Calling Spain (best result: winner in 1968 and 1969) a veteran of this contest is an understatement – this year marks their 50th appearance.
Who could forget all the controversy they caused in 1968 when they sent “la, la, la” and won?
And their entry from 1973 “eres tú” will always be one of my all time favourites.
This year it’s Daniel Diges‘ turn to represent the Iberian Kingdom.
He takes his song “algo pequeñito” (“something tiny”) to Oslo.
He is cute as hell charismatic. His song is not.
But he is a great singer and seems to actually like to be on stage presenting his song. Which makes the performance quite charming.
Daniel is no stranger to the gay community. You can’t be if you’re a part of the (Spanish) Mamma Mia! production (he plays the role of “Sky”).
It’s quite easy to read his song as a love song to another man. He wants to know if his feelings are mutual and so he asks him for a little gesture, a little sign.
How very gay.
We’re told they’re still working out a final version of their stage concept. I hope for some more lesbian potential around him. There should be enough room for some female dancers in hot suites (just ask Croatia!).
top lesbian line:
Something tiny, something very small
A tender gesture, a glance, a hug or a flower
Now try to change and other things will be arranged
result: 42%lesbian
Watch Daniel in Mamma Mia!:
