Isabel Maese, contestant of "La Voz España" and winner of "Destino Eurovision" (the selection process for the song of the contest), starts a thrilling adventure in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, to represent her country.
She, self-confident, only thou...
"You are hilarious Isabel and talking about your little self, when did you find out you wanted to be a musician?"
"You know, I grew up with hardly any support for my passion for music in my family environment, until I met my high school drama and music teacher who inspired me to fight for my passion. Then I started working getting the dogs out of my neighbors when I was 12 and years later I got a job waitressing in a neighborhood bar, that's how I got my first electric guitar and and thanks to Youtube I learned how to play it because I didn't have enough money for guitar lessons."
"And on this trip you're not going alone, are you?" "In this journey I will be accompanied by my friends and colleagues: Hugo, Elias and Damiano. I met the first two on The Voice, Hugo was a contestant, and Elias was the drummer in the band on the show. Damiano and I met because of Laura. He has been on several of his tours as a guitarist and choir and we became friends after spending so much time together. They're like my brothers, although sometimes I feel like I'm their mother because I have to keep an eye on them from time to time."
"Well, how about we let the audience hear your song and then we answer some of the questions we've been left on twitter through the hastag #AskIsabel" "Cool"

"First question, what inspired you to write "Fighter"?" I sat in the chair while I thought how to answer the question, because right now I have a thousand thoughts in my head. "As I said in "Operacion Eurovision" I had a pretty hard time a year ago, despite having been my start towards the music industry, I lost people I love because of the decisions I made about my future, and I thought the feeling was mutual but I was wrong." I shrug my shoulders in the face of indifference "But now I know that's not my problem, the decisions they've made are not my responsibility and neither my fault."
"Since I can remember I've had problems with my self-esteem and this issue got worse in high school: I saw that my girls classmates were growing and I did not, comments were made about my body, in the end I ended up with depression and social anxiety. But thankfully I was able to afford to go to therapy, because unfortunately you are lucky if you can afford to go. And now, at 21, I feel like I love myself for the first time. " I try to contain my tears
"Is this the story behind your song "21"?" I nod "I've always put everyone's well-being before mine, and it almost destroyed me in the end." I feel some tears fall down my cheeks but I dry them quickly. Manuel give me a box of tissues and I see that he is crying too "I'm sorry, I'm very sensitive" i said.
"You don't have to apologize, in fact I thank you for being so open with your mental health, unfortunately it is a tabu these days and it is necessary to talk about it. Now let's move on to another question so we're not so gloomy, that I want you to keep telling me funny stories. What's your favorite eurovision song this year?" "Only one? I like lots of them! I listen at least once a day to the song of Croatia and Chyprus, i'm a big fan of Portugal's song with such a romantic ballad that makes me so corny, I love the message of Russia and like every year I adore Azerbajan because they use their traditional instruments and modernize it."
"Have you heard the song of Finland?" "Obviously I did! The guys and I got together at Damiano's house the other day to listen the songs of the other countries and you should have seen our faces when his song played. I'm really looking forward to seeing their live performance. And also as with Norway, they have a song with a strong message and I love that about them"
"Some people are concerned that there is another rock song at the festival, what do you think?" "On the contrary, I'm glad to see more and more non-mainstream songs at the festival. I don't know if I'll have time to meet them, but I hope so, they look like very cool guys."
"Have you ever been in the Netherlands?" "Yes, I went on a trip to celebrate the end of the high school, we spent two days in Amsterdam, and now I want to know the beautiful city of Rotterdam"
"There's a question that repeats itself multiple times and it's: are you single?" I laugh loudly "wow, how curious they are! in case anyone is interested, yes, I'm single, thanks for reminding me"
