Arsenium for Moldova

Loca in Athens

Arsenium and Natalia Gordienko for Moldova!

For the second time this year, Moldovan TV viewers sat down to watch their national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest in Athens. The winners, who will go straight to the final in Athens this May, were ex-Ozone singer Arsenium with Natalia Gordienko, singing the song Loca.
The reason for the second selection programme was an unprecedented three-way tie in the first selection last month, which could not be resolved. Under Moldovan selection rules, the youngest jury member has the deciding vote in the case of a tie, but the member in question this year felt uncomfortable making such an important decision. Instead, a second show was hastily put together, although of the three original 'winners', only Serj Kuzencoff chose to take part again. In total, just five songs competed for the second crown. The result was decided once again by 50% televoting and 50% jury. Arsenium and Natalia Gordienko won the jury vote and the televote with Loca. Second was original joint-winner Serj, with Marcella in third place. The winning duo has a spectacular act to live up to following Moldova's explosive debut in Kyiv last year, complete with drum-beating granny and an impressive sixth place in the final. Thanks to that performance, Moldova are spared a participation in the qualifier round and pass straight to the final on Saturday 20th May.

No no no bad choise Moldova. HORRIBLE!! And please, stop the neighbouring! Only because in Moldova they speak Romanian is not a reason for Romania to vote DISGUSTING entry of Moldova... mm one thing, Spanish language is quite popular lately? Ukraine in 2003, France in 2004, Austria in 2005, this year Poland and Moldova...

I really hope Gabry Ponte will remix the song because as now it is quite bad..!!

I have to say I agree with Miroslav -
At first I thought we might have quite a good selection of songs but now after almost all have been selected I'm not so happy..
I think a lot of the songs sound similar (i.e romania, belgium)..
For me I think this year a ballad will be the winner.
However I feel that the winner could come from Norway, Croatia, Romania, Cyprus - YES I SAID CYPRUS, or even greece again. UK is a good bet too i'd say...

Who knows though, certainly not I - I have a feeling at the end of the night on May 20th we'll all be sitting looking in disbelief at the winning song (remember 2001 and everybody??? Yes, it will be the same feeling)

EIREANN ABU!

A great 'happy' song that should do very well (Aresenium has a big enough fanbase in Europe). It should also get some club play as the single will definitely feature some remixes, like his previous singles. Should be the usual bunch (DJ Ross, Gabry Ponte & the Blisscorporation team).

My Top 10:

Croatia (12 points)
Romania (10 points)
Russia (8 points)
Greece (7 points)
Bosnia & Herzegovina (6 points)
United Kingdom (5 points)
Moldova (4 points)
FYR Macedonia (3 points)
Germany (2 points)
Armenia (1 point)
