• Nervios Blas sang about Eurovision: "It has been a painful year. It will be difficult for me to contain the emotion and not cry"

  • Redes Blas Cantó leaves Twitter after the harassment received from some Eurovision fans: "It is to be very mean"

At around 8 p.m. this Wednesday,

Blas Cantó

(29) finally got to know the Ahoy Arena in Rotterdam. The Murcian rehearsed for the first time

I'm going to stay

, the song chosen to

represent Spain in Eurovision 2021,

and -after two tests- he declared he was

satisfied

with his work. Despite this, the interpreter also had to admit that

he is not having a good time.

In fact, he announced that, at times, he would not like to have to face the

Euroscenario

, in which he will perform

a tribute to his grandmother,

the "most important" person in his life, who

died in December, because of the Covid .

"I am happy. I feel very good because I manage to tell my story. But

it is not easy for me to sing this song.

It is very hard. I have to admit that if I think a lot about the story behind the song I would be crying all the time. And I prefer think about the people who are still with us. I do my best for them, "Cantó said at the press conference, without avoiding getting emotional. However, and with great courage, the Spaniard managed to hold back the tears ... Until a journalist asked him, directly, why he chose a scenography that emulates the sky.

"There is a phrase in the song in which I say 'I have lowered the sky to discover what is hidden in your eyes' and in the English version it says' I look at the sky only to realize that the most precious thing I wanted was lying in front of in my eyes. 'And what he wanted to say is' I'm doing everything I can to make you okay ... And if I have to lower the sky here, for you, I will.' And it's amazing, because

that's what I promised [to my grandmother], at that moment, "he

explained with a broken voice and a nostalgia that escaped his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he

said before leaning back on the table to breathe for a few seconds.

"In a way, this is beautiful. Because

she is above, in heaven

and now, with this scenario, I am also in heaven and

I feel her with me

... [Her death] It has been the most difficult moment of my life. And, to be honest, it is so difficult to be here. Many times I have told my team

"I don't want to be here, I want to be at home, with my family, I don't want to lose anyone else."

But I have to. .. For her, for everyone. Because life goes on and things happen. And I'm sorry, I'm sentimental.

I'm crying all the time,

but I don't want to cry in this scenario, because it's the time of my life, "he said before a crowd that never tired of applauding his courage.

After the press conference, La Otra Crónica came to talk with Cantó to check his state of mind.

The singer acknowledged

"being very excited",

but also assured that he is "trying to control" his feelings so as not to suffer any mishap during his presentation.

In the same way, Blas confessed to LOC that, although it hurts him, he will always be honest with the subject of his grandmother, because

grief is nothing but his "reality."

"It is what I have to live and I try to do the best I can at this moment, even though inside I am in pieces," he said.
