In a week’s time the first semi-final of the Benidorm Fest will be held at the La Illa Sports Palace in Benidorm and the fight to represent Spain in Eurovision 2024 will begin.
Quique Niza, Almácor, Noan, Nebulossa, Angy Fernández, Miss Caffeína, st. Pedro, Sofía Coll, Roger Padrós, Yoly Saa, Dellacruz, Lérica, María Peláe, Jorge González, Marlena and Mantra will fight to win in the Alicante city with different songs that have already gone viral in our country.
Over the last few weeks, the contestants of the RTVE program have been carrying out different interviews and public appearances to promote their topics and try to convince the public with their speeches, sympathies and personalities.
A program that has received the vast majority of applicants is La red room. This Podimo space is presented by the content creator Malbert, who takes the opportunity to ask all kinds of challenging questions to the guests in a tone of black humor that thousands of viewers fall in love with.
One of the latest artists to visit the digital creator’s program has been Jorge González. The former contestant of Your face sounds to me has been very excited about his participation in the Benidorm Fest 2024 and has explained that he has everything ready to perform next February 1 in the second semi-final of the contest.
This is not the first time that González has tried to go to Eurovision, since he already tried his luck without success in 2009 and 2014. Reviewing his career with Malbert, González boasted of having participated in other television formats such as Operación Triunfo or La Voz y He admitted that he did not feel “important” in the show that Eva González now presents on Antena 3.
The singer did not want to miss the opportunity to remember one of his most fun professional experiences: when he worked on weekends on What a Happy Time!, a Telecinco program that María Teresa Campos presented for many years.
Although he remembers it fondly, González has confessed something that they discussed behind the scenes: ”There was a moment in the program when a guest who came, a guest who died. This happened (…) It was strange. There were three or four… The joke was that no one wanted to come anymore.” Faced with this confession, Malbert responded with humor and told him that he was not surprised, since the average age of the guests matched the average life expectancy of Spaniards.
