Good entry. Pasha looks very professional, the song is fun and original. I expect that the staging in Liverpool will be much slicker; Moldova usually delivers in that department.
Moldova amazes us again. Very original, creativity and originality. I have never seen a dwarf at Eurovision before, this thing is amazing. Great, it's my favorite Moldova
I dont' love eveything they send but I think Moldava punches above its weight in Eurovision more consistently than just about any other country.... Last year's entry was my favorite (no chance to win but loads of pure fun) and this is also high on my list.... pagan drums, antler headresses, dwarf flute guy.... I'm giddy!
This is what Eurovision is made for!
At last.......an entry i can get behind fully!
You can always rely on Moldova to bring quality and this year is no exception.
Pasha Parfeny is a true professional and he will take the contest in Liverpool in his stride
Similar to France last year but as much as i loved Fulen, this seems to be more accessible than that was.
I had my fingers crossed this would win and thank god it did
A guaranteed qualifier and this wouldn't suprise me at all if it gained a top 10 finish.
Well done Pasha and congrats Moldova 🇲🇩
👏👏👏
Yea maybe Fulenn in the end came across as too sinister? This is more playful. Also it will benefit from being heard twice if it makes the final
So good to have Pasha back. What a song! What a show! Top 5 for me.
My number one so far this year! Love pasha's charisma and will definitely elevate a lot more in Liverpool! Can't wait🥳
The subtitles in this video say "an ancient PENGUIN ritual feel" instead of "pagan," and that just made my day 😂
oh lol 😂
The Moldovan selection is one of my most anticipated of the year, even if many times it is quite obvious who the winner will be. This is a quality song and performance, will be interesting to see how Semi 1 pans out. In the wake of massive favorites, it is songs like this that can still gather some support. Reminds me how Ireland could have sent Midnight Summer Night...
You forget that moldovan national selections usually look worse than this, even Zdob și Zdub last year won just by standing there, that's simply the budget they have for a national selection, doesn't mean they won't know what to do on the big stage. We definetly want the little man and you will certainly hear him play the caval in the green room in Liverpool.
I am romanian by the way, I am happy they chose this,I also feel represented so thank you Moldova!
This has got to be their best entry since 2017 or 2018! So much potential! I dont think they should change a thing for now because it really works for me. They managed to slaughter Epic Sax Guy and SP and in their place we have Pasha and the Dwarf Flute Guy who if they send him with Pasha to Eurovision, will become MORE legendary! You have to remember you are seeing the Moldovan national selection version. If you looked at the other songs, you'll see that the other songs had poor staging due to Moldovan budget issues: Moldova is a tiny country and is in the East on the threat of war.
yeah they have a itty bitty baby budget that's stretched more than ever before. it would have probably been irresponsible for them to spend too much on this tbh so i think they did a pretty good job. ☀
@@neconeconeco and it still looks much better than Irish eurosong
@@heppolo oop
This remind me of a more Pop/hip hop version of the Norwegian band Heilung (which is the master of antlers on stage).
I really like this. Honestly. This might be my favorite year for a long time if it make it to Eurovision.
They can just sit there with no stanging and they will still qualify! I don't care how tough that semi is, this will qualify because it's an ethnic bop and people will vote like crazy for that instrumental.
This is my #1 this year. To be clear, his mic was WAY down. There were tons of tech issues with this nf, but he’s performed it elsewhere and his vocal is always on point.
Ah ok cool so vocals will be much better then in Liverpool
@@ESCTom for sure, I mean his audition sounded exactly like the record and he was all over the stage (it was just him like you mentioned). He also did the same thing on a daytime talk show, same broadcaster. He’s never out of breath or off-key, it’s super manageable.
As for the staging, Moldova is definitely one of those countries where you spend $10 on the auditions, $100 on the national final and $1M on the ESC presentation so I think we’re in for a real moment.
I like a lot of what's going on here! I think with better camera work (speedier sweeping shot, quicker zoom/cut), it should come alive quite nicely.
I love this, but I am scared for this - damn, being in SF1 this year will make this so difficult for him. In any other year, any other SF, this would probably be a qualifier. I would love to see this in the final at Liverpool but there is so much competition in this semi.
The song and the costumes are inspired by the pre-Christian traditions still preserved in the Romanian space, "Sanzienele" and "Ielele", both related to the Summer Solstice.
I trust Pasha will deliver in Liverpool, especially when 2012 and 13 were great
Pasha has gone massively SHAMANIC for this whole song cycle
I'm so happy that he won, I was so sure that they'd pick Sunstroke Project as the artists that gave them their best result, but in my opinion they definitely selected their best option, Sunstrokeʼs entry was much weaker than their previous two.
