The World of Eurovision

Andorra save the world!

Well, not quite. However, cheeky little Andorra (© Paddy O’Connell) have announced that their entry is indeed called Save The World, or Salvem A Mon in Catalan. The song has not been placed on the net yet but I’m looking forward to hearing it as it’s performed by a three-piece punk band who take their influences from Blink 182 and Sum 41. Rocking.

Their name in Anonymous, which is odd as the band who represented the now defunct Serbia & Montenegro in 2005 were similarly called No Name. However, whereas No Name were a six-piece boy band who enjoyed jumping around and banging drums, Anonymous like jumping around with guitars and banging their heads (head-banging, that is). Anonymous are three guys, 18-19 years old and are quite popular amongst teens in Andorra and Spain. Sound more like Busted to me.

It will be their job to not only save the world, but to save Andorra’s Eurovision reputation. This will be their fourth entry following three very unsuccessful semi-final appearances. Last year, the voluptuous Jenny, who did some business on stage with some lingerie and a chair, finished bottom of the semi-final pile – the shame! And after three fairly bland songs, it seems that Anonymous may stir things up a bit for Andorra. Could they possibly even qualify for the final? What a thought… let’s hope the song’s out soon!
