"Just as Jennifer Beals inspired Jenny’s father to call her Jenny, and just as Jenny was inspired by the Andorran recording company to compete in the Andorran selection for Eurovision – so has Jenny inspired the whole of Andorra."
Music & Lyrics by: Kate Ryan, Niklas Bergwall, Niclas Kings, & Lisa Greene

Don't mind Jennifer Serrano…she's from Barcelona. Also she works in restaurant as a waitress, but she's no Manuel, oh no. She doesn't have a pet rat gfor a start. She's got Spanish nationality . She hasn't been living in Andorra for too long, but the judges were so impressed by her vocal abilities, and manner in which she served spaghetti carbonara, that she won through the pre-selction from 44 other candidates. She's currently receiving singing lessons from Helen Rowson too. Helen has been previously involved with the Spanish Eurovision entries which were selected in Operacion Triunfo, ie: Rosa and Beth.

Just as Jennifer Beals inspired Jenny’s father to call her Jenny, and just as Jenny was inspired by the Andorran recording company MPX to compete in the Andorran selection for Eurovision – so has Jenny inspired the whole of Andorra. Likewise, Jenny drew her inspiration to sing from all the great artists that feature on her digital music player: from Madonna to Chenoa (her two great idols); from Ismael Serrano to Aerosmith; from Lucie Silvas to Aretha Franklin; and from her adored Robbie Williams to her adored Anastasia. There’s a piece of all of them in the music of this young girl.

And Jenny is very young – a promising singer with very little experience, she would love to be able to live in London for a while, to perform the musical ‘Hair’ on stage, to be able to publish one of the novels that she has written and keeps hidden in a drawer, and to be able to sing ‘What a wonderful world’ by Louis Armstrong with a little, just a little, of that legendary jazz trumpeter’s style.

In these days of reality show pop wannabes, it could be argued that the phrase "plucked from obscurity" has been as overused as the bottle of viagra at Hefner's house. But when you consider a waitress, killing time up a mountain, entering a competition with 40-odd other nobodies, and then suddenly being thrust into the pan-european searchlight of pop stardom, then you have a new definition of "plucked from obscurity". You just know she's more able to hold plates than she is notes.

She is a big girl, is Ms Serrano..a big girl with a big voice and a big cleavage. She does the Mae West look for most of the video, which for me is immediately disconcerting, but then let's her hair down and starts throwing photographs around a nightclub...as you do. She's singing no.4 in the semi-final, which isn't a great draw all told, and I can't see this getting through to Saturday, which again si a bit of a shame because Andorra deserve more success than the pants record they have up til now.

Jenny loves...Morph & Take Hart

"I love the mishaps that Morph and Chas get into. There's peace and quiet in my Andorran bedsit, except for the laughing when the tapes is on. It also reminds me of my Take Hart days when first I saw Morph back in Bexley". (the previous extract was a complete fabrication, and in no way represents anything Jennifer has ever said).

Without You

Never before I've felt
At the end of the road
And now I know it's like this
There's nothing we can save
Now I know that this time
I've lost the game
Then end has arrived
And I know that there's no solution
I'll find a reason
To get out of this world without you

Without you
Without you
After feeling in heaven I've gone to hell
Without you
Without you
Nights are so long
Alone in my bed
Without you
Without you
I don't know how can I escape
I want to run away from reality
Forget about my past
Just walk away
Though I know that in the end
I'll win

Forgetting you it's hurting me
Not caring about what has happened
It's difficult knowing that it's very hard what's waiting for me
Without you by my side
I know I can't dream
Past is passed and doesn't come back
I need to look forward
I need to learn to love without you

Without you
Without you
After feeling in heaven I've gone to hell
Without you
Without you
I've lost this game
Forgetting what I am
Without you
Without you

Now I know I can escape
I can run away from reality
Forget about my past
Just walk away
Though you know that in the end
I've won
Without you
Without you
Without you

Sense Tu

Mai abans m'he sentit
Al final del cami'
I ara se' que e's aixi'
No hi ha res que puguem salvar
Ara se' que aquest cop
He perdut la partida
Ha arribat el final
I se' que no hi ha solucio'
Buscare' una rao'
Per sortit d'aquest mo'n sense tu

Sense tu
Sense tu
De sentir-me en el cel he anat a l'infern
Sense tu
Sense tu
So'n tan llargues les nits
Sola en el meu llit
Sense tu
Sense tu
I no se' com puc escapar
Vull fugir de la realitat
Oblidar-me del meu passat
Caminar sense me's
Tot i que se' que al final
Guanyare'

Oblidar-te em fa mal
Desentendre'm del que` ha passat
E's difi'cil sabent que e's molt dur el que m'espera
Sense tu al meu costat
Se' que no puc somniar
El passat ha passat i no torna
Cal que miri endevant
Cal que aprengui a estimar sense tu

Sense tu
Sense tu
De sentir-me en el cel he anat a l'infern
Sense tu
Sense tu
He perdut aquest joc
oblidant el que so'c
Sense tu
Sense tu

Ara se' que puc escapar
Puc fugir de la realitat
Oblidar-me del meu passat
Caminar sense me's
Tot i que saps que al final
jo he guanyat
Sense tu
Sense tu
Sense tu

 
 
“I’m not a professional singer,” said Andorra’s Jennifer. “I was working as a waitress and this has come as a complete surprise to me. I’ve never even sung in front of an audience."