Considering that this was a very low budget performance, it'll look so much better on the big stage in Liverpool.
And Moldova always does really good with the televoting when they send songs like this, so I'm pretty hopeful that he'll get a good result.
Sunstroke Project and Eiffel 65 failing basically their appointments are two of the biggest NF upsets of the year for me
Yea they’ve got loads to work with and the music video was awesome so they know what they’re doing
thankfully both Jury and public realized just how terrible the Sunstroke song was
I absolutely love this - currently it’s my number 4. I said it before, I think it’s like a more accessible version of France last year. Glad this got through - as much as I love Sunstroke Project, Pasha is brilliant and was far superior to what SP were bringing this time round
I love Moldova!!👋🌒🌓🌞🌗🌞❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🇦🇩😍🤩🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪💪💪👌👌👌
This song grows on you if you listen more
I want to see fans in the hall wearing antlers.
First semifinal would be very tough this year
I like the sound of this song,but the voice of Pasha could be a little higher👍😀
Sun and moon. The moon is in a begin trhen rise the sun.
This is probably this year's Love Love Peace Peace entry. But it only works if it is performed well, and I agree with you that this performance is somewhat lackluster even though a lot is happening. It is not as captivating as Shum (yet), which is probably a high bar, but why not aim for that level? The song lends itself for that level of impact
The mikes were slightly muted alongside the LEDs due to the budget of Moldova. That's simply Moldova's position and remember they are tiny and in the East so they are affected by the war!
@@TheManInBlueFlames being in the east of europe is an understatement, they have Russian and ukraine literally glued to them. I hope moldova will be safe and they will be part of NATO in the future or unite with Romania
The entry is good but there might be a sneaky change it's a shock NQ of the year because of how packed the SF1 is
We need at least one ethno bop every year! Love the studio version. The live one doesn't captivate me on the same level but I'm sure they will improve the staging for Liverpool. Maybe they still have Blas Canto's moon somewhere lying around.
So far this is in my Top 10.
The song is in Romanian, not Moldovan.
Moldova 💣 this year❤
haha dumitru, in english "bomb" means "does badly". it's confusing!
@@neconeconeco really ? 😂😂oh my God, sorry , I hope everyone will understand what I wanted to mean.
@@dumitrubutuc4517 it's okay :'))) the heart made me realize you meant with love. in english you say "that bombed!" to say "it was a complete failure" hahaha. it's like the opposite meaning to other languages, it's so confusing
Yea it’s weird. You can say “he’s da bomb” which means “he’s great” but if you say “it bombed” it means that it did badly
@@neconeconeco thanks, I got it👍
This is a very small stage though. I won't judge it on this performance. His vocals must go up in volume, the ladies down.
Very interesting and very much down my street. I was surprised to get the Irish/Scottish/Galician Celtic flutes coming from Moldova, really loved them. Reminded me a bit of a mellow Shooglenifty vibe. The electronic rhythm is good and catchy. I just see 2 weakness... Vocals are not strong, particularly Pasha's. Backing vocals lack power too. Overall the song sounds a bit flat. I think it would need a revamp to make it sound less repetitive and also improve the vocals. Personally I like it but it think it lacks something.
I'm hopeful, we have to remember that Moldova's NF is easily the poorest production-wise, but they always improve when they get to the Eurovision stage.
Sacha Jean Baptiste had better watch out......move over Stat Tom, Stage Designer Tom coming on through....and fast!!!
👍👍👏😊
😂
Not sure of your hesitation, can little people not be musicians???
Exactly, that's what I thought. I think if they send him, he will go down a STORM alone with the televote.
I don’t think Tom saw the green room when the guy was actually playing the instrument. Like he’s not a prop, he’s an actual musician.
@@escdakota yeah I think there's been some concern that they're just using him as a prop but Sergiu actually plays the caval and plays the part of a Pan like forest god, since the other members of the ensemble are also in elaborate costumes it feels okay to me.
easily top 5!
So-Are-Ell-Ay Shi Luna
ok i will practice 😅
I wish i have such hairs as you have on your chest and blblblblbl :P
I have just noticed Pasha's shoes... I kinda expected something else
for god's sake get a fecking life.
@@ZakhadWOW Excuse me?
They have a lot to work with....and a lot of work to do! This is a mess now for me. I like ethnic but this looks like it's ethnic to be ethnic..if you get my drift. I like the beat but the song is kinda repetitive.
I think some of it is due to the budget staging in the national final. It should come together in Liverpool like it did in the music video
I think you are a mess
