Olé, Olé, Olé! This afternoon Spanish broadcaster TVE has revealed its plans for Eurovision 2014. After months of speculation, we can now reveal to y’all that Spain will select both their artist and their song for Copenhagen.
Having selected Pastora Soler in 2012 and ESDM in 2013 using an internal selection process, TVE will return to a national selection process for the first time since 2011. Democracy in action!
Five artists have been confirmed to compete at this year’s national final. Along with their respective entries, they are:
Ruth Lorenzo
“Dancing In The Rain” (Composed by Ruth Lorenzo, Jim Irvin and Julian Emery)
Brequette Shane
“Más (Run)” (Composed by Tony Sánchez and Thomas G:son)
Jorge González
“Auque se Acabe el Mundo” (Composed by Kiko Rodríguez, Bruno Nicolás, Leticia Fuentes and María José Fernández)
Raúl
“Seguir sin Ti” (Composed by William Leque and Domingo Sánchez)
La Dama
“Estrella Fugaz” (Composed by Melendi)
That’s right folks. As we reported last year, former UK X Factor finalist Ruth Lorenzo will be in Spain’s Eurovision plans this year. You may also be familiar with Jorge González, as he tried to represent the country in 2009. The entries for the participants will be revealed at a later date.

Oops. Done and all sorted now. Thanks for pointing it out!
I saw in other articles that you always write “EDSM”. Is not “EDSM” is ESDM (El sueño de Morfeo, in English Morpheus’ Dream.) El -> The Sueño -> Dream De -> Of Morfeo -> Morpheus ESDM 😉 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ6oKE47soQ I hope Ruth beats Brequette, but I guess it will be very 50% 50% between this women. My predictions: 1º ¿RUTH? 2º ¿BREQUETTE? (I don´t like her, great voice but booooooring woman. However, probably she has a great song… Pastora Soler is helping her) 3º JORGE GONZÁLEZ (Jorge was runner up in The voice. He has a lot of fans, but the… Read more »
Hey wiwibloggs, why don’t you make an article about the leaked Belgian NF participants?
Emily – Dhani is just a troll, just ignore it and it’ll go away. All it wants is a reaction out of us.
@Dhani – Seriously? This is 21st century, not the medieval period.
Wow, that Brequette sure has a voice. Bit shouty and uncontrolled though..
We know we can expect some fab singing from Ruth, hope her song is good :)!
Dang, Raul is good. I hadn’t heard that preselection song from 2000. Hope he’s kept up his game 😀
Can’t wait to hear all the songs!
Erm, you do realize Jorge González and Raúl are both men right, Dhani?
Agree with D, which I seem to do about 98% of the time. Based off of what’s already known I’m rooting for Ruth.
why all these women ?????? eurovision should be for men only… women should stay in the kitchen where they belong!!
Without hearing the songs, I’m definitely rooting for Ruth Lorenzo. La Dama and Brequette Shane would be tied for second place.
Wait a second, I thought Maria Isabel would be one of them!!
