Chanel returns to Eurovision; Melody defends ‘that diva’

Chanel will return to Eurovision three years after his historic performance with ‘Slomo’ to give the points of Spain in the final of May 17 in Basel, confirms Formulatv. RTVE has selected Chanel for paper. Soraya Arnelas – representative of Spain in Eurovision 2009 – communicated the “12 points” of Spain last year.

The reconciliation of Chanel and RTVE seems a reality after Chanel charged against the public chain last year for not having her in the final of Benidorm Fest. In that gala, Abraham Mateo sang ‘Clavaíto’ only in a medley of his successes. Chanel considered this decision of RTVE a “lack of respect for Eurofans and me.”

Chanel has also explained that she is focused by preparing new music. «In all artists, when one is working inside doors, it seems that you are sectioned. But in my case it has been a very fruitful path. I have a proposal, I am happy with the songs I have. «I have things to tell. A musical proposal that houses with my situation. I come warrior and wanting to sing and give the show ».

This year, Melody will represent Spain in Eurovision with ‘ESE Diva’, which has just relaunches in an improved new version. However, Melody has defended ‘that diva’ ensuring that ‘that diva’ was already a song before his update. “That diva is a great theme, it is a great song. There have been people who after the change of arrangements have said” now it is a song. “No, the song has always existed.”

In addition, Melody has commented on his low position in the current bets, where he appears in the 30th position of 37 artists. «The artist is not defined by betting houses, quality is defined on stage. I understand everything that Eurovision wraps, and that fans are very passionate, but I can’t be looking at a betting house. They don’t know me as an artist, they don’t know what I’m going to do, ”he said.
