Melody's first words after Eurovision: "Things have been said that aren't true: I haven't kicked anyone out of the dressing room or suffered a family drama."

BarcelonaIt took more than a week, but Melody, Spain's representative at Eurovision, wanted to talk today about her unsuccessful participation in the European song contest. After the Eurovision final, where it was placed in the penultimate position, the Sevillian decided to postpone the traditional press conference held by Spanish representatives and took refuge at home with her family. One of the reasons she gave for her temporary absence was the need to be with her one-year-old son, from whom she has been separated during the intense run-up to Eurovision. "I was very surprised by the commotion that has been generated. There's a lot of talk about work-life balance, and I'm surprised that it wasn't understood that I needed to be home with my baby for a few days. Things have been said that aren't true, like that I had kicked people out of the dressing room or that I've experienced a family drama."

The singer explained that days before Eurovision, she had already told her team and RTVE that she needed a few days off because she was exhausted after making the festival her priority. "I've been hurt by the disparaging comments some of my colleagues have made about me. There have been some programs that have laughed at the fact that I needed to go home to see my son. I don't like the double standard of talking about mental health and then making fun of the fact that I need to be home," she argued, referring to The revolt, a program to which she was invited and which she ended up not attending.

Regarding her result at Eurovision, Melody has confessed that she was a little disappointed with her performance, which she believes could have been more impressive, and has assured that the delegation made decisions that she did not agree with. The swing that she used in the version of her performance at the Benidorm Fest was eliminated

Regarding possible non-artistic causes for her result, she has assured that she prefers not to comment. tacit on public television "For me, the important thing is to respect the spirit of peace of Eurovision. There are certain things that go beyond the artistic sphere that I do not know about and will not talk about. But what I want most in the world is for there to be peace. The rights of people are above all else," Melody has reflected. She added that, by contract, she is not allowed to hold political demonstrations.
