The “Expert” Panel reviews Moldova: Anna Odobescu – Stay | (Eurovision 2019)

It’s back! The (in)famous ESC United “Expert” Panel is returning once again! While we don’t claim to be professionally qualified to judge anything, we certainly have strong opinions, so our staff and editors got together to review all 41 of the songs taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 which will take place in Tel Aviv, Israel this May.  Which song are we going to pick as our overall favorite, and will #YOU agree with us or decide on a different winner?

Anna Odobescu is going to represent Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 with the song “Stay”. After two Top 10 results in a row, the country would like to stay on course and do the same this year. Anna won the Moldovan National Final, can she be stopped? Our team is reviewing the song as this is the ESC United “Expert” Jury.

Watch our video to get our detailed thoughts and scores and don’t forget to vote in the poll. What score do you give to the Moldovan entry? Will the reader’s results differ greatly from ours? We’ll find out soon enough. You can find the team’s individual score in the video.
