Etapa Națională 2024 - My Top 11 (with comments) [Moldovan ESC Selection Finalists]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Another year of Eurovision means another round of Moldovan auditions...honestly, though, I thought this batch of performances was quite a bit better than last year's. Not only that, but despite some weird qualifiers, there were no absolutely massive robberies like last time (still mad about Deja Vu lol). Either way, Moldova actually has a few decent choices here, but I'd most like to see one of my Top 2 in Eurovision. Would like to see Moldova send a non-returning artist for once, it's been almost 5 years!

Valeria Pasha the best
How Poli didn’t qualify for final 🥲🥲🥲 she totally slayed 💅💅💅
Same winner :D. Rip Valleria though, I was so sad watching it
I felt really bad for Valleria too, she had some genuine hype but was clearly sick and not enjoying herself. Hopefully she brings something even better next year.
I LOVE your description of Lui's instrumental breaks, it's SO accurate😂 Your entire top 3 sounds great, though I think I prefer Fever and Anti-Princess to your #1. I have high hopes, Moldova somehow always manages to get something competent and memorable out of a horrible selection.
Common belief is that Natalia Barbu is gonna win and Good Lord I hope not lol. They have several better options from non-returning artists.
My top 10
1th Natalia Barbu
2th OL
3th Poli
4th Iulia Teleucâ
5th Viola Julea
6th Valeria Pasha
7th Anna Gulka
8th Maria Ciolac
9th Laura
10th Nicoleta Sava
no runaway my favorite😢
Sasha Bognibov didn't even get an honorable mention smh
Also holy shit Lui does sound like a Nintendo song-
Poli's gonna save the princess
My opinion - "What's the Fun" and "Broke the Chain" robbed
Definitely prefer Revolution over What's the Fun but tbh I'm just glad Y-Limit made it at all lol.
Broke the Chain wasn't bad but a bit too derivative of other songs (namely Feel it Still)
@@JH3Eurovision And I'm also glad Y-Limit is in the final. Well, maybe I like "What's the Fun" better because it's the Portuguese vibe I love, but I still understand why "Revolution" was preferred. Well, I guess why they robbed "Broke the Chain" even though the song itself and the live performance were some of the best.
GRRRRR WHERE IS MARRIED TO TWINS IN YOUR HONORABLE MENTIONS 👺
Ok but for real I’m not watching any of the eliminated songs because a) they’re not on EW and b) if there’s a song called Married To Twins in this NF they’re probably doing me a favor lol.
I procrastinated watching these on purpose and just got around to them while working on a study guide. Interestingly this is the SECOND NF so far where there’s an exact equal split between what I like and dislike. Unlike Vidbir though the best don’t reach really high heights, and there are some really bad songs at the bottom.
I’ll type my thoughts out later (or respond to any questions you might have), but for now I’ll put the top list. And before you ask which “Fever” is which, consider which one is more likely to get me executed by drowning. It’s not that one.
*My top 11*
1. No Time No Space (8)
2. Anti-Princess (7.5)
3. DNA (7)
4. Contrasens (7)
5. In the Middle (6.5)
6. Fever (5.5)
7. Runaway (5)
8. Light Up! (4)
9. Revolution (2)
10. Bravo (1.5)
11. Fever (1)
honestly pretty happy with the finalists, id say pretty much all of them deserved it and they all had better performances than the others who didn't qualify. however, the only change id make to this lineup is by replacing viola julea with Poli - Lui , and maybe replacing victor gulick with Laura - Spune Mi.
I definitely would've taken Bravo and Light Up out and probably replaced them with Carnaval and Spune-mi.
