Moldova was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 14 May 2020. However, the contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background

Prior to the 2020 Contest, Moldova had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest fifteen times since its first entry in 2005. [1] The nation's best placing in the contest was third, which it achieved in 2017 with the song "Hey, Mamma!" performed by SunStroke Project. To this point, Moldova have achieved another three top ten placings at the contest: in 2005 where "Boonika bate toba" performed by Zdob și Zdub placed sixth, in 2007 where "Fight" performed by Natalia Barbu placed tenth, and in 2018 where "My Lucky Day" performed by DoReDoS also placed tenth. In the 2019 contest, "Stay" performed by Anna Odobescu 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 2020 Eurovision Song Contest on 13 November 2019. [2] Moldova has selected their entry via a national selection show since 2008, a procedure that was continued for their 2020 participation. [3]

Before Eurovision

Finala națională 2020

Finala națională 2020 was the national final format developed by TRM in order to select Moldova's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020. The event took place at the TRM Studio 2 in Chișinău, hosted by Elena Băncilă, Iurie Gologan and Doina Stimpovschii with Daniela Crudu reporting from the green room, and included a final to be held on 29 February 2020. [4] The show was broadcast on Moldova 1, Radio Moldova Actualități, Radio Moldova Tineret and Radio Moldova Muzical as well as online via TRM's official website trm.md and the broadcaster's Facebook and YouTube pages. [5] [6]

Competing entries

Artists and composers had the opportunity to submit their entries between 27 December 2019 and 17 January 2020. Artists could submit more than one song, and 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. [7] At the conclusion of the submission deadline, 36 valid entries out of 37 were received by the broadcaster; "Adio" performed by Che-MD and Irina Revenco was disqualified as the song had been published and performed publicly prior to 1 September 2019. [8] [9]

The live audition round took place on 1 February 2020 at TRM Studio 2 in Chișinău where 20 finalists were selected to advance. The auditions were broadcast on Moldova 2 as well as online via trm.md and via TRM's Facebook and YouTube pages. [10] The jury panel that evaluated the songs during the live auditions and selected the 20 finalists consisted of Anatol Chiriac (composer), Gabriela Tocari (conductor of the "Moldova" Choral Chapel), Andriano Marian (conductor of the Youth Orchestra), Pavel Gamurari (President of the Union of Composers of Moldova) and Mihai Agafiță (Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the National Philharmonic). Entries were assessed on criteria such as voice quality, stage presence and strength of the composition. [11] [12] Diana Brescan and Liusia Znamensky did not attend the auditions and therefore their respective songs "Let's Go Together" and "Love No More" were disqualified.

Among the finalists were 2006 Moldovan Eurovision entrant Natalia Gordienko, 2008 Moldovan Eurovision entrant Geta Burlacu, 2012 Moldovan Eurovision entrant Pasha Parfeny and 2012 Moldovan Junior Eurovision entrant Denis Midone. On 29 February 2020, "Răspunde!" performed by Geta Burlacu was withdrawn from the competition.

At Eurovision

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. On 28 January 2020, 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 second semi-final, to be held on 14 May 2020, and was scheduled to perform in the first half of the show. [17] However, due to 2019-20 pandemic of Coronavirus, the contest was cancelled.

Prior to the Eurovision Song Celebration YouTube broadcast in place of the semi-finals, it was revealed that Moldova was set to perform in position 4, before the entry from Austria and after the entry from San Marino. [18]
