‘The X-Factor’s Ruth Lorenzo to compete at Eurovision?
By Josh Haggis
Ruth Lorenzo could be heading to Eurovision.
The X Factor legend is one of five acts being considered to represent Spain in this year’s Song Contest, which is being held in Copenhagen on May 10.
Ruth was mentored by Dannii Minogue on the fifth series of The X-Factor in 2008, eventually finishing fifth. Alexandra Burke went on to win the series, which also introduced us to Diana Vickers and JLS (RIP).
Spain’s Eurovision entry will be chosen next month (February) in a televised national selection contest determined 50% by public vote and 50% by expert jury. Ruth will be performing an English-language song called Dancing In The Rain.
Ruth recently wrote a track for Dannii’s Australia-only Best Of collection, which was released last year. She also released a track of her own, titled The Night, that failed to chart.
