Andorra in The Eurovision Song Contest 2009 - at Eurovision

At Eurovision

Since Andorra did not win the 2008 contest, it will have to compete in one of the two semi-finals. Andorra will have to compete in the first semi-final of the contest on 12 May, where Susanna will perform 7th in the running order, following Armenia and preceding Switzerland.

RTVA has revealed that they were unhappy with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)'s decision to allow Spain to switch semi-finals for their voting. Having originally been drawn to vote in the first semi-final, the same semi-final as Andorra, TVE asked the EBU to switch semi-finals to allow for promotion of Eurovision itself. RTVA has announced their disappointment on this decision, as RTVA believes that, without Spain voting, Andorra's chances of qualifying will be lower. There was also a feeling that the amount of promotion done in Spain was to no avail.

At Eurovision, Susanna has revealed that she will be accompanied on stage by four backing singers. She has also explically stated that she will not use backing dancers, as opposed the Spanish entry Soraya, as her performance does not require such resources to improve her performance.
