RTVE has just revealed that they will be running a national selection to select entrant for Eurovision 2016!
The Spanish broadcaster will use the same method which gave them a top 10 place back in 2014, when Ruth Lorenzo was competing with other 4 candidates to represent Spain in Copenhagen. TVE has been lately receiving different proposals from record labels, such as Warner or Sony Music, considering an internal selection, but they have finally opted for an external procedure with the artist being chosen from a live show.
TVE has confirmed that there will be 6 acts competing at a national final whose details will be revealed in due course. The broadcaster is asking fans for possible candidates under the hashtag: #euroapuesta which can be used either on Twitter or Facebook.
Among the possible names, the Spanish media report the following artists:
- MarĆa Isabel (Junior Eurovision 2004)
- Maverick (The Voice 2015 finalist)
- Xuso Jones
- RaĆŗl GĆ³mez
- Lorena GĆ³mez (National selection for Eurovision 2010)
- Mirela (National selection for Junior Eurovision 2004, Eurovision 2007, 2008 and 2009)
