Rybak loves Algo pequeñito

Alexander Rybak meets Daniel Diges

Alexander Rybak, the 2009 Norwegian Eurovision winner, met up with the Spanish 2010 Eurovision representative Daniel Diges and was more than happy to share his opinion about the Spanish entry. Alexander told Daniel that he liked his song and thought that he was a great artist. Alexander assured Daniel that it was not important if he was performing in 2nd place, as people always remembered the first and last songs.

Alexander told Daniel that he was fascinated with the Spanish preview videoclip of Algo pequeñito. TVE will be transmitting the Eurovision Song Contest live on TVE 1 and TVE International at 21:00 CET, while a warm up show will be aired at 19:50 CET just before the contest, Destino Eurovisión, which will be hosted by Anne Igartiburu. The show will also continue after the Eurovision Song Contest final.

Daniel has had a very busy day rehearsing for tomorrow"s final, he will be wearing a grey suit. Daniel is very happy and satisfied with the whole organization of the show and is impressed with the Norwegian production. During the 2nd Spanish press conference today, Daniel was very touched when OGAE Greece awarded him with a prize ackonowledging his work and the Spanish entry. They awarded Daniel"s entry as their favourite 2010 Eurovision Song Contest melody.

@ Mi Reina.
I bet you are delighted I didn't have to upload the video on youtube.
Pity though, I really wanted to be as famous as DD.
:-DD

I really hope Spain gets a good place on the scoreboard. :) Preferably top 10 at least.
Their song is SO DARN good. x3

Spain deserves to do well this year, the song is so much better than the entries in the past few years (Soraya was terrible last year and I'm glad Soraya wasn't chosen this year!!)
I don't know yet what I'm going to vote for, but DD is definitely one of my favourites (with Belgium, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Israel and France)

Exiled Lt

Thats right Azerbaijan should be at the bottom of the list, I be happy if our entry won and that disaster drip drop is left at the bottom of the list so then it gets what it deserve, anyway, best of luck to all, especially to my number 1 Spain this year

It would be so cool if Spain won. I think the most shocked ones would be the executives of TVE :) My favourite is Israel, but it is closely followed by Spain and Armenia.

Yesssss! I want Daniel to be a surprise-winner. :) He has the whole package this year.

And I doubt Rybak is a hypocrite for saying this. He basically just said Daniel was great etc., but he didn't say it was his favourite song nor that he believe it will win. He said earlier he believes Lena will win.

Daniel was the most cheered performance at the rehearsal at 21 hours by fans and journalist...Most of them predict a Top 3 for Daniel Diges along with Germany and Greece...Good luck to everyone

Not me, I think you're funny :)

And if I am wrong (I truly hope so) and DD wins, I promise you...

a) La Espabila will dissapear into the shadows and will never bother TVE again.
b) I will eat the lyrics of DD's song - some of you will be hoping that I die asphyxiated eating paper.

TVE, carry on working hard so your dream come true!!!! :-DD

Good luck to DD - you are TRULY going to need it.

But for some reason, I think you are also going to end up like Soraya, Coral, etc - bitterly dissapointed and resentful with TVE

Or even worse... like Las Ketchup or Chiquiliquatre - gone with the wind.

Spain's stage show = a lesser class Adventureland = so original(!)


This is my opinion [59854]
Fri 28 May 2010 21:17:07

Yessss, as a previous winner receiving 387 points Alexander Rybak knows what he is talking baout, he can see Daniel Diges is strong contender, that beautiful show we've seen during the rehearsal had winner written all over it, I bet he is gonna win for Spain, yes I said it many times and I will vote for Sapin, best of luck Daniel ;)

I don't know about your Rybak but Dani has great hair

No, they're both clueless! :D

Well, certainly I have the feeling like we're going to fail again, as last years. Daniel won't be the guilty, even TVE won't be guilty this time.
I simply feel that Europe (juries and televote) won't vote for Spain whatever we send. It's something like Switzerland or the Netherlands. If Spain would send Rybak, we'd fail equally. But OK Azerbaijan sends an amateur diva-wannabe and she's automatically the fave.
Nobody will moan because we'd be at bottom again, because everybody see it as normal. Inside and outside Spain.
I only hope Daniel will make a fantastic performance, the rest well we know...
