This is a great track.

I give it an 8.

The recorded version is a 12 in my books, but the vocals on the night were shouty, I don't like the clothing choices and the backing singers tend to overcrowd the stage.

 

[Marina Salty]

This is always popular in the gay clubs here.
I love it.

Wasn't she the favourite that year? Love the song, but vocally it wasn't that strong.

 

[Marina Salty]

She pulled it off quite nice, considering the fact she was really inexperienced.

 

[David]

The recorded version is all sorts of amazing, but on stage she almost sounded a bit ill to me...

Maybe she shouldn't have gone QUITE SO HARD, and were the backing singers in the wrong key or is it just me?

 

[David]

Overall the song is a 12, the performance a 7, and given the way the question is wordrd, I have to give it the latter.

 

[Madison]

Yep, performance-based voting please.

 

[Marina Salty]

performance-wise she's a 7, but she's one of the best things that happened on that year so she deserves the 12

 

[Kevin]

2003 might be my favourite Eurovision year.

 

[Madison]

performance-wise she's a 7, but she's one of the best things that happened on that year so she deserves the 12

Give it a seven then please.

 

[Alla]

As most of you said, great song, but not such a good performance.

 

[VoR]

Was it a big hit in Spain? Did she do anything else?

 

[Alla]

It was huge in Spain, but she lost the plot after Eurovision. She doesn't want to hear from it at all, and she's now recording music in Catalan and doesn't want to know about the rest of Spain. Whatever, Beth.

For some reason, RTVE released an HOUR-LONG documentary about “Dime” for its 20 year anniversary in 2023.

The first 15 minutes so far are all about how she hated this song so much:

It was also turned into a funeral march song in a “musical comedy-drama” television series last year:
