals and cheap performance??? Hello the high note? The symbolisms? Rigo is not Chanel. She won't give you a show. She will give you ART. It's up to everyone to understand it or not.
You are lucky you get to pick definitely! In the UK I have not been able to pick for a while haha! If Spain wants to send it...and I think they will.....then that is Spains choice :-)
I like the song, and it makes me happy. however I dont' wnat this one in Eurovision. One of the things that I like of this performance is that they are a family having fun... dancers looks like those drunk friends that have prepare a dance for your wedding. Tanxugueiras is my favourite, RAyden because they are loutish i beleive that they are going be great in Torino's arena and finally Chanel... nothing new but what she does, is done brilliantly, perfect...
I recommend you to translate the lyrics and you will understand why there is a breast on the back. It is a feminist song. The word mama has several meanings depending how you pronounce it : it means mother if you put the accent in the last a and breast if you put it in the first a.
Hey Maria....yes I knew what the song was about...was just a bit of a shock to see it when I did haha....less of a shock last night as I was prepared .-)
Her message is about motherhood and the power of feminity. She sadly wonders why people are so scared to see women' tits and why women are supposed to cover their breast underneath their clothes. It's an hymn for life and freedom. I hope they show any English message during the performance so every people in Europe will understand what she is trying to say.
I do not think this will work in Europe, because the knowledge of spanish language is probably making it more difficult. The message is lost. But I think it will win. The spanish usually have a bad taste when you ask the public. Quite the same as in germany etc
Sticking a chest out in true Delacroix style / I don't know why our boobs are so scary Without them there would be no humanity and no beauty and you know it well.
Its been so disappointing for the spanish people that Chanel won and its been so contriversial because Chanel was close friend of one of the prof judges. Chanel' s song its again the same as fuego or my number one (both winners) but that one was fresh, funny, message....my fav for so far...but, this is Spain.
Intentar convencer a los extranjeros del tengo que a tongo de televisión española Intentando convencer a este chico que es la mejor opción intentando convencer traduciendo la letra de que es un himno nada europa ve a flipar con la mierda de puesta en escena Otro año más perdido Y las tanxugueiras Qué son las únicas que tienen una canción épica impotente y buenas voces y que tienen tres meses para mejorar muchísimo toda la realización vestuario etc esas las dejan fuera un jurado formado por cinco por formado por cinco personas
You who bled for so many months through your life Forgive me before beginning, I’m conceited And you know it well To you, who always has broth in the fridge You, that could end so many wars Listen to me Mum, mum, mum Let’s stop the city By taking our breast out like pure Delacroix style Mum, mum, mum For so many mum, mum, mum, mum …. All the mum, mum, mum, mum, mum …. You who tightly bound your body to my head Feeling like crying but with strength, listen to me Mum, mum, mum Let’s stop the city By taking our breast out like pure Delacroix style Mum, mum, mum For so many mum, mum, mum, mum …. All the mum, mum, mum, mum, mum …. mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum …. Long life to mums, mum, mum, mum…. I don’t know why our breasts are so scary Without them there wouldn’t be humanity nor beauty And you know it well Lo, lo, lo, lo …. And you know it well! Listen to me! MUM, MUM,. MUM!
This song is about free niple in media and feminism, it has a great message of women empowerment. It's just ridiculous how 2022 society stills considering women niples as offensive. Further more the song is tasteful and entertaining.
Es una pena que no comprobéis la letra, porque ese es solo un pequeño significado de la canción. Feminismo, sumisión, maternidad, y otros son los temas que magistralmente se representan en los pocos minutos que dura la canción, pero que si no se entiende la letra no se entienden.
It could be, but she said represent the old mom the pain that they suffer for their daugther and sons and all old mother that lost their family ( husbands, sons, daugther...) It represent the age in a mom. But good point of view!!
