She made the national final on the 2009 pre-selection for Spain with the song Nada Es Comparable A Ti (No One Compares To You).[6] She first performed her song on the semi final on February 28, 2009. She came in second in that semi final. She performed it for a second time in the final, and ended up finishing fourth place overall. It was the most successful ballad to enter that year.[7] Despite finishing fourth in the Spanish national final, Mirela won her chance to represent Spain in the OGAE Second Chance Contest 2009 With 880 votes, beating Melody, Isi & Santa Fe, the next highest vote getters. This is the second time Mirela represented Spain in this contest, previously in 2007 with La Reina de la Noche.
