Andorra’s long-term absence from participating in the Eurovision Song Contest is set to continue into 2021, according to Eurofestivales.

Happy April Fools Day everyone! tonight I will be breaking my analytical silence to dissect the chances of Eurovision’s most hapless country. A country so small they constantly recycle their own refuse… and everyone else’s! A country that nobody expects to own, except they did last year, randomly. A country which leaves few people indifferent. It is of course, STAN …

It’s not very often that American audiences get to meet the voice actors and singers from around the world for an animated character, but the Oscars decided to make that happen last night.

It’s been less than a week since Austria’s victory at the Eurovision Song Contest and (unfortunately) we already have our first “No” of the 2015 season. Andorra, the small country between France and Spain, is not returning next year. RTVA confirmed the non-participation which does not come as a maj0r surprise. Andorra first participation was in 2004 and the last time …

Nestled in the Pyrenees mountains, Andorra made its debut in the contest in 2004. The tiny state participated five times (2004 – 2009) with a wide variety of music styles. Back in 2004, they chose Marta Roure with the song “Jugarem a Estimar-nos” (We will play we’re loving each other).
