Before broadcasting the contest, TVE had a forgettable program called "Salvemos Eurovision" (Let's save Eurovision) in which they tried to keep everybody's interest in the contest. Ok, the best part was the following, which

So we had the contest, Russia won and I'm not ashamed of Spain's entry. I think the dance was funny and... #16... Compared to other years, this hasn't been a complete disaster. If they're not yet in Youtube, you can see them here.

This makes my entry for the list

The fact that Spain hasn't won the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) all but twice, being the second time a huge tie, is really a national drama. So dramatic that TV station La Sexta was planning a documentary speaking about May 68. Yes, the world was under revolutions, Paris was on arms, the US students were against Vietnam, but Spain had a fierce ( Read more... )

I think I can speak a little better than they do, but they surely sing better than me - and they're thinner!!!

In this case, a conservative politician has been accused of spending 45,000 EUR from his official cards from the City Council of Palma de Mallorca, where he was a member of the local Council in brothels. Add the fact that they were GAY brothels. Add the fact that he was one of the conservatives that ( Read more... )

Nope, I'm not speaking about General Elections to vote for the Parliament.

It's quite catchy... But not for export...

Most ESC fans might know this, but Spain, as ALWAYS desperate for some innovative formula to win the contest (we're still naive here), has decided to select its representative, well, at least 5 of the candidates that will be in the final, via MySpace ( Read more... )

Today the big conversation theme overheard in the cafeteria at work was not how FC Barcelona had a draw and lost the Liga first place. It wasn't either anything about the bitter political campaing for the upcomping elections. It wasn't the merger between the company and another that happened a few weeks ago.
