I think it was one of the better performances tonight.

 

[DanielLuis]

The staging is good, but I feel like it really emphasizes how much the song is repetitive to be honest
I had never been bothered by the repetitiveness until tonight

 

[allenakaalan]

All I want is for Pasha to improve on his 11th place finish from 2012.

 

[Arion]

Moldova was my biggest disappointment of the night. I really really like the song and I listened to it a lot so I had high expectations for the performance and damn Pasha really didn't deliver.
I just cringed through the whole performance. It wasn't the worst thing I saw last night, but I expected something more.

 

[Juliette]

I love the song and am incredibly pleased it qualified, who cares about the final result

 

[gingerale]

The song never really clicked with be but was excited to see the performance.

I'm still not hooked.

The flute guy is doing most of the heavy lifting when it comes to the televote. Moldova knows its niche.

Indeed, will grab attention.

His Alter Ego with the flute is an added value to the song as well as to the stage performance. There are some repetitive seconds which can be annoying, but from the other hand, Outlander/Game of Thrones/House of Dragons/Lord of the Rings/Rings of Power fans just found their eurovision song to stick on it.

Pasha Parfeni delivered the ethno-dance track of the evening for Moldova with "Soarele si luna" - including dancers with horn hairdos. Without direct competition in this genre, he also managed to enter the competition - perhaps also due to the fact that Ukraine has made the flute solo presentable in the Song Contest with Go_A 2021 and last year's winner Kalush Orchestra.

One of the best performances of yesterday´s night. I loove everything about it starting with a tune and finishing with dance moves. Pure gem!

 

[Ianp16]

I liked this before the performance. It qualified because of the small man with a flute. We're going back to the 00's everyone!

 

[A-lister]

Good job Moldova, and well deserved qualification I think the juries will probably kill this in the final, and while there is something missing in the song to make it really click for me (still have it in my top. 10), it is still an entry true to the spirit of Eurovision.

The darkest of dark horses. People underestimate how fun this entry is to casual viewers, not just little flute guy, but the dance itself. Watched the semi with a couple of friends, they were ecstatic about this one, like literally neighing and dancing along. It was their clear favourite. Curious how Moldova will do on Saturday, hope they won't be buried like France last year.

Yep, never underestimate Moldova. We should know it by now. It also helps that the performance sell the shit out of the song in a much more relatable and relaxing way than France last year. Even my parents that are more conservative in their musical tastes, were totally into it. I predict another televote smashing hit

 

[midnightsun]

It was my sister‘s favourite on Tuesday which surprised me.

The songs I thought she would like the most were in the bottom of her ranking, instead she loved Moldova and Serbia (which I thought she‘d hate)

 

[Milos-BC]

After the epic sax guy, now we have the epic flute guy as well

A very entertaining performance, I really loved it. I think it will do worse than his 2012 entry in the final but it definitely deserved to be heard one more time.

 

[Looren]

Great song, pretty good performance, I really hope they do well, go Moldova

 

[gigi_copp3]

This has been Italy's 12 points in the televoting. I expected a bit more but that's ok
