Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest
Encyclopedia
Spain debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1961, finishing 9th. Since 1999, Spain is one of the "Big Five" (along with France
, Germany
, the United Kingdom and Italy
) and therefore automatically allowed to participate in the final because they are the five biggest financial contributors to the European Broadcasting Union
.
Spain has won the contest twice, first in 1968
with the song "La, la, la
" sung by Massiel
and second one year later
, when Salomé
's "Vivo cantando
" was involved in a four way tie with Lulu
's "Boom Bang-a-Bang
", representing the United Kingdom
, Frida Boccara
's "Un jour, un enfant
", representing France
, and Lennie Kuhr's "De troubadour
"", representing the Netherlands
. Spain has only hosted the contest once, in 1969, since lots were drawn after 1969's four way tie, and the contest was hosted by the Netherlands. Some critics may claim that Spain should never have had a victory. In 2008 allegations rang out that the Spanish government had been desperate for a Spanish victory, that they sold Eastern European singers to Western European countries in exchange for votes. Then in 1969, had the current voting system been in place - France would have won.
Spain has competed in the contest continuously since the country's debut in 1961, having already appeared in 51 consecutive contests. The only country with a longer run of uninterrupted Eurovision appearances is the United Kingdom, ever-present since 1959.
Spain was represented in the 50th anniversary special of Eurovision Congratulations
by their 1973 entrants Mocedades
, singing the song "Eres tú
". The song had made it into the top 14 for the special after being selected in an online vote by the voting public across Europe.
. Before that, internal selections and national contests, like Pasaporte a Dublín (Passport to Dublin) in 1971, were alternated. In 2000 and 2001, TVE organized a national preselection show called Eurocanción (Eurosong), where the Spanish representative was selected for the contest. From 2002 to 2004, the reality show Operación Triunfo
(the Spanish version of Star Academy
) was used to select the entry, a format that renewed the Spanish audience's interest in the contest,until TVE decided not to host any further editions of the show. In 2005, the national final Eurovisión 2005: Elige nuestra canción (Eurovision 2005: Choose Our Song) was organized, where the audience chose their favorite song among a pre-selection made by TVE of unknown artists submitted to them by record labels. The result in the Eurovision final was not good and for 2006, the selection was made internally for the first time since 1999, with a similar result. In 2007, Spain's entry was decided through the Misión Eurovisión 2007
show, with a disappointing result once again.
Since 2008, the Internet
has been the key element of the competitions used by TVE to select the Spanish entry. In 2008, the social networking website MySpace
was involved in the national final Salvemos Eurovisión
(Let's Save Eurovision). A website was created to make it possible for anyone to upload a song and proceed to a televised final if chosen by online voters or an expert jury. The result improved a little, but not much; nevertheless the interest of the Spanish audience was revived again. For 2009, MySpace was still involved in the selection process Eurovisión 2009: El retorno
(Eurovision 2009: The Return), although some changes were introduced in the format. The result was the worst in the 2000s: 23rd place. In 2010, a similar format, ¡Tu país te necesita!
(Your Country Needs You!), selected the Spanish entry. In 2011, online voting was scrapped from the new selection method Destino Eurovisión.

returned to the contest in 2011, thus becoming part of a "Big Five".
, "Nel blu dipinto di blu" by Domenico Modugno
). The first time this happened to a Spanish representative was in the 1990 contest
in Zagreb
, when Azúcar Moreno
opened the contest with the song "Bandido." The orchestra and the recorded playback began the song out of sync, which caused the singers to miss their cue. The singers left the stage after a few seconds, and no explanation was given at the time. After a few uneasy moments, the music began correctly and the song was performed in full. Azúcar Moreno and "Bandido" went on to place fifth in the final vote tally, though the juries at the time actually awarded their points after watching the dress rehearsal performances, so the restart did not affect Spain's overall result either positively or negatively.
Twenty years later, at the 2010 contest
in Oslo
, Spain was drawn to perform second in the running order, and singer Daniel Diges
's performance of "Algo pequeñito
" was disturbed by notorious pitch invader Jimmy Jump
. However, Diges performed the song in full, despite the invader's intrusion and subsequent removal from the stage by security personnel, and received warm applause from the spectators at the Telenor Arena
. After the exhibition of Serbia, co-presenter Nadia Hasnaoui
announced that, according to the rules, Diges would be given a second chance once all the remaining countries had performed. Nonetheless, the juries ranked the dress-rehearsal performance of "Algo pequeñito" 20th out of 25 with 43 points, whereas the televoting results ranked Spain 12th, with 106 points. The combination of jury and televote results gave Spain a 15th-place.
