Such a nice song -)

its becoming one of my faves. i totally ignored it when i watched it prior the clip on you tube.

let them pass the semi. it will 'add' a different colour ,the night of the final.

Pretentious? It's obvious they had a limited budget, and tried to do the best they could with the resources!

Frankly, I don't care if this song gets points or not. It's a good song in itself, and points don't always guarantee quality. Remember "LT United": it was #6 but still crap. I doubt anybody still plays that song...

This song has quality, and Geta is a good performer. You can like the song or not, but nobody can't deny that. It's the kind of song that saves the whole thing of being a circus (let's mention Spain, Latvia, Ireland, among others).

I find it pretentious. It's a real "wannabe artsy" video.

This is a very good video actually - but her english is aweful so this is a horrible song - i would've probably liked this song alot more if she hadn't sung in English....

@ Fabio Deluca So true : that's why I prefer Moldova over Ireland, knowing very well that " noisy trash " will probably do better at the ESC which is a big shame and it is up to us and every single televoter not to allow it - do't call for trash and it'll disappear !

As for the moldovan video : it is really nice, well done !

It will qualify thanks to immigrants or it might be jury's vote.

Can't understand why she visited Romania since they always get 12p

First I hear this song and is nice...very decent...

Hm...I want to see it competing in the final!

This is one of my favourites this year but I think I prefer the original version. It's got a jazzy sound which I'm quite familiar with. (My husband is a jazz trumpeter)

Good luck Moldova!

Lovely song, simple but memorable video - very well done, Moldova, best of luck.

The song is my [b]No.1[/b] this year ! :)

Such wonderful and classy late night jazz club tune, far above ESC standards, which brings [i]quality[/i] into ESC and also perfectly sung by Geta.

The video is ok.
Someone said the boy from the video is "young Koldun".
Yes, he has moustache like USSR/Warsaw Pact Customs officers from the mid 80s we used to see on borders :D .. Geez, it was shame or forbidden in USSR to shave your moustache until you're 25 or what? :P

Oh I love this song! It's amazing. I really want Moldova to qualify! Good luck Geta! :)

Nice and sweet video. Moldova could be in the final because of the juries votes.

This song will surely enter the final ........ Remeber Hungary last year !!!!! Not an Eurovision song but powerful voice and a classy performance.......You never know .......Nice work Molodva the new verssion and the video are AMAZING :)

Nice video clip. It was the only reason to prevent me from stop listening to the song.
This song is really one of the biggest favourites to win a poll for the most boring entries of all times.
Esctoday.com should make that kind of a poll within the next days..

Maybe it's not a bad song... but it's still a bad choice... a bit like Lithuania last year. It does not have any chance to get points (apart from Romania and other east-friends...).
And please... a good Eurovision doesn't have to be noisy and stupid absolutely... look at Zeljko songs, Tornero, Molitva, Brian Kennedy...

My favourite song this year!
I know it's not typical ESC song, but I hope this year people will vote for quality.

This is really nice and the new version of the song is much better but I wonder how it will look on the Eurovision Stage!!

!!!!
People remember this year we have 19 contenders in the Semi-Final so thats over half who qualify for the final! Maybe look at who is not likely to qualify!!

The best video so far!
And truly one of the most classy songs this year, together with Croatia. Both are too good for Eurovision's low level, however...

one of the best 5 songs this year, best moldovan entry since their fabulous debut.

nice for a piano restaurant or for a summer bar, drinking your exotic coctail, but...for eurovision i think boring, galantis.athens

The boy (around 1:00 in the clip) looks like a younger version of Koldun...!