I find this performance totally crossed over to the other side of tasteful, even if I don’t dislike the song. If this goes to Eurovision like this, it won’t matter how deep the message is, it’s going to be remembered as “The song with the massive tit”, making it more gimmicky than clever or insightful. I’m reminded as well of Italy’s Francesco Gabbani’s Occidentali’s Karma in 2016. Even if it came 6th, it was one of the initial favourites but that dancer in the monkey costume was a complete put off and probably why it didn’t win.
I take your point Alberto of Francesco (2016). It's a tough one Alberto! Now i KNOW THE LYRICS and the message I love it but you have a point....if this wins....and nothing changes (which I kind of hope it doesn't in all honesty) there is huge potential this could alienate a wide audience....I have to go back to my first listen not knowing anything...and it was the catchy melody that got me intrigued....so not sure if that will be enough....but who knows...if she wins....there is allot more that can be done with the staging to communicate the message more without translating the song into english!
I like the song when I can just hear it - I just hated the staging. I am not sure if it was on the right side of tasteful. I just thought what the hell is going on - this is bizarre. I have not read the lyrics but from the staging it looks like it was all about breasts. I need to go and read the lyrics. Having said that I didn't tune out like a couple of them. I think the strongest of them was Ryden.
Yeah if you have no idea what the lyrics are about then you can get lost certainly. If she wins she will need to make some serious decisions. Does she go with what she has and go knowing picked her and she is representing Spain and performing this ART to the world knowing it will be mistranslated/lead to confusion but not care (which I kind of hope she does). Or does she play around with it and potentially ruin the authenticity of the whole package - which I personally think is Art.
@@ShanesEurovisionReview a more mature approach. Make more use of the universal concept of motherhood. A 3 min journey to what being a woman/mom means. Something like this!
Me decepcionaron bastante, necesitarian endiosar un poco mas la cancion y mejoraria la puesta en escena, al principio no se oye bien a Rigoberta, canta muy bajo
Ay Mama = Tu Cancion 2.0 Way to overhype a mediocre song. Why does it seem the majority of Spanish Eurofans have such bad taste? Hopefully the jury will save them and deliver a win to a song that is not Ay Mama, so that Spain doesn’t end up bottom 5 again.
It's not about having a baby, but the female body (especifically the mamas) being reported everywhere unless in the place that's well seen: porn/sexual industry.
So what do we think? How do we think Rigoberta did? Is this the winner of Benidorm Fest 2022? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below :-)

Hi! I just want to post what the staging wants to represent:
- Rigoberta wearing a veil means that women are tied to men before and after marriage, implying that their bodies can't be publicly shown. The sunglasses reflect the idea that women aren't free.
- When she takes off the veil and the sunglasses with the help of other females, she can finally see and she "listens to" ("escúchame" as the lyrics say) other women to free herself.
- The moment when the four women unite depicts the feminist struggle that women are undergoing nowadays.
- Men and women wearing a bra is a strong message that Rigoberta wants to transmit: if we can't show our breasts, men shouldn't as well.
Definitely a strong message that goes way beyond maternity. I hope it shed some light on your thoughts! Thanks for your reviews! :)

I think after all these years we don't really care about the place we get in Eurovision and which song other countries are going to like the most. We just want something with which we feel represented, something original, even if people don't understand the staging, or they don't like it, it makes you feel something, it doesn't leave you indifferent. Also when 'ay mama' sounds people here go crazy singing it, it’s like an anthem, it has the emotion and we should take the risk and let her represent us.
Yeah i HAD HEARD when ay mama comes on the bars and clubs people go crazy! If Spain want to send it then it should be sent! I AM NOT FROM spAIN and I do not speak Spanish and I love it so I am sure others will as well :-)
Song literally says "why are you all scared of our breasts? Without them, humanity and beauty wouldnt exist" ☺
AMAZING lyrics...I mean....sh's not wrong is she :-)
siiiii y ademas ganadora en Eurovisión, es distinta a lo usual , nada corriente . ROMPEDORA TOTAL ¡ME ENCANTAAA!
Distinta es... Pero es un festival de la canción no un mitin político. Seguramente vaya y veremos si nos va bien o no. Dos tetas tiran más que dos carretas...
