- Ah, Moldova. We all have a pretty good idea of what's going to represent you this year in Eurovision but you do insist on putting us through this, don't you?
I think this selection has some promising young talent, some as performers, some as songwriters. I still think that these auditions would be best being held behind closed doors and just having the final broadcast, but Moldova's got to Moldova.
I hope they pick one of the two songs still remaining in my top three as I think they have the best chance of getting a good result.
....I miss Aliona Moon.

Valleria being sick and not being able to perform that well was the most soul dropping thing this season so far to me. She was my 2nd and not first, but still. My favorite didn't qualify either (Another Universe)
I hope she gets a redemption story, because she had the song for sure. I think Oliv Sky also performed more than well enough to be in that final, too.
@@kaleproject3495 Idk if you saw the results, but Rule, AU, and Run were tied for 16th :( So not rly close. Ay ay ay almost qualified which is disgusting.
@@sleppehdaze7739 I did see the Ay Ay Ay result and, is that more shocking than Bravo, Revolution and Fever making it? It could've been bad.
Maybe it's now better in Moldova to have a bad, unchallenging song sang well, than a good song where there's room to be off.
@@kaleproject3495 I mean, I predicted Fever, but not the other two (Yes, Victors)
hello!!!!
my winners are in the middle and runaway, don’t really care much for the rest of them but I can’t say it’s a bad nf at all! I Quite enjoyed it and I’ll definitely be watching the final!!
I've gone in liking "In The Middle" because it's just such a strong favourite to win and it's better to be ok with that. "Runaway" did move up a lot for me. The song *could* be better but no complaints about the performer. If, somehow, it were selected, it could be this year's "Solo"!
From what I've read, Jungle was disqualified because he sang over a track that had backing vocals (against the rules). Also, I personally REALLY don't want Natalia to win, not a fan of her song at all and I think Moldova has several more promising entries from new artists (particularly Reghina and Valeria Pasha).
P.S. Funny comments and the visual style is neat but I'd make the text scroll onscreen a lot faster. I can generally read pretty fast but I actually struggled quite a bit here. Outlines around the text would also be good. On the whole I'd probably save this aesthetic for Eurovision itself tbh.
Thanks for the info on "Jungle". I had finished that part of the video before the DQ reveal but that does make sense. I mean, there's a LOT of songs here that could benefit from backing vocals. XD
PS. Taking onboard the speeding up the text. I think it works for the three-line comments (that was what I was aiming for in each one) but with those I ran over, it was a difficult read.
The online is more tricky. I was trying to get away from outlined text as my video editor doesn't provide it and I have to manually make those as image files previously. It is VERY time-consuming but if it's a huge problem, I'll have to work around it.
was back to me meant to be like a cranberries tribute or something????? there is no way the hook is virtually identical in every aspect
If you're going to "borrow" so blatantly, it might be better to avoid something *that* well known. 😅
I wasnt the only one who noticed
Is it just me or did you exclude Sasha Bognibov from your top? If yes, no need to explain why.
Have no idea who you're talking about. 😂
@@kaleproject3495i think sasha deserved qualification this year tbh
Ik he is controversial. But his singing improved and the composition better
I was SO looking forward to this selection. Honestly, weirdly enough, Moldova was the country I was the most excited for - Fever and Anti-Princess with genuine chances to win, two amazing songs that both would have surely made my top 3! But the juries being the tie breaker hurt Anti-Princess. In The Middle might grow on me, but I'm so disappointed to lose a favourite of mine to a stupid tie break. I hope to see Cătălina and Valeria again with the same quality.
Fever, for me, was a bit of a Moldova NF song and that's its ceiling type of song. The production wasn't really to ESC standard and the sound was dated. Cătălina was the best thing about that. Anti-Princess, on the other hand, was modern, well put together and playful. I think it would have gotten a good result.
I think Moldova has to be happy with some of the talent that was unearthed during this selection. They'll probably end up never sending any of them, opting for Zdob Şi Zdub when they're pensioners or something, but still nice to have.
@@kaleproject3495 I agree that the production of Fever could be better (and the dance break was silly), but its composition just absolutely completely resonates with me. It really makes me feel good. With Cătălina only being 16, this was the first time that she could compete, and I really hope it wasn't the last time. She's super talented!
As for Valeria, she's trying to fight the result, and I'm sure she won't be successful with that. Not sure if we're going to see her compete again.
I just don't know what it is with Moldova and returnees these years. Do they not trust the new talents (which they do have at their supply) to do well?
