Spanish entrant told "Don't Win Eurovision"

[h=1]Don't win Eurovision, Spanish entrant told[/h] Spain's Eurovision contestant has admitted the country would struggle to host the event if it were to win.

Directors from broadcasters TVE joked to Pastora Soler, who will represent them this year, "Please, don't win!"

"If we won, I think it would be impossible to stage the next edition because it costs so much money," she told ABC Punto Radio.

Thursday saw 10 more countries named finalists in the second semi-final to be held ahead of Saturday's main event.

Swedish entrant Loreen, considered by some to be the favourite this year, was among the successful acts to go through.

Lithuania, Malta, Norway and Turkey were among the other nations to join the 26 finalists.

The evening saw eight countries eliminated from the competition, among them Bulgaria, Croatia, Portugal and the Netherlands.

Spending cuts Pastora Soler will sing her ballad Quedate Conmigo (Stay With Me) at Saturday's final, to be held in the Azerbaijan capital of Baku.

It is written in the contest rules that the public broadcaster of the nation that wins must host the following year.

"I think it is not the moment, neither for Spain nor for Spanish public, to win Eurovision," Soler was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.

The Spanish government has slashed spending in public television, resulting in the cancellation of several popular programmes.

Spain last won the competition in 1969, when it shared a four-way tie with the UK, the Netherlands and France.

Spain also won the contest in 1968, 12 years after it started, with singer Massiel's song La La La.

I reckon UK and Ireland picked Jedward and Engelbert Humperdinck with the same logic in mind re: Expense of holding the event next year?

Professional eater of puppy dogs, baby heads and killer of grannies...

Would not bet on it. Here is a disgrace. Apparently the biggest financial contributors get to the final automatically. so the uk is already in the final. It is a bloody joke.

Yeah, it's us, France, Germany and somewhere else.

Did you not guess when that awful Scooch got through?

Scooch got to #5 in the UK! ;)

And the other 2 are Spain and Italy.

Not necessarily a good thing... Cher Lloyd managed to get to #1.

It's not as political now though, the votes are half the public and half a judging panel I think. I love Eurovision though, I've got the TV all to myself cos no one else in my family likes it.

It gets worse. Jedward are performing with a mobile fountain.

BTW, here is the review Mills + Coxy got via wikio alerts in my email today:-

A couple of final thoughts - 1) Could someone please tell Scott Mills that Herzegovina is not pronounced with an 'ee' sound before the 'a'? 2) How can the Yes campaign in the independence referendum even dream of launching themselves on the Friday of Eurovision week? There aren't enough hours in the day for such excitement.

God bless Scott Mills. He and Sara Cox are doing Eurovision semi-finals and they're playing the game: gay or just european? You just need to see some of finalists and say whether they are gay, or just... european :-)

Apparently the twin t**ts are going to be quite late in the running order?

No idea. My mum and dad were just saying what a waste of space they are just yesterday.

I will watch the programme until about 9:30 p.m., I think. Providing there isn't a good movie on (which would be better actually).

Didn't watch, but did I hear right the German winner from a few

Guess not, but it seems peeps can go in twice - Johnny Logan (Ireland?) did the Eurovision twice some time ago !!

It's Euro!! Seems it doesn't matter what happens... It disturbs me that behind all the glitz, there is a whole load of politics going on. Yes, I know you are gonna get that anywhere, but it is annoying.

    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
    • Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable.
