Rosa(V)

Rosa López represented Spain at the 2002 Eurovision Song-festival (held in Tallinn) with the song 'Europe's Living A Celebration'. Since the program 'Operación Triunfo' was broadcast on channel TVE, Rosa has impressed the hearts of Spain with her exceptional voice, her openness and humility.

Rosa has turned into the first Cinderella of the 21st century. She comes from a humble family from Granada, dedicated to the work of the house. She only left the house during the weekends, accompanied by her father, to sing at weddings and baptisms in the villages of the Alpujarra region. That is how her life has passed by since she was twelve years old. At the age of twenty-one and with a weight of 110 kilos, she decided to change her life radically and she entered the casting of 'Operación Triunfo'.

From the first moment, her wonderful voice caused a profound impact on the team members. Rosa was a rough diamond. But, behind this talent, there was a shy and insecure girl, with a complex about her body, serious difficulties to express herself and with a very low level of self-esteem. In spite of everything, Rosa managed to better herself. She joined the Academy of 'Operación Triunfo', ready to give it a try, and all her efforts have been rewarded.

With an iron will she fought against her overweight (she lost more than 27 kilos). She overcame the experience of living far from her family and learned to take her own decisions. She worked very hard during the singing classes, to eliminate the habits that are common of a self-taught person. All in all, at the Academy of 'Operación Triunfo' Rosa started a learning and refinement process that, without any doubt, will make her turn into an international artist of high quality.
