Apparently Moldova has better NF (music-wise) than other West nations. Hah. And kudos (???) for them for making live auditions and showing them for ALL of the submitted songs. Imagine Sweden doing this. 😀
There are strong songs. I like the ethno in some of them, it’s quite good mixed (“Energy”) even though nowadays that may not pass.
I’ll vote for Vlad Ray & Flux Light, just because.
Note: lovely girls here. Note #2: bad English detected – Tatiana.
@Carmen. Okay, thanks. I knew that, but didn’t know that “Romanian” was now acceptable until you inspired me to do some homework 🙂
Well this isn’t my year for picking songs, since I thought Paralela 47 was a great choice…it’s lively and fun…and not popular at all!
Zolan, Moldovan language doesnt exist. In Moldova the official language is Romanian.
Omg at that Dragostea divina song. It’s all sweet then suddenly OPERAAAAAA!!!!!! I actually kinda dig Energy!
Dang you Boris, or Boris’s people who changed the song. You set yourself up.
Carolina or Boris :3
Energy <3<3<3
@Robyn. An excellent sentiment, I like the way you think.
Doinita certainly is due for a win, but I’m not so thrilled by “Energy.”
“Asculta-ma, tacere” excites me most, and I’m sure it would warm that taxi driver’s heart as well, particularly being in Moldovan.
“The Way I Do” is somewhat behind, but I do like a dash of DnB.
“Turn the Tide” is very nice, too.
“The Way I Do” would have to be my favourite. Don’t see what everyone loves in “Energy”.
Hallelujah and Energy….
Doinita for me, has the most fun entry of the whole selection 😛
Anyone less Boris Covali.
They all kinda bad
