Andorran singer Ian Moya failed to return to the Catalan talent show *Eufòria* after securing just 8% of more than 600,000 public votes in Friday's relief gala repêchage.
The Canillo resident, eliminated weeks earlier in the fourth gala for his performance of "Mon Amour Go Home" by Fades and Maria Jaume, vied against six other ousted contestants for a single spot back on the 3Cat programme. Despite campaigning in Andorra and Barcelona—where he has been based recently to advance his music career—Moya placed fifth out of seven, or third from the bottom.
Aida Royes from Cervera took the repêchage with 35% of the votes, more than one in three ballots cast during the five-day voting window that allowed up to three votes per viewer per day. She will rejoin upcoming galas on the show, presented by Marta Torné and Miki Núñez, the latter of whom visited Andorra earlier this week.
Moya remains tied to *Eufòria* by contract and could contribute as a backing vocalist or in other capacities. He is also scheduled for the mass Sant Jordi concert in Barcelona on 31 May, featuring all contestants from this season.