In the end, this time has shown me that I could definitely look into Moldova's selections more. I know this is a HOT take, but personally I find way more enjoyment in them than for example in Sweden's.
@@joshukaunarak Fever is a style of song that I think can be done well in national finals, but I don't know if there's a real demand for it at Eurovision itself. I'd like to see Cătălina compete again with a song that sounds a bit more modern. Hopefully, some good songwriters will have watched her performance and are thinking about penning something for her. In general, a lot of young talent on display in Moldova this year.
The rumours with Moldova's winners tend to revolve around financing. Don't know the exact in's and out's but it is reasonable to presume that each of the returning winners has at least the means to partially fund their own Eurovision participation. The juries tend to be the ones to support such acts, which is easily done...but, in Moldova, they've had televoting issues in the past, too. So, if anything, I'm surprised Natalia didn't win that too.
As for me, I'm not going to put Moldova's selection ahead of Sweden's just yet. I definitely like Sweden's a lot less than most people and find more to like in Moldova than some, but...I'm just not ready to do it!
Team Fever 🎉 ❤ Go Catalina ❤
Am rooting for one of the girls to upset the odds and take it. Why not Catalina? ^^
Nothing wrong said here. Valleria and Oliv Sky were the ones with the best songs on paper (Rule and Loud & Clear), yet the best packages on stage came from Valeria Pasha, Catalina, Reghina, and Natalia Barbu. Oleg Spinu would have easily qualified if he didn't cheat (or his team did). Tudor Bumbac and Viola Julea are simply iconic! "Disney villainess to a Disco banger"... yeah, I can hear that!
As much as I always subscribe to the "pick the best song" theory, none of the results were like Déjà Vu last year. All the songs that didn't qualify that were good songs, did have vocal issues. The jury just prioritised that. Of course, going the Y-Limit route and presenting a song that didn't really *require* any singing, turned out to be a genius move.
I have to admit, I wasn't thinking about it...but Viola Julea is slowly becoming iconic. That's twice now. I think it takes three times but I have faith in her!
We've got the disaster level NF Moldova has accustomed us and still, in the midst of all the chaos, they still have one or two qualifiers to pick from. In particular, I think Reghina could do very well with the televote if picked, most likely scenario though Natalia'll be the choice and I'm fine with that. It lacks a bit of progression imo but Natalia is easily the most professional performer of the bunch and will achieve possibly a Top 20 result likewise "Soarele Si Luna" last year. I'd also like to see what they could do with someone newer and fresher to the whole industry like Valeria Pasha. Perhaps it's a bit more of a risk but it's one worth taking, she has the potential to do great!
Agreed with your takes! I think "In The Middle" is probably more of a borderline qualifier than "Soarele Si Luna" (which was always guaranteed to make it) was. It'll be in the running though.
I'd throw "Fever" in with the list of young, female talent that could do well if given the chance, but it's pretty unlikely.
I've been missing these comments so much man 😂
The comments about Nicoleta absolutely killed me 😂😂
Haha. Moldova does tend to bring the worst out in me. 😈
@@kaleproject3495 I'm not surprised about that 😂
I get the feeling you ranked Julea this high as a sort-of protest against Moldova and their NS, your reasoning was hilarious 😂
@@levi21 Let's be honest. In a 30 song Moldova national selection, there's probably 3-4 good songs well-performed. 3-4 songs that are good but whose singers have nowhere NEAR the talent to deliver them....and then we have various degrees of car crash, some of which are entertaining...bland Melfest-rejects and borderline criminal offenses set to a musical accompaniment.
In other words, I'll take those car crashes as my 5th place every time. ;)
Oh Moldova….every single time we do one of these it makes it glaringly obvious why yall jump to work with the Dream Team any chance you get
With a revamp Natalia good be decent, hopefully she as a performer can bankroll that because the broadcaster sure as hell can’t
It's amazing that Moldova gets the results that it does when you watch these auditions lol. Somehow, it all works out for them!
She's married to a millionaire so I imagine, she'd already paid for her ticket and has a nice room in Malmo all lined up. XD
I think Moldova having NF, have allowed me to see many characters that although mediocre at first, improve and might win in future
Many Moldovan NF artists have future. Nino, might one day become good, Y-Limit have future, Midone is talented
Seeing the Auditions and see them improve from year to year and see the yearly lolcows is why Moldova and Malta are my fav NF together with Portugal and Spain
I still think the Moldova national selection is set up so that the acts that are big enough to fund themselves can win, without any of the newcomers having a genuine chance.
However, I do agree that there are artists who are growing and have the talent. The pool of songwriters that send stuff to Moldova is a bigger issue.
