ONEUROPE: Eurovision Song Contest news
Countries A-M Moldova Bonkers is now certain in Vienna, thank the lord!

Bonkers is now certain in Vienna, thank the lord!

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

After a very long (43 minutes for those that watched it) intro to their national final, Moldovan TV then subjected us to sixteen shades of hideous! – but would you expect anything less here.  Not a single one of them was any “good” by sensible definitions (and there was a lot of mental through this – check out the tattoo boy singing from in the closet with a teddy bear!!),  but the stage at theArena Chisinau was decideldly much more prepared and was looking fantastic.

It took them a grand total of two hours and 48 minutes via a Paula Selling concert at half time, to get to the actual voting reprise.  One of them HAD to win and the full result is below, and dont forget to scroll right on the table!

So, the only decent song of the sixteen preseted has literally bounced it’s way onto the stage in both Chisinau and into Vienna and it was a complete walk over.  13,000 televotes almost beat everything else combined (and probably did, I’ve not checked but I will edit if I am wrong.) Not only did they get the ticket to moldova but a cheque for 1 million Lei ( £43560) -= Not bad for a nights work.

Wanna hear the song and see it???
