"A fresh and elegant performance"

Andorra: Gisela's choreography available online

The regional Catalan broadcaster, TV3, has aired the rehearsals of Gisela's choreography on the programme Vull escoltar que tu m'estimes, devoted to Andorran preparations for this year's Eurovision in Belgrade. José Cruz, Andorra's choreographer, stated that he wants to make up a "fresh and elegant performance".

One month before the Eurovision week, Gisela, the Andorran representative this year is currently busy preparing her perfomance for Belgrade. Some days ago, Catalan and Andorran viewers could watch her rehearsing the choreography of Casanova on the programme Vull escoltar que tu m'estimes, aired on the Catalan channel TV3.

José Cruz, Andorra's choreographer, declared that he has designed a "fresh and elegant performance" and added that they have very good ideas in mind. The best of them will be implemented in the choreography to make it meet the Eurovision style, just like the song Casanova does.

Gisela also spoke to TV3. In a short interview, the Barcelona-born singer said that when she was offered to represent Andorra in Eurovision, the first thing she thought was: "Is this true? It is a joke!". Later, and after the initial shock, she felt it was a very important role to play because she was going to represent a country. Asked about her opinion on Eurovision, Gisela stated that "it is a very important and professional contest, where the best European artists gather together". Gisela finally added that she is set to represent Andorra on the Belgrade stage and all the people who have worked hard and supported the Casanova project.

Oh but please... are there no rules for how kitsch the choreography may be?

I hope that goes to final because your song is very good and you a great singer. Andorra 12 points ...

@Jota Perez

I saw that video you gave and I liked that song more than Casanova. Surely she can do better but that choreography reminded me of TURKEY 2003!

GL TO ANDORRA & MALTA :)

@ Matthew - potential winner ? I fear this weak song will not even qualify. Gisela can do much better, just remember her version of " tu voz.."

This song buzzes round in my head all the time. The songs that stick are more likely to be remembered and voted for. GOOD LUCK ANDORRA.

to Let there be Hope:

I couldn't agree more! :) Check Gisela's performance last year in Spanish ESC preselection with a bunch of male dancers! url=http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=UopH_DIjDkQ]http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=UopH_DIjDkQ/url]
Fantastic!

Good luck Gisela and Andorra!
You deserve to be in the final, but after what they did last year to Andorra, it might be difficult.
Still, just go and enjoy the show! You are representing Andorra with dignity and class.
Not like other countries close to Andorra!!!

There is something about this song that everybody is overlooking and it is a vital part of a eurovision song . . . . . . . . its catchy!!! Its the sort of song where the tune sticks in your head for ages and that is essential for a eurovision song, so we could see this doing alot better than most people think . . . . . . . :)

I agree with you, Florian. My fav Andorran entry ever is the first one: "Jugarem a estimar-nos" by Marta Roure. "Casanova" is nothing special. It must be the name, because the other "Casanova" (Norway 1977) was not very interesting either :P

Nice song I like it and I think it deserves to go in the FINAL :)

By now, I feel rather annoyed by this song- nothing special, probably the worst Andorran entry ever because before "Casanova", I have liked each entry of Andorra, especially the great ethno- song from 2005, "La Mirada Interior"! What a shame Marian Van de Wal didn't qualify!

Hope Andorra finally makes it to the final. Gisela is a very charismatic performer, what could earn extra points for this catchy song.

I don't know why, but I LOVE it. It really is nothing special if you consider the song, but I find myself singing it all the time. Andorra will sing in the first semi between Ireland and Bosnia, I think it is a good position for this song to be noticed. Good luck Andorra, small but lovely country!

I like it, simple pop song, I hope it ends up top 10!! :)
Andorra put in a great song in 2007 and didn't qualify which was a great shame, so Andorra le vella 2009!!! :)

Good luck to Andorra from the UK ! :L ! :D :) ! :P ! :O ! :L

Hmm.... Andorra with a wannabe-schlager. lol :D been here, done that. No final.

Not even in such a weak semi.
I'm really disappointed in Gisela, I expected something stronger, MUCH stronger.


Fabio Deluca [37739]

I don't count with this song in the final. Second-hand schlager.
