Amaia & Alfred from the Operación Triunfo concert in Seville
ESC Covers had the pleasure of attending the cast of Operación Triunfo 2017 concert in Seville in Spain. The show was held at the La Cartuja stadium with a large and enthusiastic crowd.
Every song and act was hugely applauded and it was amazing to hear the audience sing a long to all the words of Tu Canción by Amaia & Alfred (the 2018 Eurovision song for Spain). There were other Eurovision songs too. Míriam y Thalía performed Euphoria (Loreen 2012 Sweden winner). Nerea sang a sensational version of Quédate Conmigo (Pastora Soler 2012 ESC Spain).
We also heard two songs from the 2018 Spanish national selection – Lo Malo by Aitana & Ana Guerra (which has been an even bigger hit than Tu Canción in Spain). We also heard Camina (that all five acts from the national final sang but this was the whole group version here).
Congratulations to the whole Operación Triunfo for a wonderful night of entertainment. Let us hope that the next season is just as fun.
You can see some video clips from the show in Seville below.

Spain will select their 2018 Eurovision Song Contest entry from the revived and popular tv show Operación Triunfo.
From the magnificent times of 2002 when Rosa sang Europe’s Living A Celebration, 2003 with Beth and Dime and Ramón in 2004 with Para Llenarme De Ti, when these songs were selected from the popular show.
Let us relive those memories below and hope for a great Spanish entry in 2018.
Ruth Lorenzo is back with a brand new single and video clip. The song is entitled Good Girls Don’t Lie. It is an upbeat and catchy track.
Ruth represented Spain at the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest with her song Dancing In The Rain. She was also a popular contestant in the UK X Factor in 2008.
You can see the video clip for Good Girls Don’t Lie below.
Pastora Soler was a big fan favourite in the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest in Baku, Azerbaijan with her song Quédate conmigo. Now she returns with another show stopping power ballad entitled La Tormenta (Storm).
The man behind the song is legendary Swedish composer Thomas G:son.
You can see the official lyric video for La Tormenta below.
The Spanish fans were furious when Manel won their selection – they wanted Mirela, yet the club then picked this song to be their entry in the second chance contest. Is it a waste chance for a win?
