Eurovision Song Contest
[edit]Benidorm Fest 2025
[edit]Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE), organised a 16-entry competition, Benidorm Fest 2025, the fourth iteration of the event, in order to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. It consisted of two semi-finals consisting of eight songs, with the top four songs in each semi-final qualifying for the final. The results of each show were determined through a combination of public televoting, a mobile app vote, and an expert jury. The categories made up of 25%, 25%, and 50% of the total vote, respectively.[1][2]
RTVE announced "Esa diva" as a competing song in the selection on 12 November 2024.[3] It was placed into the second semi-final, where it was drawn to perform last.[4] On 30 January 2025, it qualified from its semi-final, after finishing in the top half of the jury and public votes. On 1 February 2024, "Esa diva" was performed last in the final, and won the contest after getting first place from the televote and third place from the jury.[5][6] As a result, it will represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.[7]
At Eurovision
[edit]The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 will take place at St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland, and will consist of two semi-finals to be held on the respective dates of 13 and 16 May and the final on 17 May 2025.[8] As Spain was a member of the "Big Five", "Esa diva" automatically qualified for the grand final.[9]
