On Dec. 23 Spain’s TVE held a press conference in Madrid to introduce the press to Pastora Soler, Spain’s contestant for Eurovision 2012. Best known for her flamenco-influenced songs, Soler told the media that she won’t be holding castanets and dancing around in sequins: she’d prefer to sing a ballad.
To get that ballad, TVE has invited composers who have worked with Soler in the past to submit potential entries. The call is not open to the general public. A special jury will whittle the entries down, and Soler will perform them during a presentation show in February. Viewers at home and a professional jury will then choose Soler’s song for Baku.
What do y’all think ofĀ āYo no te pido la lunaā (I don’t ask the moon)? Word has it this is a front-runner…
LISTEN:
Carola sang this in Swedish back in 1984, it was called “Amore”. (Kom hit och ge mig amore…”)
I’d prefer Demasiado Amor to be honest, but it was out before Sept 1st š
You’re joking, right? This song is at least from the nineties. (I remember CAROLA singing it in the Swedish postcard for ESC1991)
