Moldova
Dennis Reviews Anita’s 21st Century Favourite
Aliona Moon – O Mie | 11th place, 71 points (Final)
This is an example of a so-so ballad, lifted (literally) to a higher level in the live performance and staging. I like how Moldova decided to send in another song in their own language, making it stand out from the other ballads of 2013. It also shows the diversity of both Pasha Parfeny, who wrote the song, and Aliona, when we compare it to their fun and uplifting song in 2012. The rising dress and vocal power is what gives this song just that bit extra to make it one of the best of the nation in the decade.
Brandon Reviews Joshua’s 21st Century Favourite
Nelly Ciobanu – Hora Din Moldova | 14th place, 69 points (Final)
Love this song, so catchy and what energy Nelly portrayed on-stage. Loved the traditional outfits. Was just a great performance where all the elements blended together effortlessly on-stage. Such power and vocals in little Nelly too, wow!
