[ESCfan]

Bring back the epicness of the sax guy,if you want to save your skin. Can you explain to me why Olia and Sustroke didn't pass to the final???

With love from a big fan of epic sax guy!

Judging by the comments and not remembering anything from my first listen of this, I thought it would be way worse. But to my surprise, it's quite catchy and fun. Sure, it's a bit out of control and over the top but it's rather pleasant. 8 points And by the way, the flag used in the banner in the first post isn't the proper one. That's what the flag would look in a mirror.

I actually happen to really like this song but I appear to be in the minority. I hope Moldova can repeat what they did last year and qualify despite all the negativity on this forum and in the odds for that matter.

I agree, this is a rather fine entry. I think it will qualify as well, since there is nothing else like it.

I hope this qualifies as well. Last year's entry proved (almost) everyone wrong and it came in 12th, so we'll see.

His song last year was better than this year.

This song is not bad at all! The chorus is very catchy! What annoys me is his English accent! I used to think that he was saying "This rabbit makes you mine, girl", instead of "This trumpet makes you mine, girl"!

This song has really grown on me. I was really disappointed at first that "Balkan Riders" wasnt sent but I think "Lautar" is great, fun choice. Typical Moldovan entry and I love it

This is a quirky song, but I can see its appeal. The lyrics are charming with beats to match. It's certainly danceable.

This rabbit makes you mine, girl!