PURE ART Mega Hevia :-)
Es totalmente difrentre va a ganar seria la bombaaa
Love it love it, it will win Eurovision! Soooo exciting, I feel instantly happy listening to it. Nice video mate!
Thank you for the kind words Lucia! I LOVE it! I watched it on repeat last night....every time it makes me smile :-)
One thing for sure is that Spain would not go unnoticed as always. Rigoberta has the message, the rhythm, the dance and the power. Just need to improve the shots and stage moves. RIGOBERTA A EUROVISIÓN
She has to improve the most her singing … he was too much out of tune. The rest was superb … but her voice … 😣
Agree 100% c! :-)
Ay mamá 💛
This LIVE performance was AWESOME!
Actually the name of the song in Spotify is Ay mama while the name on the cover of the song is Ay mamá. Mamá means mother, but mama means breast. She's playing with us haha. I think it's all about the free the nipple movement. The ending of the song sounds anthemic, she's my favourite.
I love Mama!!! this song is a great work of art from an amaizing artist singing to humanity
Agree 100%
Haha, you had the same reaction I had listening to this performance, it is so good. This song has so many layers with the lyrics, the melody, the change in tempo, etc. Fantastic. I think any of the top 4, Tanxu, Rayden, Rigo & black horse Chanel could win on Saturday. I’d like to know, which one you think would be the best choice for Eurovision. Happy for you so many people are watching your videos.
Awwwww thank you Vincent! Yeah I have been a bit lucky with these videos recently certainly! Always nice to have a wider audience I guess....more people to speak to and more perspectives to engage with :-)
How lucky are Spain right? So many good options :-)
the staging is soooo goooood!
Well I think so 1RKruemel! Not everyone agrees though haha :-(
Fresh, clear message, impressive presentation. Those who accompany Rogoberta are her cousins, the one with the beard is Rogoberta's partner. Everything stays at home, simple, nothing super star bellonce...natural.....Everything stays in the family...I love it!!! I love Rigoberta!
I loved everything about this song Pablo :-)
Mi favorita , me encantaaaaaa...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Mi favorita , me encantaaaaa!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Chanel no puede luchar contra Rigoberta. Ay, mamá! es la ganadora y sin participar en Eurovisión. Es la canción que todo el mundo canta y baila. Lolololololoolo mamaaaaaaaá 🎵🎶
Ok I do love Rigoberta but I do love Chanel as well :-)
Mama in spanish also means breast, so you can see the double meaning (mother and breast). So this is about female empowerment and normalize women body and nipples 😆 their energy is funny and great. Ty for the reaction ☺
Thanks for the kind words Nuria....AND the translation lesson.....so many layers to this song....LOVE IT :-)
Loved it!!! 😍😍😍😍
Me too Raulwithaccent :-)
Me too Raulwithaccent :-)
I’m from Spain and I would like to see Rigoberta representing us in May!🇪🇸
Tanxugueiras and Chanel are really good artists but I think that Rigoberta’s message is necessary in Europe.🤱🏻🙋🏻♀️
Thank you for your video!
You are welcome Marta :-)
At the beginning Rigoberta means of the song with her glasses and veil on, is that until now women have been silenced in many aspects of her life, until the feminist movement has arrived (a girl who approaches her) to make her open your eyes and see that women will never be silent again. A feminist cry with the idea that without the power to give life that women have, this world would not exist and that they have really been silenced and mistreated during the history of humanity. When the cast pulls up their shirts, the men wear tops too, which means the world is usually ashamed of women's boobs but not men's, so if women's boobs can't show off neither do men. Feminist shout!
Lo mejor y lo que las mujeres queréis es enseñar las tetas....? Mi abuela y mi madre dicen que la que va enseñando las tetas es una guarra. Si solo las queréis enseñar para darle de mamar a vuestro hijo hacerlo en vuestra casa, a la mayoría de la sociedad le encantan las tetas, estamos de acuerdo. Pero Eurovisión es un festival de la canción, no un mitin político.
