I think he got his wig from a different shop than me.
Is this Spain's Eurovision entry this year?
I think a Flamenco "boy band" (or "girl band") would be good though.

cheers,

Ron

In some places i thought it worked well. Then it sounded the singer is out of tune? Or the melodies were not really common to me. Anyways, Tomatito getting more groupies

Not really bad, since he didnt try to change flamenco into something different. His playing was flamenco, so, not really bad at all. Every guitarrist would take the chance to play in front of thousands. Flamenco is very rare, and we should do the best to promote it IMO.

I thought that the spanish euro entry may have had a small dose of flamenco in it too, but then thinking about it, I think I'm happier that it doesn't!
If it did it would probably be a ****ing lame representation of flamenco.

And yes the spanish song is awful, just like all the other songs in that dreadful spectacle they call eurovision!!!
Whats wrong with people??!!@@~""£***Arghhhh!

Isn't that what the Gypsy Kings are, in a way? I suppose there's no greedy, scheming manager that put them all together, but other than that they are a kinda "Gitano Boy Band".
