SPAIN
Song: Como La Lola
Performer: Chloe DelaRosa
With Spain being the host nation for this year’s Junior Eurovision, RTVE went through an internal selection that received 290 applications. The competition was reduced to 16 finalists and in July, it was decided on Chloe DelaRosa. At only 9 years old, Chloe is the youngest entry at this year’s Junior Eurovision. Chloe comes from a showbiz family. Her father is a singer and music producer and her older brothers are actors. Chloe has already amassed a popularity on social media with her covers of songs. Her song is “Como La Lola” and she co-wrote it with three other writers.
The title “Como la Lola” means “Like The Lola.” The Lola she’s talking about in the song is Lola Flores: one of Spain’s most legendary singers, actresses and flamenco dancers. Like the Portuguese song, this song is also about Chloe’s dream to make it as a superstar singer, despite the tough odds. She trusts in her talent and inspiration from stars like Taylor Swift, Karol G, Olivia Rodrigo, La Shaki and Lola Flores. The song starts with high energy excitement and continues throughout. It sounds like a song that mixes 80’s high energy with early-60’s rock and roll. There’s even one small part before the chorus that has a common Spanish rhythm. Really a lot packed into the song along with Chloe’s enthusiasm. It’s a song many will find catchy.
JESC Chances: Very often at Eurovision or Junior Eurovision, the host nation sends a lame song in hopes they don’t host again. It’s too much of a hassle. Here it looks like Spain wouldn’t mind hosting twice in a row. One can sense they’re tired of their win from 2004 being their only win. In fact some JESC fans can sense hints of that 2004 winning song in that Taylor, Karol, Olivia, Shaki and Lola part! It has winner buzz, though it has a lot of competition from other entries. This song does give lots to love and it has many traits and qualities that make it very catchy. I found the biggest traits to be the energy, enthusiasm and the fun nature of the song. Despite that, it does risk being dismissed as too ‘cutesy.’ Some may not want Junior Eurovision songs to be overly cute. That’s Chloe’s biggest risk in not winning. Nevertheless I do believe this will at least get Top 5.

LYRICS “Como la Lola” Chloe DelaRosa
Spanish
Como la Lola
¡Como la Lola!
¡Como la Lola!
En mi escuela todos dicen que estoy loca
Pero no me importa porque se equivocan
Voy a echarle ganas, voy a echarle fe
Los sueños más grandes al principio son bebés
Soy como un pez en el agua cuando subo al escenario
Es cosa de los planetas porque yo he nacido acuario
Ya desde la cuna cogía el sonajero
Como si fuera un micro pa cantarle al mundo entero
Que de mayor yo quiero ser cantista
Cantante, artista, la protagonista
What! What! What!
Como la Taylor
Como la Karol
Yo quiero ser la moto-mami de mi barrio
Como la Olivia
Como la loba (¡La Shaki!)
Pero universal como la Lola
Como la Lo-lo-lo Lola
La-la la Lo-lo-lo Lola
Como la Lo-lo-lo-lo (¿Quién?)
Lola Flores, la más grande y la reina de corazones
¡Como la Lola!
¡Como la Lola!
¿Quién dijo miedo?
Es solo un juego
(Cero postureo)
Amo lo viejo
Amo lo nuevo
El arte verdadero
Quema como el fuego y es profundo como el mar
Y te hace cosquillitas por la tripa en un solo compás
Que de mayor yo quiero ser cantista
Que de mayor yo quiero ser cantista
Que de mayor yo voy a ser cantista
What! What! What!
Como la Taylor
Como la Karol
Yo quiero ser la moto-mami de mi barrio
Como la Olivia
Como la loba (¡La Shaki!)
Pero universal como la Lola
¡Pero universal como la Lola!
Como la Lo-lo-lo Lola
La-la la Lo-lo-lo Lola
Como la Lo-lo-lo-lo (¿Quién?)
Lola Flores, la más grande y la reina de corazones
Como la Lo-lo-lo Lola
La-la la Lo-lo-lo Lola
Como la Olivia
Como la loba (¡La Shaki!)
Pero universal como la Lola
(Como la Lola)
Quiero cantar en cada ciudad
(Como la Lola)
¡Y quiero ver a toda Europa bailar!
(Como la Lola)
Somos pequeños y queremos soñar
Music winѕ, I wanna dance!
Como la Lo-lo-lo Lola
La-la la Lo-lo-lo Lola
Como la Lo-lo-lo-lo-la
Como, como
Como la Lola, Lola

At school everyone says I’m crazy
But I don’t care because they’re wrong
I’m going to work hard on it, I’m going to put faith in it
The biggest dreams are baby seeds at first
I’m like fish in the water when I go on stage
It has to do with planets, I am an Aquarius
Already from the cradle I held the rattle
As if it were a microphone to sing to the whole world
When I grow up I want to be a “cantista”
Singer and artist, the protagonist
What! What! What!
Like Taylor
Like Karol
I want to be the “motomami” of my hood
Like Olivia
Like She Wolf (Shaki!)
But universal like Lola
Like Lo-lo-lo Lola
La-la la Lo-lo-lo Lola
Like Lo-lo-lo-lo (Who?)
Lola Flores, the greatest and the queen of hearts
Like Lola!
Like Lola!
Who said fear?
It’s just a game
(No pretending)
I love the old
I love the new
True art
Burns like fire and is deeper than the sea
And tickles your belly in a single beat
When I grow up I want to be a “cantista”
When I grow up I want to be a “cantista”
When I grow up I will be a “cantista”
What! What! What!
Like Taylor
Like Karol
I want to be the “motomami” of my hood
Like Olivia
Like She Wolf (Shaki!)
But universal like Lola
But universal like Lola!
Like Lo-lo-lo Lola
La-la la Lo-lo-lo Lola
Like Lo-lo-lo-lo (Who?)
Lola Flores, the greatest and the queen of hearts
Like Lo-lo-lo Lola
La-la la Lo-lo-lo Lola
Like Olivia
Like She Wolf (Shaki!)
But universal like Lola
(Like Lola)
I want to sing in every city
(Like Lola)
And I want to see the whole Europe dance!
(Like Lola)
We are young and we want to dream
Music winѕ, I wanna dance!
Like Lo-lo-lo Lola
La-la la Lo-lo-lo Lola
Like Lo-lo-lo-lo-la
Like, like
Like Lola, Lola
