In Nebula He has won the audience’s applause with his impeccable performance, but not the votes and the final result has been fatal. Spain has suffered another setback in the Eurovision Song Contest and has finished in 22nd place with only 30 points for the duo formed by Mery Bas and Mark Dasousa. Last year, Blanca Paloma was 17th with 100 points.
Switzerland has been the winning country with Nemo and the song The Code, with 591 points. Behind them are Croatia (547), Ukraine (453), France (445) and Israel (375). The presence of the latter country had generated great controversy in recent days and a lot of tension regarding the conflict in Gaza.
Spain finished in 22nd place, with 30 points. Only Slovenia, Austria and Norway have been left behind. Nebulossa has not managed to convince the publicsince it has only received 11 televoting points that have come from Finland (3), Portugal (3), France (2), Ireland (2) and Italy (1); but it has not conquered the juries eitherwith 19 points coming from Italy (7), San Marino (6), Austria (4), Switzerland (1) and Finland (1).
The Nebulossa’s performance has been impeccable and has caused a sensation at the Malmö Arena stadium (Sweden). The public has chanted the chorus of The debt and, above all, she has shouted the most anticipated part of the song, when Mery hands the microphone to the audience to sing the most popular phrase of the song: “I’m even more of a slut.” In any case, all of this has been insufficient if we analyze the results of the votes.
“We are happy because what we wanted was for the performance to go well”, Mery Bas told TVE. Regarding Nemo, the winner from Switzerland, she said that “we were betting on him.” “We came off the stage very excited. It was a great moment. We are happy for Nemo,” added Mark Dasousa.
Spain’s bad streak in Eurovision: 55 years without winning
The Nebulossa fiasco at Eurovision adds to the poor record of our country in this festival, with the exception of the third place that Chanel achieved in 2022. The truth is that since Ruth Lorenzo’s tenth place in 2014, Spain has always finished higher than twentieth position. To date, the only triumphs for our country in Eurovision are Massiel (1968) and Salomé (1969). It has been 55 years of drought and agony.
