Moldova MOLDOVA 2021 - Natalia Gordienko - Sugar

[escYOUnited]

​

I can't explain it but there's something going on
A crazy energy inside of me
First just a tingle, then it turned into a burn
Like fire in my blood

And now I hear my body talk, talk, talk
A taste is all, all I need
And I'm about to climb the walls
No way I'll be alone tonight

Come over, come over
I'm over doing without you
Come over, come over
Hey lover, give me some sugar

Got me addicted, so you can't take it away
Get me all satisfied

And now I hear my body talk, talk, talk
A taste is all, all I need
And I'm about to climb the walls
No way I'll be alone tonight

Come over, come over
I'm over doing without you
Come over, come over
Hey lover, give me some sugar

Just took a little kiss to show how I was missing out
Compared to you no other [?] thing to brag about
Your lips are hot and sweet, I feel it to my knees
Now I want only one sugar, sugar on my tongue
I need your kisses baby, gotta keep 'em coming
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Sugar​

Wait. That Phillip What's-His-Last-Name-Again showing up again? It almost feel like Natalia is being held captive by him.

I think it has a very big potential to be a total trainwreck in Rotterdam, moreso than Serbia.

Do you actually know that one of three singers of Hurricane is Sanja Vucic who represented us in 2016 with this performance:

Maybe the best vocal of that season! So vocally, Serbia won't be a trainwreck..

@DenizESC another lip sync talent rises

If screaming and wailing for 3 minutes makes "the best vocal of the season" then I think yes this was "good"...

Come on, it wasn't my fave entry either, but vocals are PITCH PERFECT, you have to be ralistic..I speak only about vocal abilities, not about composition here..

I'm not impressed sorry

I mean I'm not saying that she was off-key so don't get me wrong, but such vocals don't do anything for me, it's very forced and if you don't have the pipes as Celine/Whitney/Mariah don't try to with over-singing and "screaming" as a way of hiding your shortcomings, it's better to know where your strength is and I think therefor stuff like what Hurricane does fits her better.

I don't know exactly yet what kind of damage this whole pandemic situation has done to the internal music chip in my brain , but for the moment, I feel quite entertained and almost pleasantly surprised by Moldova's entry for this year. 'Sugar' is much more memorable (+fun) than 'preeson'/treason? was, which would have been a clear non-qualifier last year. The tongue-in-cheek-approach in 'Sugar' is obvious - and something in me likes that.

One more for you Sugar lovers out there:

Yes, she has spent about 15sec of the song on this wailing. I can't wait for this trainwreck to happen "live".

Her live vocals were soooooo impressive and the note in the end!! TALENT

 

[LakZaNokte]

So-so.
Lacks that earworm effect.

5 pts

 

[wtf]

They definitely want 24 from Russia

Wait these gold and black colours suit the song much better than the music video! She has a Kylie vibe here and much more charisma.

For the longest time, I thought it was an alarm sound. LOL she couldn't get one line of "Prison" right last year, no way she'll do that live. Like you, it's one of the performances I look forward to the most, because them trainwreck levels

Since my last post I got a sugar rush like the gif below, so I upgrade my mark from to It sounds quite K-pop-y and it's a damn grower imo.

Sorry but what were these dancers doing in that performance? Like almost all the time at least one of them was not in sync with the rest ...

we don't care it was hot

I would love to see Natalia take a bite of Kirkorov's face on stage in Rotterdam

The only cakey thing about him is his makeup though. He is neither a snack nor a whole meal. Not edible enough for Gordienko I fear.

Now that all songs have been released (except Belarus, but I doubt I will like the artist's song to make a huge change).
I am re-evaluating all songs as per studio form and re-looking into my grading system and how I have ranked the songs according to my personal preference.

The song has grown a teeny-weeny bit and surprisingly, it is not in the bottom of the list (although it's the 10th least favourite song of mine). I am upgrading the rating to a .

Natalia will have the same dancers as Stefania in her live on tape video performance. Victoria Halkiti will make the backing vocals!

Yeah Sanja can sing! The other singers of Hurricane can too.