Me encanta 😍
Me too :-)
Perfect!!!
Well I thought so gif haha!
It´s brilliant!!! Amazing balance between parody, fantasy and musicality.
OMG that is EXACTLY what I thought Juan....so was surprised initially when people cam out very critical of the performance. I LOVE it!
This is so good. It should have been sent as the Spanish entry. They would have won finally again. It is catchy, uplifting and also humour. Best song of this year.
Happy to see your reaction :) The song talks about how important are the breast (and moms) for the humanity because feed us when we are born, but how much censoreship recieves that part of the women's body usually in the media, the society, etc..
"Mama" in spanish means "mom" but "breast" as well, for that the "breast globus" and all the references to the breast in the song
Thank you Paris Tay Lord.
I love the message of the song and I think the small touches with the staging are VERY clever! I am obsessed with this entry now haha
The best Rigoberta!,
This song/performance is a masterpiece Marquina :-)
Of course she must be the winner
I would be VERY happy if she won Pazall4ever :-)
Just found this song today by watching Drag Race Espana … love the video for the song and also great meaning of the song 🎶
It was the first time I listened to that song, with no knowledge about the lyrics. And I was like : WTF?! Second time I read the lyrics snd listened to the studio version and I really liked it! Then I watched again the performance and it was fun to watch. BUT if she wins, probably most of the people watching the final in May will also react just like me the first time. So although the song is really good it's better for Spain to choose sth different.
Haha loving the narrative of your journey with this song esc Keenyah! Wellllll it would seem most people think like you so let's see what Saturday brings....but I am starting to become a bit obsessed with this song now after the performance .-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview the song itself is really good! But first time I was so preoccupied with the performance that I barely noticed the song 🙂
@@esckeenyah Ok that is important to acknowledge then actually..as you....like most viewers of the final will not have heard the song before....so you reaction is VERY interesting! Did you find the staging therefore gimmicky as you did not understand what it was about?
@@ShanesEurovisionReview a little bit. But hearing "mama" all the time I understood that the song is probably about motherhood. But yeah.. The staging was overwheling.
Mama in Spanish means Mother (Mom) but also a woman's chest.
It is a feminist anthem that talks about how all the strong mothers who carry
out their homes, but also about the invisibility of women and the fear that we
women show ourselves (and what identifies us most is our breasts / tits). She
says "I don't know why our boobs are so scary, Without them there would be
no humanity and no beauty, and you know it".
Love love love the message of this song Mireia :-)
thank u for your reaction
My absolute pleasure Miquel :-)
They should go to Eurovision
I would be very happy if Rigoberta got to Eurovision :-)
Hopefully with this song Spain has France in its pocket, thanks to the nice reference to a french Symbol "La Liberté guidant le peuple" painted by Delacroix.
Haha I did not even pick up that reference :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview It's difficult to pick it up in the moment... I think they should consider to show a photo of the painting during the moment that she say it touching her "mama" and raise her fist.
I enjoyed last night performances, but some of them were vocally not so good (probably nerves) and some did not have good staging - so the best one of the night were Rigoberta and Rayden. Rigoberta came prepared and ready to tell us a story - not to forget and you can sing along the main part :)
I think there was allot of nerves certainly...I mean 4th spot for me was wide open so that does create nerves certainly! Actually I think Rayden had the strongest vocals on the night!
Is just not nerves … just xeinn como as vocally good . Is hard to hear because is too much out of tune
This song should win tonight
I love it Ding Dong :-)
Wow well that was different but I strangely enough really liked it. I couldn’t keep my eyes off the performance. Your hair is growing ack quickly 🙂
Haha this is an old video Seany haha 😃
@@ShanesEurovisionReview haha oh silly me lol 😂
This song is awesome
I agree :-)
great song, should represent Spain at Eurovision;)
Right? I love it! I still keep listening to this!!!! I am addicted!
