Sixteen acts are taking part in O melodie Pentru Europa 2018, the Moldovan national selection for Eurovision 2018. But at the end of the marathon national selection process, only one can grab the golden ticket to Lisbon. To help you make an informed decision on who to pay attention to, the Wiwi Jury – our in-house panel of music unprofessionals – will review and rank each of this year’s qualifying acts. We’re ready to pick our favourite for Moldova!
Our jury for this edition consists of 10 jurors who come from Australia, Belgium, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Portugal, Romania and Spain. Each juror assesses each song independently, and awards each song a score from 0 to 10. Before calculating the Wiwi Jury verdict, we drop the highest and lowest scores to reduce potential bias and outliers.
We’ll be unrolling these one by one during this week. You can read the completed reviews by clicking on the song title.
