Andorran Singer Ian Moya Eliminated from Eufòria Repêchage

Andorran singer and dancer Ian Moya has been eliminated from the Catalan talent show *Eufòria* after failing to secure a spot in the show's relief gala repêchage.

Moya, who was ousted during the fourth gala, competed alongside six other former contestants for a chance to rejoin the 3Cat programme. Despite efforts to rally support, he garnered just 8% of the more than 600,000 votes cast by viewers, who could vote up to three times per day over five days. This placed him fifth out of the seven hopefuls—or third from the bottom.

Throughout the week, Moya and the others followed coaching instructions to drum up votes. The young artist, who has recently split his time between Barcelona and Andorra in pursuit of his career, returned to the Principality for campaigning and also sought backing in the Catalan capital. Those attempts fell short.

Instead, veteran contestant Aida Royes from Cervera won the repêchage with a strong 35% of the votes—more than one in three total ballots. She will return for upcoming galas in the competition, hosted by Marta Torné and Miki Núñez, the latter of whom visited Andorra earlier this week.

Moya's exit from the spotlight appears final unless unforeseen changes occur. However, his contract with *Eufòria* remains active, potentially involving backing vocals or other programme duties in future episodes. He is also scheduled to perform at the mass Sant Jordi concert in Barcelona on 31 May, featuring all participants from this season.