La actuación de ayer de bandini es como un film de expediente Warren ,estaban poseidas
Not sure what that means (after translating) but ok haha
Aparte de no ser cierto, eres un comentario buscando originalidad, que no tiene
What a pleasure to hear your beautiful English accent. Do you have time for a date? :)
Haha thank you for the lovely words John John! :-)
So amazing! So sad this didnt win
I am still a little sad to be honest! I love this song PDV :-)
Mamiiiiiiiiii🏆✨💫
Es diferente ahora una buena puesta en escena
Well I can't wait to see it tonight Elvira :-)
I was really looking forward to this performance as I love this song is and Rigoberta, but I think the staging was messy and the vocals were shaky :(
Nooooo haha I am evidently a lone voice in my love for this haha!
Maybe someone put something in my coffee this morning haha!
I did not have any issues with the performance haha!
Always value your opinion though :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview the voice was not good, specially in the 1st part. And the performance was messy and cheap
@@ShanesEurovisionReview Her voice sounds a tiny bit shaky at the beginning IMHO. It's very clear when she goes "mamamamama" for the first time. After those, it gets better to the point where the 3rd and 4th sets of "mamamama" as they walk around sounds exactly as in the studio version. My guess is she was nervous, that would explain why the first part was shaky but after a minute or so she pretty much nailed it. About the performance there are things that I don't like or don't get. The shades, for example. I don't know what they mean and they kinda don't match the outfit. The dance seems a bit chaotic and out of sync sometimes and I fear for some visual elements would be interpreted more like a joke than anything else, like the giant globe-tit or men wearing sport bras in solidarity. I think the fact her husband and cousing are on stage is cute, and also that she's indeed the pregnant woman in the image. She made the performance very personal, but that is something that most people in the audience won't get.
hey Shane, at 5:00 it's not representing having a baby. the song is about "mothers" but also about "breasts" (cause in spanish is the same word, only the accent is different) and at that right moment she sings "I dont know why society is so scared about breasts" and they "remove" their shirts like showing their breasts (I think in her ideal performance, she would have prefered to show her/their breasts, she did it in a concert btw, you should look for it, it's pretty fun).
Also, she said that the meaning of the song is not that complex ^^
Exactly, actually her original idea was to get top less (she even did it in a alive performance before the Benidorm fest). Rigoberta is genuine, I love her personality! Some gossip here: the back singer is her cousin, and the bearded dancer is her husband
Haha I now know this....feel stupid about the baby reference now haha! Thank you Jose :-)
LOVE this gossip haha
Germán. So many great ideas in this package! I love it!
You have to translate the letter, its better if you understand, you will understand all the actions, and the decoration
I have translated it! I do understand :-)
Mamá mamá mamá mamamamamamamamamamamá 🍼
Haha Right Tom???????? :-)
She will win Eurovision 2022
Well I think she could do well...but there seems allot of comments here suggesting otherwise .-(
@@ShanesEurovisionReview we’ll see it
How? This song is all about the message and europeans will not understand it. if you don't speak spanish it's just weird, and her voice isn't the best either
❤️
🤯😳
I don’t want to be a party pooper but I hate this 😂 I feel like I’m living on a different planet to everyone else who’s enjoying this, what’s going on?! 😂
Haha your killing me Laura haha! Evidently the song is a little marmite haha! I kind of am obsessed with it :-)
Cuando se quita el vestido no representa a un bebé, lo que representa es la belleza del cuerpo de la mujer desnudo sin artificios.
Cuando se pone a hablar en las high notes 😭😭😭
In case you'd like to sing along to this whacky song in English, please have a look at my latest video.😀
Rigoberta came and CONQUERED, some of the twinks in the comments are crying about vocals and cheap performance??? Hello the high note? The symbolisms? Rigo is not Chanel. She won't give you a show. She will give you ART. It's up to everyone to understand it or not.
she will also give you 0 points, good luck with that
We don't care, Europe will give us 0 points anyway... at least we would be sending something that WE really like with a good message.
You are lucky you get to pick definitely! In the UK I have not been able to pick for a while haha!