@@kaleproject3495the fake artist conspiracy
I know some artists like Sandu from ESC 2020 were rejcted from 2024 while other like Lozinsky were let in
@@kaleproject3495i dont see the Moldova selection as a meme
Many entries are better (i mean in 2023 and 2024) than many comercial songs in my country
Anna G is better than most comercial urban and pop in Spain and Latam
Also memes sell, Sasha 2022 Song is a huge meme in Spain, he isnt for ESC yet
But, most Moldovan singers are small and inexperienced. There are no pro singers that chose not to participatw. All the big ones do. And all the incumbent singers that are kinda strong are presenting
The Songwriters are bad thp
Moldova NFs are just......not it, huh? At this point, i half expect them to just rotate Aliona/Pasha/Zdob/Sunstroke Project each year lol
We're throwing Natalia in there this year it seems. Actually, we could include the other Natalia, too.
Vele is indeee a wedding band
I looked his channel
Haha. To be fair, they are a good standard of wedding band.
I’m convinced Sasha is a genius with them lyrics lmao
She looks as confused as the rest of us tbf. XD
Jacob Jonia makes creppy sonys@@kaleproject3495
Hi!
In all honesty, I would've been fine with just an internal selection from Moldova this year, although it was quite entertaining to watch the auditions :D I'm sad 'Spune-mi' and 'Another Universe' didn't qualify, as Laura had one of the best live versions and Oliv's songwriting was something delightfully different from what Moldova otherwise offers. Can't believe Laura wasn't even in top 20 of this selection!
Valleria's time will come, let's just hope she ain't sick next time she appears in the NF. I would've picked both of ever entries over most of the qualifiers even with these performances. Does it tell more about her potential or Moldova's selection process? Don't know...
I really hope they choose someone other than Natalia. While she really can sing and perform, I just don't feel the sont AT ALL. I think Catalina could actually be fun, she is such an amazing singer!
Overall, our tops are actually really similar, so not much else to say here! 🙌🏻
I'm starting to think that there are more talented artists than songwriters generally involved with the Moldovan selections, so Oliv Sky getting in there and writing some songs for other singers moving forward would be a win for all involved. Laura is one of those good singers...so one does wonder what she could've done delivering one of Oliv Sky's songs!
It is a bit odd that Julea Viola got comfortable passage to the final when Valleria and Oliv Sky didn't. Hard to work out exactly what their criteria for selection were.
With Moldova, there's always stuff going on behind the scene that dictates what is actually going to get chosen. Not saying that it's all financial, but, I imagine being self-funding is a pretty convincing argument.
I think the Moldovan selection isn't as bad as Malta or Ireland
Last year, the level was good even in the Audition but they chose questionable artists like Nordika
@@hermenegildoc3933 I don't think we'll ever see a national selection as uninspired as Ireland 2023.
Jedino i jedino Natalia Barbu! Prava evrovizijska pesma. Izaberite pametno. Podrška iz Srbije! 💙🖤💚🌹💋💘🎁🎋🌲🔆🕊️
Good luck getting your favourite selected!
Moldova NF is one of my fav, thanks to the auditions. I see how artists grow and improve. Y-Limit, Midone, Moraru are singers that improved
The live additions make me scout bad singers/artists that start bad and improve
Even singers like Angel Kiss or Pelageya improved
Nino improved as well
Seeing then improve is good. Moldova has been airing live selections since 2019, and in the 2017-2018 they uploaded them online without emiting them live
You see the lolcows and the ones that start bad and improve. Malta and Moldiva are my fav NFs.
For Example, Valeria has improved. If Valeria Condrea had auditioned behind close doors, we wouldn't have listened to her song
It works both ways though. Broadcasting auditions that Eurovision fans treat as meme-material or a joke, puts off legitimate acts from wanting to take part in the circus.
If you were legitimately good, would you watch the acts that are in my bottom five and say, as a professional musician, I want to take part in that?
@@kaleproject3495 I talked to some Moldovan Artsists and they dont get put off by the audition. They know they wont reach the Final.
Although I see your point
To
Legit good acts from big and small artists particpate
Most singers in Moldova are from the famous and big group
And most upcoming ones still particpate
The level is better than Belarus NF in its day and San Marino Auditions nowadays
@@kaleproject3495
Sasha Letty chose Jacob Jonia
Composer of Sasha Bognibov 2020, 2022 and 2024 songs, and mayb3 more
Sasha 2022 song is a meme and kinda popular (80k views)
Sasha is controversial and hate his 2019 amd 2023 songs. But this year he wasn't that bad
