Andorra May Not Be In Russia!!!!

By -


And I for one will be extremely disappointed if they are not there!!!!

The reason apparently is that the Andorran TV Station RTVA will not make a definate decision following another non qualification from the semi final this year in Belgrade.

Andorra are one of the few who have never qualified from the semi final to the final of Eurovision, but came very close in Helsinki when they scored their highest placing of 12th.

Andorra have been in Eurovision since 2004 when the semi finals were first introduced and after a not very auspicious start seemed to be making headway and sending better songs.

2004 Marta Roure - Jugarem A Estimar-Nos 18th place with 12pts
2005 Marian van de Wal - La Mirada Interior 23rd place with 27pts
2006 Jenny - Sense Tu 23rd place with 8pts
2007 Anonymous - Salvem el món 12th place with 80pts
2008 Gisela - Casanova 16th place (semi final 2) with 22pts

I do so hope that RTVA stay positive about the Andorran participation in Eurovision, I mean 5 years isnt that long really when you consider how many years it took for Finland to win, and Portugal, Cyprus and Iceland have not given up yet and they are all still waiting for their first victories in the contest.

So come on RTVA don't disappoint, stick with it and send something fantastic to Russia and hopefully you will qualify.

Well another year's contest is over and I'm now back at home. So what are my thoughts on the contest? There are two things that stand out this year.... 1. Belgrade's/Serbia's apathy towards the contest, and 2. The results (as always!) So let's look at them in turn.... 1. After the recent elections, it appears that Serbians are keen to join the EU and after many years of troubles, which I will not go into, I would have thought that hosting the Eurovision would have been an excellent way to show what they are capable of. However, in the city itself, you would have been hard pressed to actually know that the contest was taking place! For most of the week, the only thing you could see with regards to the Eurovision was that a few shops were cashing in on the merchandise, a single information stall in one of the squares and I saw one advertisment for the Azerbaijan entry (there may have been more). So why did they not take up the opportunity? Was it that after the rec

So Terry Wogan has finally retired having damaged the reputation of the Eurovision Song Contest in the UK for far too many years. So, considering that the UK seem to be trying to take the pre -selection a bit more seriously by having Lord Andrew Lloyd- Webber help, who do they decide to take over? GRAHAM NORTON!! WHY?! For one, Graham Norton has no experience at commentating. Two, I doubt Graham Norton has any experience of being serious! So we'll be subjected to more poor jokes, tasteless innuendos as the BBC moves the commentating more away from the music. How can Terry Wogan complain about the contest moving away from being a Music contest, when the BBC has failed to treat it as such for so long! So here's to many more years of Eurovision being a total joke in the UK!
