I wanted to listen to SunStroke Project – "Hey mamma" out of curiosity, but the audio in its webpage didn't work, and I listened to Vozniuc feat. Vio Grecu – "Don’t lie" by accident.

Yes, we waiting the time when you will include songs by male singers in your ratings.

Yes, we waiting the time when you will include songs by male singers in your ratings.

As I said before, listening by accident to that "Don't lie" song, was a pretty terrible experience for me...

Out of these 16 entries I LOVE/like 5, and in this order:

1. Ethno Republic & Surorile Osoianu - "Discover Moldova" - this is a serious ETHNO BOMB, I ADORE this, it features real Moldovan ethno music throughout the whole entry, it is really interesting song.. it is catchy and quality at the same time, it is on the level of the Moldovan ESC legend Nelly Ciobanu, and even better..

2. Aurel Chirtoaca - "Dor de mama" - this is MESMERIZING..it is so old fashioned and reminds me of old, very old Romanian schlagers, it also features REAL Moldovan ethno music elements which give some spice to this melancholic and nostalgic ballad..his voice is really great, he has huge vocal range and we can notice that in the studio version, this needs to be very good live, but for now it is a brilliant pearl of this NF..

3. Marks & Stefanet - "Join us in the rain"...oh yeas, dear guys, I don't know who you are, but I'd join you in the rain (and on the train), with the tacts of this wonderful nostalgic song..it somehow reminds me of old Irish ESC entries..this is seriously a beautiful duet..

4. Emilia Russu - "If only you" - this is not that great as first 3 entries on the list, but I like it, her voice is nice, silky and sandy a bit, with the warm color, compositionvise it's quite standard ballad but it has a charm, I think she can sing well, I have that feeling, but live will be pivotal, huge test for this ballad that will be..

5. Boris Covali - „Călător” - the same as for Emilia, the difference is it is in Romanian language, and it gives different vibes, it has potentials, let's say for now..

And TOZI – „Uzac, uzac”out of the final, is total INJUSTICE!!

I can't believe that PEARL in Gagauz language is out of the final!

That one should be picked for Kyiv internally!

Now I listened to that "Hey mamma" song on YouTube... meh, nothing special... why are fans raving about it?

[EscGeek]
