Tuomo writes: Andorra, one the smallest countries in Europe squashed between France and Spain in the the Pyrenee Mountains, is also one of the most recent newbies: only three times with unfortunately not much success. Could it be because the Andorran entries have been performed in a language that is the most widely spoken minority language, i.e. Catalonian (
douze points from me for this feat!) or that Andorra hasn't got much votes elsewhere than from Spain? So this year Andorra introduces Gisela and
Casanova:

It seems that Andorrans have decided that promoting Catalonian langauge and culture is not the key to Eurovision success: a boo and a hiss for that :-(
As for musical merits, I have to admit I liked it. Your typical run-of-the-mill Euro pop bang that left me energised. The boobs notwithstanding this entry should guarantee a place in the finals for Andorra assuming the live performance is as energised and engaging - or at the least their highest placing to date. Bona sort, mes amics!

Hmm, strange. In a weird way I liked this song. Although Andorra is clearly copying the Swedish recipe for success. Anyway, Gisela looked much fresher than Ms Komodo Dragon in her golden frock. I agree, Tuomo, that it's a great shame not to sing in your national language. What's wrong with Catalonian? Well, what's wrong with Finnish..not counting this year's embarrassing song, that is..
