Moldova: Pasha Parfeni will represent the country with the song “Soarele şi luna”!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

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.

  1. Donia – “Red Zone”
  2. OL – “Why You Play It Cool”
  3. Victor Gulick – “Let’s Dance”
  4. Surorile Osoianu – “Bade, bădişor, bădiţă”
  5. Cosmina – “Indestructible”
  6. Nördika – “Damn and Down”
  7. Aliona Moon – “Du-mă”
  8. SunStroke Project – “Yummy Mommy”
  9. Pasha Parfeni – “Soarele şi luna”
  10. 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!

/1 Comment/in , , /by

On March 4, starting at 18:00, the Etapa Națională 2023 will take place. For the first time, TRM offers viewers the opportunity to vote for free, online, for the artist that will represent our country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023.

The online and free voting system is implemented as an novelty within the National Preselection. It aims to facilitate broad public participation in the selection of the winner of the Etapa Națională 2023 and increase the transparency of the entire process. In this sense, the number of votes cast by viewers will be displayed in real time on the screen. The implementation of this accessible, secure and innovative voting system is an new action of the Public Broadcaster’s Digitization Strategy.

Online voting will be available after the “start voting” announcement. In order to vote, viewers will go through three steps:

  1. They will access the link or scan the QR code displayed on the screen and register with their mobile phone number on the voting platform. Persons abroad can also register on the platform, if they have a mobile phone number registered with operators in the Republic of Moldova
  2. Viewers will receive a confirmation code via SMS to the registered phone number.
  3. After entering the confirmation code on the platform, viewers will be able to choose their favorite song from the list of 10 contestants of the National Final.

From the same phone number, you can vote only once, for one competitor. 

With the implementation of online voting, viewers will have more time to express their choice, 35 minutes being granted in this regard.

The final result will be determined by 50% jury vote and 50% public vote. The members of the jury will vote by ballots that will include the titles of the tracks and the names of the participants. They will award competitors between 1 and 12 points just like Eurovision. The track with the highest total score will be declared the winner.

But until we learn who is going to represent Moldova in Eurovision 2023, lets remember their song for last year’s contest.  Last year, Moldova was represented by Zdob şi Zdub and the Advahov Brothers for the first time with the song “Trenuleţul” which finished in 7th place in the Grand Final while also managing to secure the 2nd place in the televote:

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Liverpool’s Saint George’s Hall with a very nice event hosted a few minutes ago the draw for the semi-finals of the 67th Eurovision Song Contest.

The analyzes of the fans and not only, have been on fire for a few minutes now. Since the theories based on the pre-history of the countries in the competition, it is a first insight into how passable the qualification to the final is or not. In other words, it’s time to make our predictions, about who will go through to the final and who are the favorites to say goodbye to Liverpool early…

The presenters and the handover ceremony

The Eurovision 2023 semi-final draw was hosted by AJ Odudu and Rylan. Both are on the staff of the BBC, being some of the most loved faces of British public broadcasting.

During the draw, the ceremony of handing over and accepting the emblem of the contest took place. The mayor of Turin, Stefano Lo Russo, formally handed over the “keys to the event” to the mayor of Liverpool, Joanne Anderson.

Draw Procedure

The 31 countries competing in the semi-finals were divided into five pots, based on the scores they have exchanged in recent years with each other. This is done in order to avoid, as much as possible, the alliances that appear every year in the voting.

Big 5 and Ukraine

With the big winner of last year’s competition, Ukraine, directly in the final, along with the Big 5 (UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain), the first part of the draw determined the semi-final that the direct finalists would vote for.

Will vote in the 1st Semi-Final:

  • Ukraine
  • Spain
  • United Kingdom

In the semi-final that the six aforementioned countries were drawn to broadcast and vote for, the video from their dress rehearsal will also be shown. This was done at Eurovision 2016 for the first time, for reasons of equal exposure of the countries directly in the final and the countries that qualify from the semi-finals. Essentially, viewers see each entry twice during the shows.

Semi-Final Allocation Draw

The allocation draw for the two semi-finals had two parts. In the first part the 31 countries participating in the semi-finals were drawn in which of the two they will compete in. Fifteen countries will compete in the first/second semi-final and sixteen in the first/second semi-final.

In the second part, each country learned whether it will appear in the first or second half of the semi-final in which it will compete. The exact order of appearance will be determined by the EBU and the show’s producers at a later date.

  • Latvia
  • Ireland
  • Norway
  • Portugal
  • Croatia
  • Malta

2nd Half
