Apparently the female juror said (translated): "LeKlein is my favourite but I've given my 12 to Manel because he's always on the radios"
 Listening to the Spanish Eurovision version for the first time, I prefer it to the original. As it is a bit shorter it feels a bit less repetitive, it'll probably settle somewhere in the middle of my rankings so far! Soraya and Ruth both won on ties but televoting took precedence for those two, poor Mirela having the rules changed just as she was going to finally win on her 3rd attempt! (or not as the juries would've just changed their votes  )

Yeah what a mess and I am glad I didn't watch it.
The fact one of them said that Manel has the most plays and therefore it's a better product to represent Spain. I thought this kind of fix only happens in belarussiazerbaijakraines but appaz not #mirelaeurovision |

Such a good boy this Manel is. Flipping a bird to the public and everything. Great representation.

Germany may not need to worry about getting a third consecutive last place then... Seriously, this is so truly awful.

Anyone thinking this scandal was just a storm in an OGAE Spain teacup is wrong, the second most popular Spanish political party is now demanding answers from RTVE over Objetivo Eurovisión due to concerns of corruption with the country's national broadcaster. In the winner's press conference that took place at RTVE yesterday, Manel was left to talk to the press alone as RTVE's head of entertainment and their head of Eurovision delegation refused to appear.
RTVE's head of entertainment also has links with Manel and his promotional team. In addition, Whatsapp messages have apparently leaked between Manel and Xavi (the male juror who put him 1st and Mirela last) from two weeks ago showing their friendliness and apparently even suggesting this wasn't just a matter of Sony buying two of the jurors but a masterplan that Manel and RTVE were both in on too. Sony Music Spain apparently said they'd pay for everything so that's why RTVE were happy to go along with it we imagine. Xavi (the male juror) was indeed attacked following the end of the broadcast last Saturday, however not by one of the Spanish Eurofans but actually by LeKlein's songwriter. LeKlein herself has posted on social media hinting that she knows it was all rigged too. This scandal isn't over yet! |

Why didn't they just internally select Manel?

It would've made sense! The only thing I can imagine is that Sony only put him forward after the lengthy Eurocasting wildcard online thing had already begun with the promise of a place in the national final so they didn't want to just abandon that, which is fair enough I guess.

I think them just going back on the promise of a place in the national final was preferable to rigging the whole thing for Manel
Or they should have just trusted what the result would have actually been, much much better songs than Manel that could have done very well at Eurovision have fallen at the NF stage in many countries, it is what it is.

Media reports coming out of Spain tonight that their Eurovision head of delegation has now resigned, two weeks before the head of delegations meeting in Kyiv where songs must be handed in. It's scandal after scandal!

So last night, Manel played a (very) small gig at the Hard Rock Café in London and I thought I'd head over, seeing as Do It for Your Lover is one of my favourite songs of the year. I had such a great time, the audience wasn't particularly substantial but it allowed for a lot of chat time, Manel and I spent a good 10 minutes talking while he had a cigarette outside
He's very down to earth, we spoke about a wide range of things (travelling, work, Ed Sheeran, music in general), and he said he was very proud of his Eurovision journey although he prefers Do It for Your Lover in English and he had to translate it for Eurovision. He also came and sat with me outside the café to tune his guitar as it was too noisy inside! Was amazing getting to chat to him, and his performance was fab too. Plus I got a couple of photos with him x
