Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest
◄2016 • 2017 • 2018►

Moldova participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 with the song "Hey Mamma" written by Anton Ragoza, Sergei Ialovitski, Sergey Stepanov, Mihail Cebotarenco and Alina Galetskaya. The song was performed by the group SunStroke Project. The Moldovan broadcaster TeleRadio-Moldova (TRM) organised the national final O melodie pentru Europa 2017 in order to select the Moldovan entry for the 2016 contest in Kyiv, Ukraine. 40 entries competed to represent Moldova in Kyiv, with 14 being shortlisted to participate in the televised national final after auditioning in front of a jury panel. After a semi-final and final which took place on 24 and 25 February 2017, "Hey Mamma" performed by SunStroke Project emerged as the winner after gaining the most points following the combination of votes from a jury panel and a public televote.

Moldova was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2017. Performing during the show in position 12, "Hey Mamma" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 13 May. It was later revealed that Moldova placed second out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 291 points. In the final, Moldova performed in position 7 and placed third out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 374 points.

Background

[edit]
Main article: Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2017 contest, Moldova had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest twelve times since its first entry in 2005.[1] The nation's best placing in the contest was sixth, which it achieved in 2005 with the song "Boonika bate doba" performed by Zdob și Zdub. Other than their debut entry, to this point, Moldova's only other top ten placing at the contest was achieved in 2007 where "Fight" performed by Natalia Barbu placed tenth. In the 2016 contest, "Falling Stars" performed by Lidia Isac failed to qualify Moldova to compete in the final.

The Moldovan national broadcaster, TeleRadio-Moldova (TRM), broadcast the event within Moldova and organised the selection process for the nation's entry. TRM confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest on 25 October 2016.[2] Moldova has selected their entry via a national selection show since 2008, a procedure that was continued for their 2017 participation.[3]

Before Eurovision

[edit]

O melodie pentru Europa 2017

[edit]

O melodie pentru Europa 2017 was the national final format developed by TRM in order to select Moldova's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. The event included a semi-final and a final to be held on 24 and 25 February 2017, respectively.[3] All shows in the competition were broadcast on Moldova 1, Radio Moldova Actualități, Radio Moldova Tineret and Radio Moldova Muzical as well as online via the broadcaster's official website trm.md.[4]

Format

[edit]

The selection of the competing entries for the national final and ultimately the Moldovan Eurovision entry took place over two rounds. The first round was a live audition of the received submissions in front of a jury panel that took place on 21 January 2017. Entries were assessed on criteria such as voice quality, stage presence and strength of the composition. The panel selected 14 semi-finalists to proceed to the second round, the televised national final. The 14 semi-finalists competed in the semi-final on 24 February 2017. Eight songs qualified to the final; four of the qualifiers qualified based on the votes from an expert jury, while an additional four qualifiers were selected from the remaining entries by public televoting. The eight qualifying entries competed in the final on 25 February 2017 where the winner was selected by the 50/50 combination of an expert jury vote and a public televote. In the event of a tie, the entry that receives the highest score from the public televote was declared the winner.[3]

Competing entries

[edit]

Artists and composers had the opportunity to submit their entries between 12 December 2016 and 18 January 2017.[3] An international act was able to compete only if they were part of a duo or group where 50% of the lead vocalists were of Moldovan nationality. Artists could submit more than one song, however, if they were chosen as a semi-finalist with more than one song, the artist would have to choose one entry to continue with in the competition.[5] At the conclusion of the submission deadline, 40 valid entries were received by the broadcaster. The live audition round took place on 21 January 2017 at TRM studios in Chișinău where 14 semi-finalists were selected to advance. The auditions were broadcast on Moldova 2 as well as online via trm.md. "Not Over You" performed by Maxim Zavidia was withdrawn from the competition and therefore did not attend the auditions. Shakya also did not attend the auditions and therefore his song "Beautiful Life" was disqualified.[6] Among the semi-finalists was 2010 Moldovan Eurovision entrant SunStroke Project.