If Spain wants to send it...and I think they will.....then that is Spains choice :-)
Haha the "twinks" remark was little harsh Lana! I am with you though...I think this is PURE ART! I love it :-)
I like the song, and it makes me happy. however I dont' wnat this one in Eurovision. One of the things that I like of this performance is that they are a family having fun... dancers looks like those drunk friends that have prepare a dance for your wedding.
Tanxugueiras is my favourite, RAyden because they are loutish i beleive that they are going be great in Torino's arena and finally Chanel... nothing new but what she does, is done brilliantly, perfect...
Why do you not want it at Eurovision Cesar?
I recommend you to translate the lyrics and you will understand why there is a breast on the back. It is a feminist song. The word mama has several meanings depending how you pronounce it : it means mother if you put the accent in the last a and breast if you put it in the first a.
Hey Maria....yes I knew what the song was about...was just a bit of a shock to see it when I did haha....less of a shock last night as I was prepared .-)
Her message is about motherhood and the power of feminity. She sadly wonders why people are so scared to see women' tits and why women are supposed to cover their breast underneath their clothes. It's an hymn for life and freedom. I hope they show any English message during the performance so every people in Europe will understand what she is trying to say.
Yeah I agree V F....the message is AWESOME! If she wins Benidorm Fest they will have to think how that message can be communicated clearly!
I do not think this will work in Europe, because the knowledge of spanish language is probably making it more difficult. The message is lost. But I think it will win. The spanish usually have a bad taste when you ask the public. Quite the same as in germany etc
Shane, you have to listen to Julio Iglesias by Rigoberta, is amazing!!!
Hey Mario! Will give it a listen this weekend :-)
Thank you for the suggestion mate :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview you're welcome 😁
The best part of this song is the beautifull lyric about mathernity, please check them
I did....promise haha.....love the message of the song :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview We all do!
Sticking a chest out in true Delacroix style / I don't know why our boobs are so scary
Without them there would be no humanity and no beauty
and you know it well.
I LOVE the message of this song
André!
Spain would like that Rigoberta goes to Eurovision, but the jury fucked it up with their votes last night ☹️
Hey Racquel I wanted Rigoberta as well...but being outside of Spain and someone who loves Eurovision....I am happy with Chanel :-)
Its been so disappointing for the spanish people that Chanel won and its been so contriversial because Chanel was close friend of one of the prof judges. Chanel' s song its again the same as fuego or my number one (both winners) but that one was fresh, funny, message....my fav for so far...but, this is Spain.
I understand Spain's disappointment David! I liked Chanel and I think she will do really wel at Eurovision! But I do love/loved Rigoberta :-)
¿Has entendido la letra? / Have you understood lyric of song?? Es lo más!!!
Intentar convencer a los extranjeros del tengo que a tongo de televisión española Intentando convencer a este chico que es la mejor opción intentando convencer traduciendo la letra de que es un himno nada europa ve a flipar con la mierda de puesta en escena Otro año más perdido Y las tanxugueiras Qué son las únicas que tienen una canción épica impotente y buenas voces y que tienen tres meses para mejorar muchísimo toda la realización vestuario etc esas las dejan fuera un jurado formado por cinco por formado por cinco personas
Existen los puntos y las comas, ahí lo dejo.

You who bled for so many months through your life
Forgive me before beginning, I’m conceited
And you know it well
To you, who always has broth in the fridge
You, that could end so many wars
Listen to me
Mum, mum, mum
Let’s stop the city
By taking our breast out like pure Delacroix style
Mum, mum, mum
For so many mum, mum, mum, mum ….
All the mum, mum, mum, mum, mum ….
You who tightly bound your body to my head
Feeling like crying but with strength, listen to me
Mum, mum, mum
Let’s stop the city
By taking our breast out like pure Delacroix style
Mum, mum, mum
For so many mum, mum, mum, mum ….
All the mum, mum, mum, mum, mum ….
mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum ….
Long life to mums, mum, mum, mum….
I don’t know why our breasts are so scary
Without them there wouldn’t be humanity nor beauty
And you know it well
Lo, lo, lo, lo ….
