Moldova 2025 - WITHDRAWN!

TRM cancelled the draw event for the NF that was meant to happen today and they're holding a press conference tomorrow instead, there are rumours they're scrapping the national final and just going with "Semafoare"


How MESSY :disco:

Fine by me, this was my favourite so far!
 
Based on his moves I'm starting to question whether he knows semaphore at all.
 
To be honest, I don’t blame them for making this decision. It’s been a long time coming and if it wasn’t for the fact they have had so many returning acts or artists with generous benefactors (Gordienko, DoReDos and Natalia Barbu) representing them, it would have happened sooner I think.
 
I do hope it’s just a one off. Where’s RALPH SIEGEL when you need him?
 
Bit depressing that this being the first year without a returning artist for them since 2019 was the writing on the wall.
 


According to Moldovan press, TRM TV selected BACHO and Carnival Brain as representatives, but the group refused after being offered only travel expenses. Other artists also protested, leading TRM to withdraw from the competition.
 
Isn’t that an improvement over the usual Moldovan terms? I thought they only got their flight back paid for if they did well.
 
Those were the terms for Natalia Barbu in 2007 if she went top ten - although that feels less brutal than otherwise now knowing she was already the wife of Romania's richest man :D
 
Also I suspect it got scrapped given they scrapped top ten autoqualifying a country the year after that year. Plus, costs outside travel have gone up massively since 2007. Back then nobody really spent anything on most of the performances.
 
Are we ever going to end up with more than 37 countries again? :D

This is fake news.
 
Apparently BACHO stated today that no such offer was ever made, and if it had been he would have accepted and self-funded.

Bizarre that they wouldn't take him up on that if they have form.

Poor Kalomira famously had to pay her hotel expenses herself as well and still was very happy to do it. What did they expect?

The regulations for their national selection this year actually state that the winner’s airfare and accommodation costs would be covered by the broadcaster. This would have been the first time that they cover these kinds of costs for their artist.
 
SERIOUSLY?! Do we have enough funds in the mopsy account to pay for an EasyJet ticket for Bacho?
