*replaces Edict, who withdrew their song “Our Star” from the competition.
The two semi-finals will take place on 24 and 26 February, with the national final planned for 28 February. Seven songs from each semi-final will qualify to the final based on the combination of votes from the public televote and votes from the jury committee. An eighth qualifier will be selected by an additional televote between the remaining non-qualifiers and will be revealed during a semi-final after-show.
You can listen to all the songs, as performed at the live auditions, here.
What do you think about the runnning order? Has it enhanced or decreased the chances of your favourite in Moldova?
Sunstroke Project or Miss M would be my choice. It seems to be a pretty good year in the Moldova National Final!
SunStroke Project is the better choice
Deffo not Kitty Brucknell, she’s Europe’s cast-offs, surely Moldova won’t have her really?
Plus the fact that Yearning was so much better than Remix.
Miss M or Stela Botan for me 😛
Dana Marchitan!
Go Sunstroke Project!
