Benidorm Fest 2023 kicks off tonight with its first semi final live from Spain! A total of nine acts are going to be competing for four places that lead to the Grand Final, which will take place this Saturday, 4th of February.

In the past weeks we asked you to let us know which are YOUR personal favorites in this semi final, by voting for up to four songs. At the moment of writing the article, the current standings of our poll were as follows:

1. Megara – Arcadia – 30%
2. Agoney – Quiero arder – 28%
3. Fusa Nocta – Mi familia – 14%
4. Aritz Aren – Flamenco – 8%
5. Alice Wonder – Yo quisiera – 8%
6. Sofia Martin – Tuki – 5%
7. Sharonne – Aire – 4%
8. Twin Melody – Sayonara – 1%
9. Meler – No nos moveran – 1%

Our team members have also listened to the songs and voted. This is the ranking of our team:

1. Megara – Arcadia
2. Agoney – Quiero arder
3. Fusa Nocta – Mi familia
4. Alice Wonder – Yo quisiera
5. Sharonne – Aire
6. Aritz Aren – Flamenco
7. Meler – No nos moveran
8. Sofia Martin – Tuki
9. Twin Melody – Sayonara

Both our team members and our readers agree that three of the four qualifiers tonight should be Megara, Agoney and Fusa Nocta. And whilst our team members believe that the fourth qualifier should be Alice Wonder, our readers want to see Aritz Aren back again in Saturday’s Final.

Our poll for semi final 1 is going to close at the end of tonight’s show, and you can still let us know who your favorites are in both semi finals by voting below:
