Soon, Ruth Lorenzo will be celebrating: a decade has passed since she represented Spain in Eurovision with her Dancing in the rain, getting that ninth place tied with Denmark. She swore then, for many reasons, that she would not return to Eurovision. But as she says “I also said that she would not be a presenter and look what I do now.”
Yes, Ruth Lorenzo returns to Eurovision in one of the many surprises that the festival will leave this year: the singer will replace the iconic Nieves Álvarez -she had been giving the score for five years- and will be in charge of giving the mythical “twelve points” of the Spanish professional jury.
She is nervous, a lot, but “very excited”. For Ruth Lorenzo, this opportunity, which she did not even have to think about, means returning to Eurovision, “the door that my return to Spain opened for me”, and doing it in the United Kingdom, the country where she became a star before her own. .
There are many differences between Ruth Lorenzo and her predecessor, the model Nieves Álvarez. The first is a hurricane, she is a “dragon”, as she has been nicknamed after her applauded passage through Cover Night, she is “a rebel”, she admits. “You can expect anything from me,” she says, although later she asks that we not tell. She still does not know how she is going to give those 12 points, but she is clear that in a live show, as in this case, “you can do whatever you want”. And Ruth Lorenzo, “always with respect”, will do it.

Removing the illusion of being Spanish, I would love to see Blanca Paloma in a Top 10
