Blanca Paloma, native of Elche, and her EAEA will take the stage in position number 8
The Liverpool Echo Arena is preparing to experience Eurovision, with all participating countries confirmed for Saturday's grand final, the event that millions of fans throughout Europe and even in other parts of the world are already waiting for, where the festival is followed with great excitement despite of not having representatives.
The big countries in the competition (known as the Big Five) and the previous winner (Ukraine) do not participate in the semi-finals. This edition of the contest is awaited with great expectation, especially after last year's controversy, where Ukraine's victory was criticized, alleging political reasons due to the war conflict in which the country is immersed.
This especially outraged Spanish fans, who for the first time in many years saw how a Chanel with its justmo He was able to lead Spain to fight until the end for victory but, between the reversal of the popular vote with Ukraine and a tight battle with the United Kingdom candidate, Sam Ryder, he had to settle for third place. A vote that was not without controversy, since the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) was forced to carry out an investigation into some irregularities detected in the votes of six countries.
This year, the Spanish representation is carried out by Blanca Paloma, a native of Elche, and her EAEA; with which it aims, at least, to equal the results obtained by Chanel in the last edition, will perform in position number 8, around 21:45 p.m. of the night approximately.
The history of the Spanish representatives in Eurovision passes through the Canary Islands, the archipelago being one of the Spanish communities with the greatest presence in the international competition. Braulio was the first Canarian to represent Spain at the festival with his song "Words are unnecessary" and achieving sixteenth position. Two years later it would be José Velez, who finished in ninth position with “Let's dance a waltz.” Patricia Kraus, Ramón del Castillo, Mikel Hennet with the group D'Nash and Raquel del Rosario with El Sueño de Morfeo also participated later in 2013. The Gran Canarian Geno Machado also participated in 2002 as a backup singer for Rosa López, representative of that year.
The Canary Islands, Europe and the world are already prepared to experience one of the most anticipated events of the year this Saturday.
