Spain RTVE starts the search today November 15 for Eurovision 2011. After Roberto's Chikilicuatre bad joke and the live on air John Cobra scandal, Spain is finally changing the rules in order to select the artist
and the song for Eurovision Song Contest. RTVE will not be hosting an open internet selection like in the past years; the artist will have to go through a jury filter before appearing in the Galas. In addition the song and the artist will be choosen separately like in the Spanish national selection in 2007, when D'Nash were chosen and performed I love you mi vida composed by Rebecca who did not qualifiy to the big final. (Quite frankly I prefer Rebeca's version! BlogIlkar)
In order to access the galas candidates have to submit a video performing a song which has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest and can be performed in any language. Here is the biggest innovation of the selection since RTVE intends from the begining to create a link between the artist and the contest; together with the video candidates have to submit a short presentation video explaining why the want to represent Spain in Eurovision and a photograph.
Additionally RTVE will be hosting a live casting in Madrid on November 25 and in Barcelona on November 29. The pre-selected performers from online and live auditions will go through a final casting to be hosted on the week starting December 13. The organisers recommend to bring pre-recorded music for the live castings. Artist with bass, drums and keyboards are allowed to submit their songs only online while the rest can either submit their videos, perform live or even both. RTVE also mentions the possibility to select some already known artist although it is not clear if they have to submit their proposals or if they will be invited by the organisation.
Songwriters and composers will need to submit their songs from tomorrow till the December 12 by sending an mp3 or wav file. RTVE will select internally the songs that will be performed in the Big Final,a lthough it has not been told how many songs will be picked.
Seems like Spain keeps on trying to improve the poor results of the last years. Daniel Diges obtained the best results since 2005 reaching 15th. The last Top-10 for Spain was Ramón in 2004 and to see Spain in the Top-5 we have to go back 16 years when Anabel Conde finished 2nd in Oslo. Spain's only performance in a contest organized in Germany ended up with 0 points (so unfair!!! BlogIlkar) , since Remedios Amaya did not receive any single point in Munich 1983. I hope we will do mcuh better this time!
