@1882015349543219206 allegedly because ESC Discord refused to cover I*raeli selection :unsure:

Very sad :( Semafoare would've been the choice for them or they can revamp some of the promising ones. The major revamp has to be keeping auditions private even if we don't get to see King Tudor again. :( Moldova NF peaked in 2020 para mi. That was the year with the most bops and there were glaring omissions left in the auditions too.

Amnesia (4/10) definitely the right winner here x (edit: Живи did grow on me but that song is not very Eurovision-friendly anyway)

a bit more about my entry :D :D you may notice the youtube video contains 2 "songs". however, the first one is actually a monologue and serves as a contextual explanation to the eventual song. i only sent the song but absolutely do have a runthrough on the monologue to understand the message of the song better x in the listenthrough, i have asked not to skip directly to the song so as to not give extra pressure to whoever is hosting xoxo

Ratings: 1. In Cosmic Mist (9/10) 2. Tempo (9/10) 3. Rumours (8/10) 4. GAJA (8/10) 5. PRAY (7/10) 6. Lusterka (7/10) 7. Let it burn (7/10) 8. Can't Hide (7/10) 9. Miracle (6/10) 10.
