This Tuesday the list of artists selected for the Benidorm Fest was revealed, the event that will decide who will represent Spain in Eurovision. However, One of the absent names that has caused the most talk has been that of Victor Sandovalwho had applied with Abyss. The exclusion of the collaborator has caused a stir, especially after the statements of journalist Juanma Fernández on his program Not even if we werewho already anticipated the absence of Sandoval and Marta Riesco in the final list, despite the fact that Sandoval refused to believe it.
The news has led Sandoval to comment on the matter through a video call in which He has not hidden his disappointment and has expressed his point of view. In his words, he has not hidden his disappointment, because “like Víctor Sandoval the singer” he admitted: “It really screwed me up that they didn’t choose me.”
Despite the displeasure, the tertullian has expressed his enthusiasm for the presence of certain singers. “I like that Sonia and Selena, Melody and Kindom are in it,” he declared.
However, Sandoval wanted to make it clear that does not intend to question the decisions made. “As a Eurofan, I am going to follow everything as I have always followed. I am not going to question the jury because that is what the jury is for,” he explained.
Despite his frustration, the artist seems to have found a new motivation. With a touch of humor, he stated: “I’m annoyed? Well yes (…) I said I was never going to run again and now I’m going to run every year. Even if I’m 90 years old I’m going to be there.”
His scuffle with Marta Riesco
After hearing his words, fellow candidate Marta Riesco did not take long to express her anger and He has harshly criticized his partner. Visibly upset, Riesco has accused Sandoval of underestimating her effort and work: “The only thing he has done is undervalue my song.” Given this statement, Sandoval has described it as “yoist.”
Risky, however, has continued to defend his position, remembering the negative comments which, he assures, Sandoval has directed towards his work. “Every time he could he said that my song was the worst,” he said. “Great artists and composers from this country have composed the song for him. We did it in one night in favor of the program. In the end the result has been exactly the same, yours, Víctor, and mine. I just think you should to be more humble and a better companion,” he added.
For his part, Sandoval has responded with a sincerity that has left no room for doubt about his change of attitude and showing his most ambitious side: “I have already put humility in a drawer this season, because I want to succeed now in 2025, and I see that by self-flagellation I get nowhere.”
Sandoval too has reflected on the support of the public, which he considers key to his success. “Do you know what has made me change the most? People […] I’m not in it because obviously it’s professionals who choose it, but if the people had chosen it I would be in it, although I wouldn’t have gone to Eurovision, but I was in it. Because they liked the song […] And that for me is a triumph,” he declared.
