Success. The public is already beginning to adore the Spanish.

Tears under the strain
chanel backstage
Backstage and with tears in her eyes, Chanel, still dressed in Palomo Spain, released a 14-second video in which she said she was "very good." She said it without avoiding tears. Of emotion, of course. "Thank you so much, it's just been amazing," she said. It is not for less. She had just submitted to her listing. After the pass of 'SloMo' on stage she went from fifth place (projected by the bets) to third. And the best was yet to come. She had already fulfilled her part: giving it her all in the eyes of the world. And the public and the jury recognized it. Up to eight countries gave him 12 points, a new record for Spain.
National proud
“We are proud”, Chanel said as soon as Eurovision finished and realized that she had achieved the best position for Spain in 27 years. Her glory Saturday ended (at least publicly) by speaking on television to thank Spain for her support. "What we have done, we have done from the heart," she affirmed Chanel, without avoiding showing an emotion that still shook her with the occasional nervous spasm. «We come from dance, where it is super difficult to get ahead and we are represented to the whole world of dance, of musicals…».
Chanel, after its third place
"Stay super good, happy, super excited," Chanel continued. “It is a dream that we have had day after day and it has come true. We cannot be more proud and happy, we have done it”, she affirmed. A pride shared by all of Spain. She had reaped a result that had not been achieved 27 years ago. And, most importantly, that Spain will be able, sooner rather than later, to revalidate a victory in Eurovision that ours resists. Your Saturday is over. At least on camera. He has a successful career ahead of him.
