Read full biographyAndorra's decision was La Teva Decisió
Posted 5/Feb 2009 at 16:37 by Rodrigo Romero. Topics: Andorra, First semifinal, La Teva Decisió, Passaport a Moscou, Sussana Georgi
Passaport a Moscou, the Andorran selection process took place yesterday and, well, let's be honest, the show was quite boring, I almost fell asleep more than once, and if you consider that I actually understand Catalan quite well, it can't have been that I had no idea of what they were saying.
Anyway, La Teva Decisió by Sussana Georgi was awarded with the passport to Moscow, winning both the jury vote and the sms vote. I think it was a wise decision by Andorrans (although my personal choice was Passió Obsesiva), it was the most "eurovisive" song of all three, Susanna is lovely, and the tune is quite catchy, which is really needed if one is to succeed in ESC.
I certainly think that with this choice it can finally be the year for Andorra to leave the semifinal. True, with this new system Anonymous might have done the trick, but they competed with the old one and were unlucky. With a good draw in the first semi, they will for sure be in the final this year, and even with a poor draw they still stand a chance... particularly if we remember that in the semifinal it's all about the televote, and Andorra was drawn in the same semifinal as Portugal, and the one where Spain is voting.
So best of lucks to Sussana in Moscow, hope to see Andorra in the final for a change.
