I like it, I think their revamp was good, but it was a bit too much.

I think that ESC is shying away from the stereotypical theatrical entries. Perhaps, I'm just overthinking this.

I didn't like her performance yes,neither the new version, but with the old one and the robot dress she would have been in the final. The only song from my top 5 which didn't make it till the final...

Quite expected to see Moldova not qualifying yesterday after her performance. Song + Performance weren´t good enough in this semi imo.

I discovered the songs of the first semi yesterday, so I'll give my opinion the Moldovan entry :

After Pasha Parfeny and Aliona Moon, I can say that I loved Moldova thrice in a row. This powerful ballad has an unusual structure and the melody sounds epic. I was pleasantly surprised that it kinda followed the path of "O mie". The singer's voice was insterestingly low and nice, it added some more value to the entry, but I guess they should have stuck to their native language since her English accent was very thick. That was the only drawback I found. Her blue outfit was nice too, she was like a medieval character. The song is definitely a grower, I felt it, so it will be nicely ranked in my personal ranking. Too bad she didn't qualify, I was very surprised since Moldova used to get to the final, and again they deserved to this time. I gladly woud have exchange places with Iceland, for instance.

Anyway, nice job Moldova! I enjoy your song.

Yikes. Totally did not see that coming. I thought after Romania proved us all wrong last year, this would follow a similar trajectory. Guess I was wrong. Honestly, this deserved a better result. :( The song is pretty awesome.

Strange results... not a fan of this one, but last on televoting and second last with juries... totally did not see that one coming!

Must be a real kick in the ass for Moldova!

She's the Hannah Mancini of 2014, decent electronic song but for some reasons placed last on the first semi final :(

Very bad ESC country in my book, in previous years..since Nelly Ciobanu thay didn't send anything quality or anything I like..i always separate these two categories..

I hope they do Armenia next year..I thought the same for Armenia till Aram mp3 appeared.. :)

I think this wasn't really the worst song of the contest, but the performance was indeed very messy and it just left a bad impression. It is also not the type of song that works on the first listening, so the end result is not be surprising.

Hope for something better next year.
