Thanks, but we do not always deserve it. The blunder in 2018 was our fault. "Malo" was the best choice in the national contest. Search for the song, you will understand everything.

i have to say that Pastora in 2012 was AMAZING!!! getting 10th place was absolutely criminal. i still can't get over the fact that those grandmas from Russia got 2nd place and Pastora got 10th. also i think Edurne in 2015 deserved a higher place. i liked her a lot but that year was pretty hard. there were a lot of great songs.

Este hombre se merece UN MONUMENTO EN LA PLAZA ESPAÑA DE MADRID! Gracias por darnos visibilidad y a las recibidas infravaloraciones.

About Chiquilicuatre, we totally gave Eurovision the middle finger with him, actually, the charcter and the song were thought as a joke by a really well known humorist here in Spain, but ey, we knew we were going to end with really shitty results no matter what song we chose, so we decide to have a good laugh about it all at least xD

Right! "Estoy aqui" by Rapahel also was a massive hit. "Gwendolyn", by ulio Iglesias, "Bailar Pegados" by Sergio Dalma and "Nacida para Amar" re-recorded by Luis Miguel as "Amante del Amor"and became a hit. Song was written by the same author of "Eres tu". The others were famous for other songs, tho.

Yeah, in 2008 we sent that like a joke because in Spain we have an inside joke of winning Eurovision, like: “we won’t win anyways so we don’t really care” and that year just went too far. The thing is: we joke about it but we really enjoy watch it and make comments about it. Thanks for the review though. My favourites are Anabel Conde, Pastora Soler and Amaia and Alfred.

Pastora in 2012 was PERFECTION!

Baila chicki chicki

Thanks for your excellent review, Matt. I am the first one to admit we have sent some trash songs over the years but we are soooo underrated when we’ve sent quality songs, it is frustrating at times. I wish I am mistaken but no high hopes for 2019 either. I loved Tú canción and Amaia & Alfred’s performance in Lisbon but there were too many external factors that sank their song to where it ended (i.e. wrong decisions by Spanish delegation regarding staging, hectic promotional tour prior to the festival, etc). At this point I ignore if something’s been learned from that. Our 2019 representative will also come out from this year’s Operación Triunfo edition, which doesn’t fancy me much. Let’s see how underrated we end. Thanks again for your great review and superb objective Eurovision channel.

You review was spot on but as many spaniards already have, I have assumed that no matter what song we send to Eurovision we will never win again. :-(

Yes, in 2008 Spain gave Eurovision the middle finger. And I think and I hope that soon we are going to repeat it.

In 2008 we didn't really give the middle finger to Eurovision, we more like gave the middle finger to the public tv channel that selects the songs, because it was the first year that they let us choose the song and I think the general opinion was that the few last years were crap lol so we just sent something bad but funny ahead to at least have a bit of fun instead of just cringing xD Ironicaly it ended up in a higher position that those past songs.

Well, that's a literal interpretation of the song (which is not exactly what she mean it). It's curious because the song was absolutely hated in Spain when it was selected, but with the perspective of the time i think it was not that bad at all. Everything went wrong that year, she even had some accusations of racism (she was forbidden to wear the original dress, and of corse she was not supposed to perform barefoot)

Pastora needed so much more than she got. Robbed.

I'd like to say in 2008 they made a public voting system to choose which spanish song will go to the contest. Since we have send tons of great (and no so great) songs to the contest and never got a deserved place we decided to show Europe our middle finger. That's what happened. We didn't win (of course) or got a "good place" but we enjoyed it a lot!.

Loved Spain’s 2018 song

Muchas gracias

1978 Bailamos Un Vals by Jose Velez was the best song of 1978 and my third favourite Spanish entry ever.

Great video, as usual. I was wondering how long UMG would let your video stay up and then I saw your solution. It is really a shame that they are such a**holes... They have just flagged my pre contest review of all songs from way back in April... Keep up the good work and you nearly gave me a heart attack when you said you hated Vuelve Conmigo. :)

La mejor canción de España ha sido Eres tú de Mocedades, éxito en las listas de Estados Unidos en español, en 1973.

I can explain you what happened in 1965: today is weird, but in that times, the singer didn't move far to the microphone, this was forbidden, and she dance a little. She sung a mix between a traditional music style (copla), and modern music. She is the same woman who sung in 1961. In 1961, he weared a typical dress (but without the arms), which usually are very, very heavy; around 30 kilos, with a large tail. If you see the original video, she downstairs with that like if she didn't wearing nothing. And she was the first Conchita in Eurovision, Conchita Bautista. About 1968, Massiel won because the jury knew she had less than a month to prepare all, learn the song, and all, so she received more points for that. In the beginning, that song was for Joan Manel Serrat, but i the last minute, he decided to sung it in catalán. Of course, Franco wasn´t agree, and he was banned (and have a lot of problems), and they quickly must to find another singer. Massiel left her tour in Mexico for that.

Raphael, Karina, Mocedades, Sergio Dalma,Paloma San Basilio, Azucar Moreno...and a a few more of those artists were huge in Latin America also. Some of thoe songs had comercial success. You should react to them. Raphael is a legend.

You know you're early when the video has no views 😂😂

1990 How come you first think I'm trash? ;) This flamenco Still give me goosebumbs and it's grooving. It sounded good even with tape confusion in live without vocals. :)

I might be a little biased since I'm Mexican and spaniard. But Spain has been robbed on so many occasions that it's criminal now. Especially in 2018 and 2012, I want them to win another contest. It's been too long.

