It will probably depend a lot on how well they do live, I really like Pasha Parfeny but his voice is a bit weak live. None of my real favourites made it through either.

I wrote 'Live on Forever'. Thrilled to be in the final!

I can tell I won't like Moldova this year :(. The few decent songs aren't strong enough live.

The only songs I like out of this poor line-up are Geta Burlacu and Nicoleta Gavrilita.

Terrible terrible terriblr!!! Found it tough to find anything??? So I'll go for 3rd!!!! - Irina Tarasiuc şi MC Gootsa -Save a little sunshine (Nice Production would help) Backing vocals on Chorus needed 2nd????-INAYA - Lights (Very very pretty and nice charm. Sounds like something Azerbaijan would send Porberly one of the better vocals in the whole thing needs some backing though to ooommpphh it up!!!) 1st - The winner for me is........Nicoleta Gavrilita - Crazy little thing (Quirky commercial, needs to work on her diction but like her accent studio version lovely)

@Julie You're right. O-zone -("Dragostea din tei")- would be great to reform and represent moldova!!!!


just me and my guitar... [61885]

I like Leria, Dara and Transbalkanica in this bunch more but overall it's a good line up. Please don't send the joke sang by Doininita Gherman..! Good luck !

Would love it if O-Zone reformed to represent Moldova :)

Great songs from Moldova this year, comparing to what others complain! Modern music rules... I still hope Pasha Parfeny will win, his song is a combination of traditional moldovan music with modern beats, it's perfect! Not mentioning it was composed by Alexandru Brasoveanu, the same who composed "Fight' for Natalia Barbu, Moldova's representative in 2007! Good luck to our brothers!

Interesting year - any of the remaining countries can now send a half-decent song and win!!

Terrible line-up for the most part. I'd choose Paralela 47 or Doinita, but her lyrics are too silly like "I love Belarus" last year. They made some terrible choices so Moldova is bound to suck this year.

All the songs I liked best didn't make it to the final. Well, I guess that one of my favourite ESC countries won't be anywhere near the top of my list this year. :(