And you know it well!
Listen to me!
MUM, MUM,. MUM!
This song is about free niple in media and feminism, it has a great message of women empowerment. It's just ridiculous how 2022 society stills considering women niples as offensive. Further more the song is tasteful and entertaining.
The song IS tasteful and entertaining....I love the message as well Eu Las :-)
Es una pena que no comprobéis la letra, porque ese es solo un pequeño significado de la canción. Feminismo, sumisión, maternidad, y otros son los temas que magistralmente se representan en los pocos minutos que dura la canción, pero que si no se entiende la letra no se entienden.
Todas la mamamamamamamamamama 😅
Haha did you go away and write this after our conversation :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview hahaha yeah coz you ghosted me right after jk. 👻🤣
Check: slow mo by Chanel, she is the winner for me
I did and loved it.
For me, the beginning shows how blind you can be at the moment you get married. A kind of desmystification.
It could be, but she said represent the old mom the pain that they suffer for their daugther and sons and all old mother that lost their family ( husbands, sons, daugther...) It represent the age in a mom. But good point of view!!
wow you are incredibly handsome, i totally fall in love with you
Haha thanks Carlos :-)
I find this performance totally crossed over to the other side of tasteful, even if I don’t dislike the song.
If this goes to Eurovision like this, it won’t matter how deep the message is, it’s going to be remembered as “The song with the massive tit”, making it more gimmicky than clever or insightful.
I’m reminded as well of Italy’s Francesco Gabbani’s Occidentali’s Karma in 2016. Even if it came 6th, it was one of the initial favourites but that dancer in the monkey costume was a complete put off and probably why it didn’t win.
I take your point Alberto of Francesco (2016).
It's a tough one Alberto! Now i KNOW THE LYRICS and the message I love it but you have a point....if this wins....and nothing changes (which I kind of hope it doesn't in all honesty) there is huge potential this could alienate a wide audience....I have to go back to my first listen not knowing anything...and it was the catchy melody that got me intrigued....so not sure if that will be enough....but who knows...if she wins....there is allot more that can be done with the staging to communicate the message more without translating the song into english!
Un homenaje a las mujeres de Afganistan
Chanel a Eurovisión. La Rigo también bien.
I like the song when I can just hear it - I just hated the staging. I am not sure if it was on the right side of tasteful. I just thought what the hell is going on - this is bizarre. I have not read the lyrics but from the staging it looks like it was all about breasts. I need to go and read the lyrics. Having said that I didn't tune out like a couple of them. I think the strongest of them was Ryden.
Yeah if you have no idea what the lyrics are about then you can get lost certainly.
If she wins she will need to make some serious decisions.
Does she go with what she has and go knowing picked her and she is representing Spain and performing this ART to the world knowing it will be mistranslated/lead to confusion but not care (which I kind of hope she does). Or does she play around with it and potentially ruin the authenticity of the whole package - which I personally think is Art.
I get the message but it still felt gimmicky to me. I was expecting something else for such a massive hymn !!!
Interesting! What did you expect? Out of curiosity :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview a more mature approach. Make more use of the universal concept of motherhood. A 3 min journey to what being a woman/mom means. Something like this!
Me decepcionaron bastante, necesitarian endiosar un poco mas la cancion y mejoraria la puesta en escena, al principio no se oye bien a Rigoberta, canta muy bajo
The whole Semi 2 was off vocally so I am assuming there was issues with tech! Hopping it is better tonight :-)
Ay Mama = Tu Cancion 2.0
Way to overhype a mediocre song. Why does it seem the majority of Spanish Eurofans have such bad taste?
Hopefully the jury will save them and deliver a win to a song that is not Ay Mama, so that Spain doesn’t end up bottom 5 again.
Exactly!! Spain really wants to finish in bottom 5 again
You are so cute man
Thanks Carlos :-)
It's not about having a baby, but the female body (especifically the mamas) being reported everywhere unless in the place that's well seen: porn/sexual industry.
Haha I now know this....feel stupid about the baby reference now haha!
