History (1956 to 2006)

Andorra's previous appearances: 3 year(s) out of 51 [note]
Years participated: 2004- [note]
Best result: 18th in Semi (2004)

A tiny principality tucked between France and Spain in the Pyrenees, Andorra made its first ever appearance at Eurovision in 2004. As a new entrant, Andorra had to participate in the Semi Final; unfortunately, Marta Roure feel well short, only mustering 18th place in the Semi Final for her song 'Jugarem a estimar-nos'. Indeed, had it not been for 12 points from Spain, Andorra would have had the ignominy of scoring nothing at all.

Nevertheless, Andorra came back for another go in 2005, this time aiming to secure points from the Netherlands as well by sending the Dutch-born singer, Marian van de Wal. Her song, 'La mirada interieur', was very good, and benefited from a strong performance, but it was still not enough to secure more than 27 points and 23rd place, despite predictable support from the Spanish and Dutch televoters. Normal service resumed in 2006, with Jenny's 'Sense tu' managing to pick up 8 points from Spain but nothing from anybody else. After a dismal record so far, but plenty of plucky enthusiam, Andorra will assume its customary place in the 2007 Semi Final.

This year's entry

Position in Semi Final draw: 21
Position in Final draw: Failed to qualify

What I said prior to the Semi Final:
"Andorra once again opted for an internal selection in 2007, but in a change from past years has gone for a band rather than a female soloist, even allowing some English to creep into its entry. Andorran hopes will therefore rest on rock-punk band Anonymous in 2007, with the self-composed song 'Salvem a mon/Let's ave the world'. The song's rather good - imagine Busted singing in Catalan and you get the idea."

What I predicted...

My prediction for Semi Final: 10th to 12th
My prediction for Final: Possible qualifier
What I predicted prior to the Semi Final:
"This song surely represents Andorra's best chance so far of making it beyond the Semi Final. It's catchy, and different enough from anything else in the Semi Final to stand out. It also has a reasonable draw: towards the end of the running order and sandwiched between contrasting entries from Malta and Hungary. If the boys can pull off a good performance - something that has escaped most Andorran entrants to date - this really does have a chance of making it into the Final. I think it will be entirely dependent on the strength (or not) of the performance, though."
