Moldova MOLDOVA 2019 - Anna Odobescu - Stay

[Fluke]

Sorry, i thought it had some promise, and hoped the remake could take it up one notch, but this is just bland and boring, typical East bloc ballad. No points!

 

[JonnyWest]

Who the hell will vote for this

Cheapest song and cheapest lyrics of the whole decade.
It just annoys me how effortless the whole thing is.

It deserves 0, but I'm so generous this year and I have a pure heart so I'll give it a 3.

Sunstroke Project will help her with the ESC Performance.

This sounds like a random ballad in ESC 2005 line-up that is already forgotten due to amateur production, bland melody and general meh... it's a shame since Moldova was really showing themselves the past 2 years...

 

[Mrm]

I want to puke over Moldova 2017 and 2018..especially 2018..what a crap..

Puke on...

I'd rather have fun with some identity over a complete bland forgettable dated ballad... but each to their own

This one won't make the finals, those two were two of their most successful entries to date so I guess that also speaks for something...

I like neither 2017 nor 2018 nor 2019. Me bad.

 

[Citelis]

This one is the most secure NQ on the 2nd semi-final!

 

[Phoenix]

Moldova 2018 was cheap turbofolk excellence, a blast from the past and I still listen to it sometimes. Unfortunately this does absolutely nothing for me.

I've found my Et uus saaks alguse/Undo/Wars for nothing/Icebreaker/Lights and shadows/When we're old of 2019.

This is definitely my favourite ESC-song of the year: the combination of the beautiful, melodic, romantic, sweet song + the biggest hate reaction from the ESC-fans is what it needs for a song to be my #1 of the year.

This song, like the others mentioned above, belongs to that category of songs that are the most feared by the fans because, by not being cheap easy-listening trash, but being soulful and thought-provoking, they kinda force them to deal with their own feelings, something that they don't have.

This is why the fans hate ballads like these: because they fear these songs. And the fear generates hatred. It's very difficult to sit down and ponder over feelings; so, for them it's much better to listen to loud uptempo crap, because meaningless uptempo songs cover every feeling like a carpet.

So 90s and I like it.

My last place this year, awfully dated song, lyrics put me off
Never-forever, stay-away, no matter what they say etc

Yeah the lyrics are doggerel & cliched - rymy częstochowskie as if the song wasn't stale enough.

 

[Kairit]

The synth makes it kind of lovable tbh. But otherwise, it is another song that doesn't have a lot going for it to grab attention, I feel it's really not competitive enough in this day and age.

A lot of people liked and loved Stay, and I'm very pleased that many see it in the top 10.

 

[Citelis]

Final maybe but top 10 no way!

 

[Realest]

I cant remember having seen a Top41-List/Video where Moldova wasnt Bottom10.
