The song
La teva decisió is a mid-tempo pop song. In a very optimistic the singer tells that she does not want to give up a releationship although she has been told by her lover to get a life:
És el moment de corregir // It is the moment to emend
L'adéu serà com un sospir // The farewell will be like a sigh
Confio a què l'endemà // I believe that tomorrow
L'amor tornarà a mi // Love will turn to me
You've got to get a life
That's what you say to me
But I would rather die
If you're not in it with me
The singer
With her sister Pernille, Susanne Georgi founded the duo SuPer Sisters in the early 1990s. They intended to represent their home country in the Eurovision Song Contest 1991, but that was not possible as Susanne was only 15 years at that time. Their song Med eksprestog til Kina eventually finished second in the national final performed by Ole Bredahl & Ulla Bjerre. Havin released two albums in Danish, they changed their name to Me & My and started recording songs in English.
The duo was very successful in Europe. Between 1995 and 2007, they released three studio albums and a best of compilation as wells as a series of singles. Their biggest hit to date is probably the Eurodance song Dub-i-dub, which reached the charts all over Europe and was a top ten hit in many countries. In 2007, they entered the Danish national final for the Eurovision Song Contest and finished sixth with eight points.
Susanne Georgi has been living in Andorra for 13 years and hence she decided to enter the Andorran national final for the Eurovision Song Contest with the song La teva decisió, which was co-written by her and her sister, and she could win the selection. To date, she has released three studio albums as a soloist: Sweet, Susanne and Tum dek dak.
The national selection
After three consecutive internal selections, the Andorran broadcaster decided to go for a televised national final again. Three acts presented one song each and the winner was chosen by a mix of jury voting and televoting. Susanne Georgi was the clear favourite with both.
Andorra in the Eurovision Song Contest
Andorra entered the Eurovision Song Contest in 2004 to little success to date. It is one of only two countries (the other being Estonia) that managed to be eliminated in all five semi final stages broadcast so far. Their best result came in 2007, when Anonymous finished 12th in the biggest semi final with 28 participants.
Desitgem bona sort i un bon resultat a Moscou a Andorra i a Susanna Georgi!

Love Andorran song this year and I really hope they qualify. This is a refreshing and cute entry. Good luck 
Nice and vivacious song from Andorra this year. Catalan is a beautiful language.
However, this song does not make me a great impact on. Anyway, good luck to you Andorra !
I had high hopes for Casanova last year but the live performance was disappointing.
I'm hoping Andorra qualify for the final this year. I just hope the live performance will do the song justice. I'll vote for it, if it does.
I like Andorra's song this year and i want desparetly to pass to the final, if Andorra make good performance this year ( and not like last year idiot performance ) and want pass i m afraid Andorra is one of the countreys who is going to withdraw next year, but i have the feeling that only back up jury's can save Andorra 
Anyway i hope the best for that microstate and i hope people from 1 semi to support Sussane Good luck Andorra !!! Kali epitichia Andorra !!!
it´s a nice song, but nothing special!
I like Andorra's song very much this year, I hope she will go to the finale !! Good Luck !!!
GOOD LUCK!!!
HOPE SHE QUALIFIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's nice, best effort probably from Andorra after Anonymous, but is it possible for the principality to qualify to the final with 100 % televoting ? I hope Susanne will prove it is.
Held og lykke!
Good luck!
Lovely song. Addictive and cheers me up. Kinda wish she'd kept the chorus in Catalan at least once though, but hey. She's really sweet too, and a very charismatic performer which I hope helps her in Moscow. Andorra really should qualify with this.
Some countries are condemned to be in semifinal, whatever they take.
50-50 JURY IN SEMIFINAL!!!!!!!!!
BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD
Good song Andorra . I love this song . 
,. Andorra is one my favorites countrys of Eurovision . The best entry join Anonimous (Salvem el mon).
ANDORRA TO FINAL!!!!
@ Valenti Parrilla Aixela
thank u for the info
Good luck Andorra, nice song this year!
Held og lykke Susanne Hope to see Andorra in the final this time...
David A,
Unfortunately Denmark can't vote for ANdorra/Susanne, before she has passed to the Finale...
Look at Susanne Georgi with her contendants Soraya and Hadise in their respective visits to Andorra last week ;-)

OMG!i was fourteen when ive heard !Dub I Dub by Me&My n never forget that song as i loved it.
n Susanna was one of them? 
was she the blondie?
haha thats so nice
This song is totally forgetable...
I don't think it will reach the finals
Definitely going to be one the contenders for victory in may. Although admittedly, I wouldn't be too sure about holding the contest in Andorra. I've heard the locals are vicious, barbaric people, and that they brutally shoot and string up any foreigners that dare come near their beautiful country 
I'm not sure though ... it could just be an urban myth.
only 40 comments in this article?
and 14000 for hadise?
(though we are all crazy for her 
)
andorra la vella 2010
I just pray Andorra qualify because they deserve to and have deserved to in the past.
Lets hope Scandanavian countries vote for Susanne as she is Danish.
COME ON ANDORRA
COME ON SUSANNE
Very catchy song,very sweet girl!!!
Hey... "Tum Dek Dak" sounds very similiar to "Dum Tek Tek"... But it dosen't have to mean anything...
And about the song: The song sounds very nice, But i was dissapointed when i heard the english chorus... Without the Catalan chorus, There's something lost in the song. I hope She'll sing the Catalan chorus.
I really like this song, it's the second most played song of ESC2009 in my media player after Lithuania. I like her voice a lot especially when she sings "Sabrem lluitar sabrem seguir, mirar al futur trobar-te i ser feliz" It's a very happy and beautiful song.
I think Andorra always sends great entries (except 2008) and deserves to finally qualify this year. If they don't in 2009 they will never make it! Good luck!
The only reason I would like to see Andorra in the final is because I find Susanne very sweet..the song unfortunately sounds almost annoying to me.
