ANDORRA – We got the chance to be the first to have a video interview with Susan Georgi, the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest entrant of Andorra and actually the last participant of the country in the contest.
Susanne is fighting the past two years to get Andorra back to Eurovision. The news so far says that RTVA wanted to participate but the government didn’t give the funds for the participation. Susanne says she has found a foreign company and in October she submitted a sponsored proposal for Eurovision 2020.
All the country needed to be sponsorship of 150k Euros and they found it! But since October the government remains silent. But her main argument is for Susanne to help her country to be in the international spotlight, especially since the country by itself has 13 million visitors per year.
Speaking about the proposal, Susanne says there was just a sponsor proposal and despite receiving dozens of emails from artists and authors, there was no decision on whom ghouls represent the country. There is also a debate in which language they will if they re-enter the contest.
Susanne confirmed that EBU is informed about the proposal.
In the case of winning Eurovision, Susan explains that key factors are almost not a problem for them to host the event. Direct flights to Barcelona and Toulouse would help the fans and delegations to arrive in Andorra and there are enough accommodation facilities to host the amount of Eurofans.
The venue would be a problem but a solution could be found. After all, in the past it was cleared that in case the country wins, the event will be hosted in Barcelona, something though Susanne doesn’t really like, as the idea is to promote her country.
Ultimately she shares with us her amazing and heavily made view from her balcony and unveils an untold story from Moscow, although what happens in Moscow stays in Moscow!
