Re: SPAIN 2012
Our partner website eurovision-spain ran a special poll in order to find out who would be the favourite and ideal artist to represent Spain at the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Baku. For the 2nd year running Chenoa is the hot favourite to represent Spain at Europe's favourite television show. Chenoa shot to fame in Spain back in 2001 when she competed in the first edition of Operacion Triunfo.
Since her Operacion Triunfo days the Spanish artist has come a long way, enjoying much success and fame on home soil. She is among most sought after and celebrated young artists in Spain today. Eurovision fans will be familiar with Chenoa as she was one of he finalists in the first edition of Operacion Triunfo along with David Bustamante, David Bisbal, Rosa. If she goes to Eurovision it won't be the first time she graces the Eurovision stage as in 2002 she was one of the backing vocalists for Rosa in Tallinn at the 2002 Eurovision Song Contest.
