Interest in the contest has been large for a long time, despite the local Andorran broadcaster not showing the contest until recent years (citizens could watch it on [[Spain|Spanish]] and [[France|French]] stations, though). The majority of the songs were sung in [[Catalan language|Catalan]]. Despite the homeland interest in the competition, Andorra has never qualified for the final. In 2007, a qualification for the final was predicted, but with a 12th place they just missed out. == Contestants == {| class="wikitable sortable" |- bgcolor="#ccccff" ! Year ! Artist ! Title !
