Last year saw Andorra's most successful entry in the Eurovision Song Contest since their debut in 2004.  Anonymous gained 12th place in the Semi-Final with 'Salvem El Mon', but before that their entries tended to languish in the 'deeper' realms of the scoreboard.

 

 

Andorra have been one of my favourite participants from they started playing Eurovision in 2004, and each year they’ve had a great song which has always lacked a good performance, hence failure to qualify.  Last year however, they mustered up their best position yet, coming 12^th in the Semi-Final – quite an achievement for such a small country, and coming second of all the western participants must have been some consolation.  This year, while not everyone likes the entry, I think Andorra have done well, selecting an experienced performer with a great, upbeat, happy go luck pop song – totally inoffensive, and if you like pop music, it’s wonderfully catchy.  I really like it, and would surely think that given a good performance on the night, Andorra may just see themselves in the Final, making the new system very worthwhile.

 

 

It's great to see Andorra sending a really credible artist from Spain.  Some may think the song is tripe, but I reckon it's very easy to like and remember on first listen, so I think Andorra are in with a strong chance of qualification, especially due to their appearance in the first Semi-Final.  Once in the Final however, I doubt it's strong enough to make an impression or impact on the voting public.  I reckon 17th - 19th, but it could notch up nothing at all if it makes the Final.  I like it, and hope it does well, but it will really depend on a strong vocal from Gisela.

 

 

A prediction will appear here when all 25 songs in the Grand Final are known.
