Another reason related to this year's winner: Switzerland. Since 2022, we have been copying this country in placements. In 2021, Switzerland came up 3rd with a song that was one of the favourites. So did Spain in 2022, ending up 3rd as well. In that year Switzerland ended up 17th with a top 10 in jury but having the worst televote result of the night. So did Spain in 2023 with the same results in jury and televote. In the same year Switzerland came badly placed with a good song according to me at least. In 2024 Spain sent a good song that was clear top 10 according to the tops on YT and came up 22nd. Switzerland won that year with the jury's record of "most sets of 12 points", and... So will do Spain in 2025? I really hope ❤️🇪🇦❤️
as a spanish eurofan, my parents said if spain wins we’ll go the year after that so i am ROOTING FOR MY COUNTRY MORE THAN EVER. it would rrreeeaaaaalllyyy be a dream come true 😭 such a good video as always hayden!! 💗
Spain won 1968 and 1969 Luxemburg won 1972 and 1973 Israel won 1978 and 1979 Ireland won 1992, 1993 and 1994 That's all countries which won two times in a road
@@johnoflaherty9105 It's also true that the Euro exception were Spain's wins in 2008 and 2012, casually ending up second last in their respective next years. But I trust in the other 4 reasons. Hope is the last thing you loose, right?
@@sergiomontessuarezYep ...a very fair point after all Spain missed out (2nd) in the 1995 contest with a wonderful song to Norway. "Nocturne" was an atmospheric violin solo with a few very repetitive lyrics. Spain's entry was and still is a ESC favourite of mine. 1995 was one of the best contests in my mind anyway.
I honestly don't think that Spain is on an upward Trajectory overall, the Creative Director of Benidorm in 2022 and 2023 got kicked out and it's very noticeable: the Songs in this Year's Benidorm were (imo) significantly weaker than the Year before. I - hands down - didn't like a single Song in the whole Selection, perhaps Remitente, but did it truly live up to Eaea? It's almost an Archievement to archieve such a THing as me liking none of the Songs: I liked almost all Songs of Vidbir and even Germany's Selection which is infamously terrible had a Song that I listen to to this Day. Spain's Eurovision Result also reflects that Drop in Quality: Zorra received only 30% of Eaea's Points, even if Eaea scored only 5 Places higher, that does show that while Zorra was well-received among the Spanish and Eurovision Fans, it didn't click outside of that Bubble. 5 Televoting Points are terrible, but it's not like 11 are a great Result either. And at least Eaea placed 10th with Juries, so that Entry had some Merit while Zorra worked for neither. Even Run Un Ah Äh, one of the most hated Entries before the Performances, got more Televote Points than 11. The most interesting Thing is that in the last 8 Years, we had 2 other Big5 Countries in the same Situation: Germany placed 4th in 2018 and fell off immediately - through harder than Spain, I'll admit that. But so did the UK which almost won (and probably would have without certain Events) only to fall off back to 25th Place in the following Year and getting Nul Points from Televoters this Year. I think SloMo was the Exception that proves the Rule. PS: Saw you posting against the pro-palestinensian ESC-Bubble-Mob (there is no other way to call it at this Point) on Twitter the other Day and already voiced my Agreement there, but I just want to add how I like that you are going against the Flow. I wouldn't go as far as to call it courageous per-se, but these Days, you fully have to expect getting boycotted or receiving malicious Comments from the ESC Community if you dare voice an Opinion that is not 1000% pro-palestinensian. It's admirable.
In Spain we cannot wait for that victory to happen!

This Year Benidorm fest revived almost 1000 songs, lets hope in thah 1000, theres a Winner❤
As a Spanish eurofan this is officially my new motivational video whenever my spirits are low.
Heres another reason: I think its the only country that won two years consecutive
Not correct
Ireland won 3 years in a row, Luxembourg did twice, and some others but I forgot
@@ESCOscar Israel won for the 1st time in 1978 and again on home soil in 1979.
Spain won 1968 and 1969
Luxemburg won 1972 and 1973
Israel won 1978 and 1979
Ireland won 1992, 1993 and 1994
That's all countries which won two times in a road
Fair enough but I think unlikely. Liked the football analogies!

@@AlejandroRodriguez-ew6se true. If it helps, I think you should have won/finished 2nd in 2022.
@@johnoflaherty9105 I agreed...if it was a dance competition Spain wins 2022 easily BUT it is a song contest so they didn't win or come 2nd.....
@@kenneththom9165the song is not the only thing that counts in the contest anymore, though
