Moldova: Pasha Parfeni will represent the country with the song "Soarele şi luna"! - Eurovision News | Music

The Moldovan National Selection “Etapa Națională 2023” took place today at 18:00 CET and lasted for three hours. During today’s show we’ve seen ten acts perform their consecutive songs they’d written specifically for Eurovision Song Contest. Among the contestants, we have happened to see three returnees who brought really great results to Moldova previously.

This was the running order for the National Selection.

Donia – “Red Zone”
OL – “Why You Play It Cool”
Victor Gulick – “Let’s Dance”
Surorile Osoianu – “Bade, bădişor, bădiţă”
Cosmina – “Indestructible”
Nördika – “Damn and Down”
Aliona Moon – “Du-mă”
SunStroke Project – “Yummy Mommy”
Pasha Parfeni – “Soarele şi luna”
Corina Ivanov – “When Love’s Real”

Pasha Parefi represented the country in 2012 with the song “Lautar’, Aliona Moon in 2013 with the song “O Mie” and SunStroke Project managed to represent Moldova twice in 2010 and in 2017, while getting the best result for the country in the latter year.

Moreover, among the songwriters we can spot a Eurovision 2023 contestant Mia Nicolai, who will be representing the Netherlands along with Dion Cooper with the song “Burning Daylight”. Mia wrote Corina Ivanov’s song “When Love’s Real”.

Two of this year’s Eurovision contestants, Sudden Lights from Latvia and Theodor Andrei from the neighbouring country, Romania, also have performed during the show. Blanka from Poland was also invited to perform during the show, however she couldn’t make it.

These were the results of the jury/tele voting. Pasha Parfeni was favoured by both tele and jury which made him the obvious winner of the NF and the Moldovan representative at Eurovision Song Contest 2023!
