Yurena caused quite the stir during her surprise appearance at the Benidorm Fest 2025, dazzling fans and attendees alike at the festival with her infectious enthusiasm. The pop singer, who shot to fame with her hit "No Cambié" back in the early 2000s, expressed her excitement and joy during her walk on the festival's red carpet, stating, "I'm super excited and very happy to attend the final of the contest."
During her interview with the outlet 20minutos, the vibrant artist, who is also known as Tamara and Ámbar, reflected on her impressive 35-year singing career, saying, "I've never presented any songs at the Benidorm Fest, but I wouldn't rule it out." The singer acknowledged the encouragement she has received from fans over the years to participate. "There are many people who have been telling me for several years to enter... I never considered it before, but since I'm someone who loves challenges, as well as being an artist, I would never dismiss the idea. It's all worth considering," she added.
Initially, Yurena was at the Benidorm Calling event, which served as the prelude to the week’s main attraction, and where she stole the show once again. The moment she shared the stage with Lalachus, who is known for her collaborations with David Broncano, was one for the books. Just minutes before stepping onto the grand finale stage, the atmosphere was electric with anticipation. Nervous yet excited, she was greeted by roaring applause as her name was chanted by the audience.
After walking onto the stage, Yurena greeted the crowd, saying, "First of all, I want to say good evening to all of you. I’m on cloud nine right now!" She expressed her disbelief at being invited to perform, stating, "I knew I was coming to the final as a guest, but I never suspected I’d be on the Benidorm Fest stage. Thank you, thank you. This is unforgettable. Maybe I’ll participate!"
The crowd erupted with cheers of "Yurena to Eurovision!" as she entertained the audience by singing "Around the World" acapella, leaving no doubt about her charisma. Despite her past relationship with competition, where she has yet to take part herself, the energy seemed to suggest the audience would love to see more of her. Fans rejoiced and wondered if Yurena might take the plunge and submit her candidacy for Eurovisión.
It's not just her singing prowess drawing attention; Yurena's recent involvement with the popular show Bake Off has showcased her versatility as she bravely took on baking challenges. Reflecting on this experience, she admitted, "I had no idea about baking, but since I’m someone who embraces challenges, I faced it head-on, and here I am, competing." The show has kept her engaged, and she mentioned she has been enjoying it thoroughly, stating, "I’m not missing any episodes, I’ve had so much fun with it, and it’s going to be completely memorable for me. I’m super grateful to TVE for giving me this opportunity."
Whether Yurena will grace the stage of future competitions remains uncertain, but her unexpected entrance certainly delighted fans at the Benidorm Fest 2025. With her dynamic personality and vocal talent, the festival has undoubtedly rekindled hopes among her supporters for more to come from this iconic artist. After all, as she reminded everyone, "everything is possible!"
With her blend of nostalgia and present-day enthusiasm, Yurena's surprising cameo breathes fresh air and excitement throughout the Benidorm Fest community, leaving many to wonder what the future holds for this beloved singer.
