Ven a bailar conmigo
"Ven a bailar conmigo" (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈben a βajˈlaɾ komˈmiɣo]; English: "Come dance with me"; Norwegian: "Kom og dans med meg" [ˈkɔmː ɔ ˈdɑns mɛ ˌmæɪ]) is a song by Guri Schanke. It represented Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 after winning the Melodi Grand Prix 2007.
The song is a Latin-inspired number. Schanke sings about how much she loves to dance and urges her unnamed listener (in Spanish) to "come dance with [her]". BBC commentary during the contest explained that Schanke had participated in a reality-television show with a dancing theme, thus explaining the lyrics.
The song was written and composed by Thomas G:son, who also contributed the Spanish entry in the same contest, "I Love You Mi Vida". This represents one of a very small number of contests where the same writer has represented two countries at once.
Schanke won the Norwegian semi-final of Melodi Grand Prix 2007 (the Norwegian national selection) on 27 January, and "Ven a bailar conmigo" soon became a hit in gay bars in Oslo, to which her response was "Fantastic! I love it!". Schanke performed the song in the Norwegian national final (on 10 February 2007), in the English language; however, the title of the song is in Spanish and means 'come dance with me'. It scored shared second place by the judges, but was a runaway winner for viewers, receiving almost 95,000 televotes.
The Norwegian entry's stage performance bore several similarities to that of "Tango! Tango!", another Latino song by Thomas G:son, performed by Petra Nielsen at the Swedish Melodifestivalen 2004:
As Norway had not finished the previous contest in the top ten, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here, it was performed nineteenth, following Macedonia's Karolina with "Mojot svet" and preceding Malta's Olivia Lewis with "Vertigo". At the close of voting, it had received 48 points, placing 18th in a field of 28 and failing to qualify Norway for the final.
Schanke has not yet[as of?] released a single, but the song entered as number 1 on the Norwegian radio program Norsktoppen (on air since 1973), a weekly ranking of national pop songs based on a jury and the listener's suggestions.
A music critic in the Swedish tabloid newspaper Expressen wrote that Schanke's performance "glow[ed] like a black hole", and that Norway's entry to Eurovision 2007 was among the worst contributions in that year's upcoming contest. He gave his only top score of that year's contestants to the Swedish The Ark with "The Worrying Kind".