1968 is such a guilty pleasure

The advertisement in this video was a Spanish Trailer with Vivo Cantando in the BSO... wow

My question is who you think should represent Spain for next years contest? I would love to see Edurne come back for another try. I absolutely loved her song in 2015, and I think with some small tweaks, I think it could of possibly won or be at least top 5. But near the bottom, I thought it was too low.

Let's just hope we don't get a repeat of 2017. Just saying. I think they're trying though. I think this years entry should of at least been at least in the middle. I thought it was a cute song to be honest. But I do agree that they should of had the runner up to the contest.

Bandido, mi canción favorita de todos los tiempos y siempre fue y sera moderna. Saludos desde Serbia

My favourite is 1996. Such an ethnic and fascinating song :)

Yeah... Manel was... forget it xD Aún me da rabia toda la injusticia que hubo ese año. El público no quería que fuera, queríamos que le fuera mal en eurovisión y cuando hizo el gallo fue como.. bien! Buscamos el último puesto xD Muy comentado jajaja Thank you for the vídeo. Greetings from spain ^_^

Spain is one of my favourite countries in the ESC, even though ultimately Spain hasn't been really up to it. Bandido is still one of my all time favourite entries, and my number one spanish entry. Other gems are Estando Contigo, En Un Mundo Nuevo and Vuelve Conmigo. And the fact that Paloma San Basilio ended far down the scoreboard is still unbelievable to me. Then Spain sent 4 brilliant uptempo songs in the consecutive years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 - my personal favourite being Dime (but yes, Beth did not do a very good vocal performance). But ever since 2004 Spain has only managed to place 10th twice. A top 10 IS still a good placing. It's true that Pastora Soler did an amazing vocal performance - but unfortunately her song was quite generic. I really liked Say Yey - but the staging...uff... Come on Spain - I am waiting for another great entry! It's been so long.....

I voted Spain in 2012. Stunning performance cannot understand why it didn’t do better.

My favorites: 1968 (I actually love the melody) 1969 1973 (Duh!) 1989 1990 1995 (Duh!) 1997 2001 2002 2011 2012 (Duh!) 2014 (Duh!) 2018

Rapahel for the Win 66 & 67 🙂 so much energy on stage. never stop to listen to him and these songs.

Great review, agree on most opinions. Think the biggest robbery was Say yay, it was a clear contender to win and is a song that still keeps growing quite a lot on youtube, didn't even remotely deserve to end up near last. Beth is a great vocalist, but Dime was pretty much the opposite of her usual style so it felt a bit out of place, and she even said that she didn't really like the song lol. And Chiquilicuatre, some people are commenting that it was deffo a middle finger, and while partially that's true, I think it was mostly something like a "don't have the balls to send a joke song to eurovision" "hold my beer" moment. Was mostly about having a laugh.

I agree with you! 60’s were awesome!and 70’s even better with Karina and Mocedades!and Su canción!

Hahahahaha thank you for the video... so nice .... I think Pastora Soler deserved the firs place , not for been Spanish, for her amazing amazing voice she is so talented artist

Have they ever considered making a major motion picture about the 1969 contest; the one that ended in a 4-way tie? BTW, I have a toothpick that held a piece of Manchego that Edurne was offering samples of at the Eurovision Village in 2015.

From Ireland, Alfred and almaia were the best, loved them

I loved Amanecer by Edurne. I think she was totally thrown by that wind machine, killing her makeup.

Please, read the lirycs of "Brujería". Good video, greetings from Spain💜.

Pocos han hecho una carrera internacional y muy conocidos en medio mundo, Aquí te vito algunos: Raphael, Julio Iglesias, Massiel, Mocedades, Paloma San Basilio, y poquitos más. Otros han tenido éxitos esporádicos como Nicky, Peret, Karina, Sergio Dalma o una grandiosa gira de Daniel Diges por Sudamérica con Los Miserables.

When you want, I tell you what it was, what it has been and what it is about the representatives of Spain in Eurovision.

The problem with Eurovision fans and commentators is that they listen endlessly to each and every song before the contest and over analyse. What you fans forget is that the overwhelming percentage of Eurovision viewers, and therefore the ones who vote, hear each song once, on the night of the performance. after that they forget all the songs with the exception of maybe the winner and perhaps their national song which they cannot vote for. Ask any British person to sing a few lines from a British Eurovison entry during the last twenty years and they'd be stumped. I believe it would be the same in any other country if they haven't had a winner.

Los mejores de España para mí, son las dos veces de Raphael, Mocedades, Karina, Rosa López, Ruth Lorenzo, Edurne, Daniel Diges, Lucía,1984, Azúcar Moreno, Anabel Conde, Sergio Dalma, Pastora Soler, Ramón, David Civera......

A este hombre le gusta mucho lo flamenquito y las moviditas.

2008 Chikilicuatre was a middlefinger to Eurovision, for sure. After Rosa, Spanish people had look to Eurovision just like a funny request for political reasons and Chikilicuatre was so asked to go when he showed in a humoriatic program, Buenafuente. I'm sure that year everyone was looking Eurovision laughing at it.

Spain shared its victory with 3 other countries in 1969 in Madrid, and we all know Franco bribed jurors in 1968, so....

You should listen to the original la,la,la wrote and sang by Joan Manuel Serrat. The lyrics are different. It was a protest song. The type of music you like it was in fashion in the 2000s but now doesn’t work.
