Moldova
A Century Of Love
Geta Burlacu
Lobo:
Not sure, but i think i haven't listened to it.
Ade:
Taken out of context, it isn't that awful, just very unremarkable and verging on pastiche. The overall blandness and lack of hook will surely flow over the heads of the average boozed up televoter, unless they overdo the staging, which given this is Moldova is always a possibility.
Not the sort of song that sets a televoting scoreboard alight. 7/10
Tore:
Oh dear. Pseudo-jazz, not far away from what Lithuania gave us last year. It could perhaps work as background music in some chill-out bar or elevator music in some trendy hotel. In ESC this will be forgotten while listening and hopefully the TV audience won’t die of boredom or change the channel. Chances of qualifying: 20%
Boog:
Smooth late night jazz which soothes the aching ESC head. At least it would if it weren’t for the singer. Why the composer, (God forefend it’s the girl herself) gave this song to someone with a voice less likely to induce relaxation, is anybody’s guess. The only thing which is even more unfathomable is the presentation at the national final. Bubbles and Pairs skating. The one saving grace is , I’ve always wanted in ice skating for the girl to lift the guy, and in this performance she does! What do I know I know about Moldova?..well, over 25% of the population have moved to Romania recently. Personal score out of ten (3) and Winnschans (0%)
Stefan:
Soap bubbles are the one gimmick that hasn't been tried yet, so bring them on! The song is reminiscent of Lithuania last year, and while that didn't do well, I say again what I said then: Either very high or very low place: 7/10.
Alexander-NL:
Harrow:
Love or Leave without the screen! Zzz 1/10
Frank:
What’s that country called, dear? Mood-ova?

Alexander-NL:
This made a great first impression on me. A simple, peaceful song and enough visual distraction from the accent. The bubbles or the yarn make no sense but somehow I love it and it adds to some undefined atmosphere of the song. Since my first impression it started to go down however, but that’s probably irrelevant. Prediction-wise it’s a big black question mark to me, I have no clue how it will come across in Belgrade. Yet I look forward to it.

Moldova: Probably the song I like most in the contest, musically – drifting cool jazz-influenced, and the sort of thing I listen to outside ESC. Won’t do a thing, unfortunately, but glad it’s there. 10
