EscGeek and anaraqueen Moldoviţa reaction anticipation post
Guten Tag, Germania!
YAAAS, let's all hype Moldovița!!!
It has everything it takes to be my best song in the selection.
"Visit my country theme" - check
"Hi in many languages" - check
"Fun trumpet beat" - check
Dale dale is also amazing! Perhaps the strongest contender to Moldovița in my opinion.
Irina Kit delivered again! Her song is more mainstream this time. But i don't mind.
And Pasha is amazing! I was afraid he would send something lovey-dovey now that he's married n'shit. But noooo, he gave us another wine anthem from Moldova!
Che-MD is great as always. I hope they at least get a point this time. They are criminally ignored every year.
Catarina Sandu reminds me of Nikki Ponte. Anyone remember her?
I'm happy that i like Natalia's song if they decide to rig it for her. How's that for a ballad? @Mrm
It sounds like a Demyfied "Scream" though.
There are many others that i like. I can't rank anything right now.. It's too much. Moldova's selection is Balkan's Melodifestivalen
Wow hot Moldova reveal. I did it. I listened to them all! 
My ranking:
Some comments:
Diana Rotaru – "Dale dale" - Woah this is super hot, a Moldovan "Dale Papi". Lariss' wig found in a ditch.
Denis Midone – "Like a champion" - I can't with that champion pronunciation haha
Vovian – "10 minuni în Moldova" - The song is about 10 wonders that are in Moldova, it sounds so much like Moldovan Moranbong; he talks about Eminescu and Stefan cel Mare, big Romanian names, and then turns to sing in Russian. huh. very patriotic, what can i say.
Pasha Parfeny – "My wine" - While his songs do sound kind of the same, they belong to a genre on itself, called "lautaresc". Pretty nice this one.
Alexandru Cibotaru – "Cine te-a făcut să plângi" - It translates to "Who made you cry" and it's your middle of the road romantic ballad.
Geta Burlacu – "Răspunde" - The song is literally about answering when your mum calls you.
Tudor Bumbac – "Te-am văzut în vis pe tine" - This is like the music we used to have in the 80s, but with terrible vocals. It translates to "I've seen you in a dream" and he sings about her beauty.
Valentin Uzun & Irina Kovalsky – "Moldovița" - Lmao this song captures all things Moldova. Food, wine and dance. Random places mentioned, bless. Please send this.
Maxim Zavidia – "Take control" - The runner-up and televote winner from last year is back! Really liking this one tbh.
Overall an iconic lineup, I expected no less from Moldova. However, no artists that are from Moldova and are big names currently in Romania, like Irina Rimes, Carla's Dreams, Mark Stam or Valeria Stoica. Oh well, maybe one day they'll do an internal selection for one year.

I recognized Stefan cel Mare in Vovian!
I have been to Iasi, Piatra Neamt, monasteries Neamt, Bistrita and painted monastery Voronet in December 2019! 
I wanted to go to Cishinau from Iasi, but it is not possible to go with rent a car abroad..
I flew with TAROM for the first time in my life, and they canceled flight from Timisoara to Iasi that day, and we had to fly Timisoara - Bucharest, wait 4 hours there and then Bucharest - Iasi.. In return we flew Iasi - Timisoara as booked..

Yeah ok I think we now know for 100% what Moldavian entry would be.
To be honest I'm sad that from one of the most amazing countries they ended up like this ( bring me back my hora din Moldova and Lautar!!1 )
This one is like the mix of "Hijo de la luna" and "Scream"

Damn, my entire top 11 can fight for my actual top 10-15 at eurovision. This has to be some sort of record.
Valentin Uzun & Irina Kovalsky – “Moldovița”
Diana Rotaru – “Dale dale”
Pasha Parfeni – “My wine”
Sasha Letty – “Summer of Love”
Natalia Gordienko – “Prison”
Irina Kit – “Chain Rection”
Che-MD feat Irina Revenco – “Adio”
Catarina Sandu – “Die for you”
Lavinia Rusu – “Touch”
Live Beat – “Love me now”
Katerina S – “We are done”
Of course we all know who will represent Moldova in Rotterdam. I'm not even going to pretend the rest have a chance. But she's a great option.

What are you talking about??????????????????? What has the song have to do with "scream" despite the fact that both song have one word in their title.
Prison is dark and VERY modern with an amazing ethnic touch. It is BY FAR the best song ever submitted by the dream team.

Maybe you don't hear "Hijo de la luna" as well? Then yeah, it's very dark and modern. Same as other cliche entries and stagings from this team
