No quiero escuchar


"No quiero escuchar" is a song recorded by Spanish singer Lydia. The song was written by Fernando Rodríguez Fernández, Alejandro Piqueras Ramírez, Carlos López González and Adolfo Carmona Zamarreño. It is best known as the Spanish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1999 held in Jerusalem.

Eurovision

For her Eurovision appearance, 19-year-old Lydia wore a much-maligned dress designed by Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada, made up of vertical stripes in the colours of the rainbow. By contrast, her four backing singers were dressed entirely in black.
The song was performed 3rd, following Belgium's Vanessa Chinitor with "Like The Wind" and preceding Croatia's Doris Dragović with "Marija Magdalena", and finished 23rd, with only one point, awarded by Croatia. Spain did not have to sit out next year's contest, however, because, along with the UK, France and Germany, they were one of the four greatest contributors to the Contest. Thus, the song was succeeded as Spanish entry at the 2000 Contest by Serafín Zubiri singing "Colgado de un sueño".