On 23 January 2017, "Mama" performed by Constantin Cobîlean was withdrawn from the competition and replaced with the song "Never Give Up on Us" performed by Nadia Moșneagu due to the Russian language version of the former song having been publicly performed in 2015.[7][8] On 14 February, "Călător" performed by Boris Covali was withdrawn and replaced by Liuba Doga and her song "One Thought Away", which was also withdrawn and ultimately replaced with the song "Ne-a fost iubirea un joc" performed by Sergiu Pungă.[9][10] On 24 January, "Baby, Don't Cry" performed by Irina Kit was withdrawn following the revelation that its chorus had similarities to the song "Bananza" by Akon; she was replaced by Samir Loghin and his song "Glow".[11]

Promotion

[edit]

SunStroke Project made several appearances across Europe to specifically promote "Hey Mamma" as the Moldovan Eurovision entry. SunStroke Project performed the Moldovan entry as guests during the final of the Romanian Eurovision national final on 5 March,[16] the Greek Eurovision national final on 6 March,[17] and the final of the Lithuanian Eurovision national final on 11 March.[18] Between 3 and 6 April, SunStroke Project took part in promotional activities in Tel Aviv, Israel and performed during the Israel Calling event held at the Ha'teatron venue.[19][20] On 14 April, SunStroke Project performed during the Eurovision in Concert event which was held at the Melkweg venue in Amsterdam, Netherlands and hosted by Cornald Maas and Selma Björnsdóttir.[21] On 15 April, SunStroke Project performed during the Eurovision Spain Pre-Party, which was held at the Sala La Riviera venue in Madrid, Spain.[22]

At Eurovision

[edit]

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot.[23] On 31 January 2017, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. Moldova was placed into the first semi-final, to be held on 9 May 2017, and was scheduled to perform in the second half of the show.[24]

Once all the competing songs for the 2017 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. Moldova was set to perform in position 12, following the entry from Poland and before the entry from Iceland.[25]

The two semi-finals and the final were televised in Moldova on Moldova 1 featuring commentary by Galina Timuș, as well as broadcast via radio on Radio Moldova featuring commentary by Cristina Galbici and on Radio Moldova Tineret featuring commentary by Cătălin Ungureanu and Maria-Mihaela Frimu.[26][27] The Moldovan spokesperson, who announced the top 12-point score awarded by the Moldovan jury during the final, was Gloria Gorceag.[26]

Semi-final

[edit]

SunStroke Project took part in technical rehearsals on 1 and 4 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 8 and 9 May. This included the jury show on 8 May where the professional juries of each country watched and voted on the competing entries.[28]

The Moldovan performance featured the members of SunStroke Project dressed in black and grey suits and performing a choreographed routine on stage with three backing vocalists dressed in white blouses and black skirts, which were later changed into wedding dresses.[29] The stage featured black and white lighting and LED screen projections of black and white images, the word "Mamma" in blue colours and images of the group members in a multiplier effect.[29][30][31] The backing vocalists that joined SunStroke Project on stage are Catarina Sandu, Dana Markitan and Helena Abegaz.[32]

At the end of the show, Moldova was announced as having finished in the top 10 and subsequently qualifying for the grand final. It was later revealed that Moldova placed second in the semi-final, receiving a total of 291 points: 180 points from the televoting and 111 points from the juries.[33]

Final

[edit]

Shortly after the first semi-final, a winners' press conference was held for the ten qualifying countries. As part of this press conference, the qualifying artists took part in a draw to determine which half of the grand final they would subsequently participate in. This draw was done in the reverse order the countries appeared in the semi-final running order. Moldova was drawn to compete in the first half. Following this draw, the shows' producers decided upon the running order of the final, as they had done for the semi-finals. Moldova was subsequently placed to perform in position 7, following the entry from the Netherlands and before the entry from Hungary.

SunStroke Project once again took part in dress rehearsals on 12 and 13 May before the final, including the jury final where the professional juries cast their final votes before the live show. The group performed a repeat of their semi-final performance during the final on 13 May. Moldova placed third in the final, scoring 374 points: 264 points from the televoting and 110 points from the juries.[34] They gave Moldova their best ever placing in the contest; their previous record was sixth which it achieved in 2005.

Voting

[edit]

Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation's televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.

Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Moldova and awarded by Moldova in the first semi-final and grand final of the contest, and the breakdown of the jury voting and televoting conducted during the two shows:

After Eurovision

[edit]

After the Eurovision performance there was much discussion about the saxophone player Sergey Stepanov in Moldova's entry, who was the main focus of the 'epic sax guy' Internet meme from the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. This has led to online tribute videos being made by fans which have gone viral, one of which is ten hours long.
