Eurovision Chanel, after her third place: "Nothing is written about cowards. We bet on art"
Since 1995 -with
Vuelve conmigo
, by
Anabel Conde-
, Spain has not been able to enter the
Top 5 of
Eurovision
.
A dream that eurofans (and RTVE) had not had since the incredible presentation of
Rosa López,
two decades ago, and that this year, finally, became a reality thanks to the Cuban-Spanish Chanel Terrero (31).
The musical artist who, with
SloMo
, got an ovation of more than 25 seconds, eight "12 points", a total of 459 points and the long-
awaited bronze
in the contest, held in Turin.
"Sorry for wearing glasses. It's just that I'm a picture,
I can't stop crying with emotion.
I don't even know what to say, really. Besides, we're super happy, super proud. I swear we've given absolutely everything. I have nothing more to say than
thank you all, thank you for the support,
for the love, we have felt it. Thank you, thank you, thank you, because this is a dream... And I dedicate it to my family and mine, "he said seconds after the end of the contest.
What's more, Chanel
didn't even take a break
before she started giving interviews.
After leaving the Green Room of the
Pala Alpitour
, the singer gave
a press conference
and then connected, live, with La 1 to talk with characters such as Soraya Arnelas, Daniel Diges and her dance teacher from Olesa de Montserrat.
"I have not seen the performance yet, but the general feeling of those of us who have been on stage is that
we have been able to see everything we have worked on,
that it has been very hard, and that is the best thing that could have happened," Terrero said. , before the cameras.

Later, the interpreter managed to
be with her family
-which, according to her own words, is what she most wanted- to
celebrate a little and rest for a couple of hours.
Just a couple of hours.
Because before three in the afternoon, Chanel had to take a plane to Madrid.
According to official information, Terrero
landed around 5:00 p.m.
and was unable to even have a coffee at the airport.
The reason?
A crowd of people was waiting for her at her exit, in order to be photographed with her or just listen to her speak.
"I'm very good.
This is being incredible. Thanks for waiting for me, guys,
for your emotion. I didn't expect any of this and I'm living the moment... And the result didn't matter. As soon as we got off the stage, we said "It doesn't matter what happens, because we've already won." And I'm taking this experience with me, which is unique. I'm taking it with me to meet a lot of people and
all the love we've received," he
briefly commented in front of dozens of media outlets.

And it is that Chanel did not have time for small talk because in exactly three hours, she had to be
in the
Plaza Mayor
of the capital
fulfilling one of her last Eurovision commitments: a mini-concert, organized by LOS40, within the framework of the celebration of the San Isidro festivities.
As a result, Terrero moved directly from the airport to the center of Madrid, where around 8:30 p.m. he performed
SloMo
, along with his dancers, in addition to giving an emotional speech.
"These moments are the ones that are worth it:
the art, the good vibes, the work,"
she mentioned after seeing the thousands of people who were waiting for her, although with visible exhaustion.
"The truth is that the next step is
to rest and be with our families.
We need a break and breathe," he explained... However, Chanel will only be able to rest one day, because this Tuesday RTVE will hold a "welcome" in Prado del King where the artist will share, in detail, the details of her
victory
.
And at night, at 10:40 p.m., she will perform at
La noche D
, along with Eva Soriano.
