EUROVISION 2018 PREVIEW

16.

SPAIN

TU CANCION

Amaia & Alfred

As one of the "Big 5" nations, Spain has pre-qualified for the Grand Final. This year, it will be represented by a duet performed in Spanish by Amaia and Alfred.

 It is inoffensive and sweet, but lacks any excitement. "Tu Cancion" is unlikely to give Spain its third win at Eurovision. Spain's most recent victory was in 1969 (as part of a 4-way tie).
