passionpop: (putting my foot in it)
 Moldova is a tiny little former soviet piece of land where the inhabitants speak a Romanian dialect and where the public demands that the country participate in Eurovision. In 2007 they were not going to compete, but the network succumbed to the people and sent Natalia Barbu

It is hard to seriously believe though that Moldova treat it like a song contest. Sunstroke project and Olia were best known for the gyrating pelvis of the saxophonist than the song... oh and that eyeshadow... it was so... blue...  but it all pales next to the Artists that gave them their best result (6th) and who are back



You know those sleazy eastern European guys that lan on the bar and try to hit onto you in nightclubs, they are all from Zdob si Zdub. I mean only sleazy eastern Euopeans and Zdob si Zdub think Ray Bans, convertibles and martinis are worth mentioning still. For everyone else they are so 25 years ago. 

Everything about this screams retro, right down to the fact that these guys were Moldovas first Eurovision entry in 2005. "Bunika Bate Toba" (Grandma beats the drum)  was just such a silly fun song, that the concern was that they would ruin the happy memory of that song with their new on, but this song is so silly and fun. I could see drunk uni-students in a house moshing to the refrains of this and hurting themselves and not caring because it is fun. it wont win, but it will be fun. 

I cant wait to see this years performance from Moldova just because it will be mental. Go Zdob si Zdub, you crazy sleazy eastern Europeans!
