Moldova: Online voting for the first time in Etapa Națională 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:

Moldova: Producer of a Eurovision winning song predicts top3 for Natalia Gordienko!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Dream Team is in the final stretch for Moldova‘s entry with Natalia Gordienko in Eurovision 2021. In fact, after the statements for victory of the singer herself, but also of Philipp Kirkorov, a new relevant statement comes to further strengthen our expectations, for the Moldovan entry in the upcoming contest.

“We are preparing the winning song”

Natalia Gordienko, together with Dimitris Kontopoulos and Elias Kokotos, is in the last days in Kiev, where she is preparing the video clip of her song. The information tells us that this is a blockbuster video, which we rarely see in the contest, the costs of which have been borne by the singer herself.

From Kiev and shortly after the official announcement of the Moldovan public television that Natalia Gordienko will represent the country again, the popular singer said that together with Dream Team they are preparing the winning entry in Eurovision 2021.

It is an honor and a privilege to represent Moldova at Eurovision 2021 in Rotterdam! I look forward to working with this incredible dream team! We have already started working on creating the winning song in the most important song contest in the world!

“Moldova will be at least in the top 5”

Yana Rukdovskaya, one of the most important music producers in Russia and responsible for Dima Bilan’s two songs in Eurovision, took the baton of statements. Among others is wife of Evgeni Plushenk, the gold medalist in ice skating, who appeared with Dima Bilan on the stage of the competition in 2008.

Yana Rudkovskaya uploading a photo with Philipp Kirkorov saying that she has already heard the song, also knowing many other secrets, in relation to the Moldovan entry (obviously the script of the stage appearance), expresses the certainty that Natalia Gordienko with her song will definitely be in top5 and most likely in top3.

“A sweet surprise with a Greek signature”

The song that both Natalia Gordienko and Philipp Kirkorov presented as a “sweet” surprise has a strong Greek presence. Of course it is a melody by Dimitris Kontopoulos, while the vocal teacher is Victoria Chalkiti. The director is Fokas Evangelinos, while the project manager of the whole project is Elias Kokotos.

As you first read in Eurovisionfun, the new song will have nothing to do with Prison, that is, last year’s participation of Natalia Gordienko. The song will be dance… a lot of dance! Its sound is in a style that flourishes in the countries of Eastern Europe. It’s a piece about sex and youth. Natalia is expected to set fire with her sexy presentation. The song along with the clip is expected to be presented by March 8.

We can assure you since we are lucky to have heard the song, that Yana Rukdovskaya’s prediction is not at all excessive!

It’s an honor and a privilege to represent Moldova at Eurovision 2021 in Rotterdam! I am looking forward to collaborating with this incredible dream team! We already started working on creating the winning song of the most prestigious song contest in the world!

As you first read at EurovisionFun, the new song will have nothing to do with Prison, last year’s participation of Natalia Gordienko. The song will be dance… a lot of dance! Its sound and not its melody, we can say that it will be reminiscent of Maruv’s song, with which she would represent Ukraine at Eurovision 2019, the Siren Song. It’s a piece about sex and youth. Natalia is expected to set fire with her sexy presentation.

The participation of Natalia Gordienko is signed by Dream Team. The song has been composed jointly by Dimitris Kontopoulos and Philipp Kirkorov, while the director will be Fokas Evangelinos.

The song was recorded in Moscow, as due to travel restrictions Natalia Gordienko could not come to Athens. Vocal coach this time as well as in the case of Uku Suviste was Victoria Halkiti, while the present was given by Philipp Kirkorov, but also the project manager of the project, Elias Kokotos. The recording was made in Vi Studio.

Natalia is currently in Kiev, Ukraine for the shooting of the video clip of the song that will compete in Eurovision 2021. The song along with the clip is expected to be presented by March 8.

Natalia Gordienko has a different strategy for Eurovision 2021. Until then, let us remember Prison, with which he would represent the country of Moldova in last year’s entry:

As we informed you in our article on June 23, Natalia Gordienko is going to represent Moldova at Eurovision 2021! Now we have the official confirmation from the country’s public television, TRM.

The members of the TRM Organizing Committee for the European Song Contest met to decide on the conditions under which Moldova is able to choose its representative at Eurovision 2021, under the conditions of the pandemic and the restrictions.

Due to COVID-19, they decided not to hold a national final this year, as the members of the Organizing Committee noted that only the creative staff and the minimum technical staff required to organize the pre-selection show exceed the limit of 50 people imposed.

So they decided to give Natalia Gordienko the opportunity to represent Moldova at Eurovision 2021, as last year’s event was canceled due to a coronavirus.

As you first read at EurovisionFun, the new song will have nothing to do with Prison, last year’s participation of Natalia Gordienko. The song will be dance… a lot of dance!
