Andorra in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008

The Andorran participating broadcaster, Ràdio i Televisió d'Andorra (RTVA), internally selected its entry for the contest.

[1] To this point, it had yet to feature in a final, with its best result being in 2007 with the song "Salvem el món" performed by Anonymous which placed twelfth out of the 28 entries in the semi-final, while their worst result was achieved in 2006 where it placed twenty-third (last) out of the 23 entries in the semi-final with the song "Sense tu" by Jenny.

On 6 November 2007, Andorran newspaper Diari d' Andorra reported that Spanish singer Gisela, who previously participated in the first season of the Spanish reality television talent show Operación Triunfo placing eighth, had been selected to represent Andorra in Belgrade after the broadcaster approached her record company Filmax Music.

[2] While the singer's management initially stated that an agreement had yet to be made, Gisela was confirmed by RTVA as the Andorran entrant on 7 December 2007.

[14] According to the rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top nine songs from each semi-final as determined by televoting progress to the final, and a tenth was determined by back-up juries.

[16] The two semi-finals and the final were broadcast in Andorra on ATV with commentary by Meri Picart and Josep Lluís Trabal.

[18] The Andorran performance featured Gisela dressed in a metallic outfit and headdress, joined on stage by four dancers which also provided backing vocals.

[24] At the end of the show, Andorra was not announced among the top 10 entries in the first semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final.
