Hello! Welcome to my blog. This is my entry for the Vibes Web3 Music Competition in its 10th week.💜
Today, I’m singing “Arcade,” the winning song from the 2019 Eurovision contest by Dutch artist Duncan Laurence.🎶
@leonardo.audio chose this song because he thought it would sound great with my voice. So, this time, since I didn’t know the complete song, I had to learn it in less than 2 days to be able to record it and participate within this week’s theme.
You can imagine it was quite a challenge for me… But I did it! I learned the song in 2 days.😅
On the first day, I listened to the song to learn the melody. Then I focused on the lyrics, which were actually the most complicated part for me, as it usually happens. Finally, I adjusted everything to the appropriate vocal technique and the necessary intention to interpret this theme.
On the second day, recording day, after setting up, I had to do several takes, make mistakes, and take breaks by watching a series to relax because I got quite tense at one point. But after the break, and coming back, I nailed it in a single take.
Moreover, I realized that Leo was right: this song suits me beautifully, and it allowed me to use my vocal range in a different way, lots of chest voice, belting, and mixed voice, to create an incredibly satisfying result.
I’m very happy and proud of myself for achieving this so suddenly and having such a beautiful outcome. And I’m very grateful to Leo for believing in me and recommending this lovely song.💜
This song is about the struggle to find love and how loving someone can sometimes feel like a lost game. Although I don’t currently resonate with this theme, I can tell you that moving away from loving the wrong person, even if it appears to others as a lost game, is actually a victory.
The most beautiful thing about love is loving the right people.✨
Before I say goodbye, I want to thank my followers, the ones who react to my videos and leave incredibly valuable comments. It was much more than I expected.💫💜
On another note, I’ve realized that in the dynamics of this competition, support in the weekly Discord votes is also important. So, if you’d like to support me and happen to see me there, I would greatly appreciate your votes. It’s not very comfortable for me to ask, but it’s part of the process.
Thank you very much for being here!💜🦋
And if you’re just arriving, follow me for more music! 🎶💜

¡Hola! Bienvenidos a mi blog. Esta es mi participación en la Vibes Web3 Music Competition en su semana 10. 💜
Hoy les canto “Arcade”, la canción ganadora del concurso Eurovision en el año 2019 del neerlandés Duncan Laurence.🎶
@leonardo.audio eligió esta canción porque le pareció que quedaría genial en mi voz. Por lo tanto, esta vez, como no conocía la canción completa, tenía que aprenderla en menos de 2 días para poder grabarla y participar dentro de la temática de esta semana.
Se pueden imaginar que fue un gran reto para mí… ¡Pero lo logré! Me aprendí la canción en 2 días.😅
El primer día la pasé escuchando la canción para aprender la melodía. Luego me enfoqué en la letra, que en realidad para mí fue lo más complicado, como suele suceder. Finalmente, ajusté todo eso a la técnica vocal adecuada y a la intención necesaria para interpretar esta temática.
El segundo día, día de la grabación, después de ajustar el set, tuve que hacer varias tomas, equivocarme y descansar viendo una serie para relajarme, porque en un momento me puse muy tensa. Pero después del descanso, y al volver, en una sola toma me salió.
Además, me di cuenta de que Leo tenía razón: esta canción me queda hermosa y me permitió usar mi rango vocal de una manera distinta, mucha voz de pecho, belting y voz mixta, para que todo calzara de una manera increíblemente satisfactoria.
Estoy muy feliz y orgullosa de mí por lograr hacer esto tan de repente y que el resultado sea tan bonito. También estoy muy agradecida con Leo por creer en mí y por recomendar esta hermosa canción.💜
Esta canción trata sobre la lucha por encontrar el amor y cómo amar a alguien puede convertirse en un juego perdido. Aunque no resuene actualmente con esta temática, puedo decirles que salir de amar a la persona equivocada, y que eso quede hacia la mirada del resto como un juego perdido, en realidad es una victoria.
Lo más hermoso del amor es amar a las personas correctas.✨
No quiero despedirme sin antes agradecer a mis seguidores, a los que reaccionan a mis videos y dejan comentarios increíblemente valiosos para mí. Son mucho más de lo que yo esperaba. 💫💜
Por otro lado, me he dado cuenta de que en la dinámica del concurso es importante también el apoyo en las votaciones que se hacen cada semana en Discord. Así que, si les gustaría apoyarme y me ven por ahí, agradecería mucho sus votos. No es muy cómodo para mí hacer esto, pero es parte del proceso.
¡Muchas gracias por estar aquí! 💜🦋
Y si estás llegando, ¡sígueme para más música! 🎶💜

Increíble mi princesa 💖 Increíble lo mucho que logras transmitir a través de tu canto, tu habilidad para interpretar y transmitir emociones con tu voz es de otro mundo. Le mostré este video a mi mamá y lloró por la conexión tan genuina que pudiste generar con este presentación. Como dice ella, lo mas importante es que logres conectar con las personas, transmitir y generar impacto en ellas con tu voz, con esta presentación lo lograste.
Mereces todo lo bueno, eres una gran artista, estoy muy orgulloso de ti. Cada semana mejoras un montón y es algo digno de admirar, tu habilidad se ha desarrollado mucho desde que empezaste a participar en este concurso, ahora tu voz esta en un nuevo pico, te felicito, mi cantante favorita. 👏👏👏💖

Incredible, my princess! 💖 It’s incredible how much you convey through your singing. Your ability to interpret and express emotions with your voice is out of this world. I showed this video to my mom, and she cried because of the genuine connection you were able to create with this performance. As she says, the most important thing is that you manage to connect with people, convey, and make an impact on them with your voice—and you certainly achieved that with this presentation.
You deserve all the good things; you’re a great artist, and I’m so proud of you. Every week, you improve a lot, and it’s truly admirable. Your skill has developed significantly since you started participating in this competition, and now your voice has reached new heights. Congratulations, my favorite singer! 👏👏👏💖

Whaoo. This is beautiful, You sang the song so beautifully. I wish I could make use of your studio to make mine. Also, the song is one of my favorite music. Thanks for making it so well
Hello, it's good to see you here!😊 Thanks a lot. Yes, that would be great. It's a very beautiful song, I understand why it might be your favorite.💫 Thank you for leaving this comment, I appreciate it very much.✨
Heheh
You’re welcome 😊
Woah, as a vocal teacher (well, choir director...) This is mind blowing! I love it especially because there's no apparent use of auto-tune, which I abhore. The fact this is au naturale and also practically flawless means it will forever be underrated!
That's about as good as my praise can get about things.
Let's collab on a track sometime!
Hello, I also detest autotune as much as dubbing; for me, they are the worst things that exist.🤧 I prefer to do a thousand takes to achieve the ideal one instead of cheating.💫 In our area, we know what it means to strive to give our best. I’m very glad you enjoyed this performance, and I appreciate your comment very much. Thank you!✨💜
😲 wow,this absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️,
I love the passion and quality singing you put into it.
Well done 👍
Aw 🥰💜✨ How great that you enjoyed everything. Thank you very much! 💫💖
