Eurovision, is a famous festival that every year Europe celebrate. Normally, Eurovision is broadcast in May and it is broadcast in all the europe's TVs. Also, in some other countries of other continents like Australia.
And we know, Spain isn't the perfect country to win Eurovision Song Contest. We never have the winner song. And if we have it, the european countries don't vote to our country. For example, in 2012 Pastora Soler represented Spain in the festival and the song was a fantastic ballad and the singer was incredible on the stage, but we had the tenth position, and obviously we didn't win...

If we remember, Spain hasn't have a good song for Eurovision every year. Only, we won in the years 1968, in London, with the song "La, la, la" by Massiel and the second time was in 1969 with Salome with the song "Vivo Cantando". But not more. There were years that we got 0 points.
On the left, you can see how was the show of Rodolfo el Chikiliquatre. Perhaps that year year was the worse...
This year, TVE (televisión española), didn't choose a singer for represent Spain in Eurovision Song Contest. There was a preselection and the spanish viewers voted the artist that they like. But it's possible that TVE said a false thing. They invented who is the winner for represent Spain in the festival. I say it because the spanish viewers must voted to our favorite singer and TVE say that we choose Ruth. In twitter thousands of people was angry. So maybe TVE said that the winner is Ruth but the truth is Brequette is the winner.
There was two favorite artist. The first, is my favorite because the song is incredible. She is Brequette Cassie. And the other, is the person that is going to represent Spain this year, Ruth Lorenzo.
Ruth Lorenzo: Dancing in the rain
Brequette Cassie: Más (Run)
Ruth Lorenzo is very famous in the United Kingdom because she participated in a TV programme called The X Factor (like The Voice in our country). So we can say that we are going to have the votes of The UK. Also, votes from Portugal.
Last position for Spain |
In my opinion, this year is also difficult to win with the simple song dancing in the rain but it is only my opinion.
It's probably that we see in this edition of Eurovision in Denmark, Spain in the last positions. Ruth Lorenzo said that she want to see water in the stage. And when she sing, the water fall like the rain. If Ruth can get the water, perhaps Spain have a good position this year. The staging is very important in this festival. There are between 200 and 600 million of people that watch Eurovision Song Contest, so the staging must be perfect. If the staging is bad, maybe we are going to have this position (image on the right).
