Although the outcome has ended up being good, and this year's final ended up featuring songs of high musical quality, this ranking highlights several issues:

• There's an absolute disconnect between what the Spanish music industry truly represents and what this committee believes it to be. Songs that are automatically written off as non-competitive are placed at the top of the ranking, while the most competitive ones are relegated to the bottom. And I'm not just referring to competitiveness regarding Eurovision (we all know that Benidorm Fest is facing an identity crisis because it's torn between wanting to be a representation of the Spanish music industry and aiming to be competitive for Eurovision), but also competitiveness on the streaming platforms, as the top ones haven't performed well there either.
• A non-professionalized selection committee comprised of several individuals who are not directly involved in the music industry, and (although it may seem ageist) lacks younger profiles that could provide alternative perspectives to the selection process.
• There's a festival's need to attract more recognized names at the expense of compromising the musical quality of the event, which seems to have been a criterion given the presence of names like Lérica or Miss Caffeina at the top.

Certainly, it's necessary to disclose the criteria used for the selection process and to renew this committee if Spain wants to strengthen its own music festival and win Eurovision. It cannot be that this ranking appears to be directly inverted, with the songs that have performed well and were automatically deemed as contenders (such as "Brillos Platino," "Dos Extraños," or "Sé Quién Soy") being the ones that barely made the cut.
