Moldova MOLDOVA 2021 - Natalia Gordienko - Sugar

[escYOUnited]

​

I can't explain it but there's something going on
A crazy energy inside of me
First just a tingle, then it turned into a burn
Like fire in my blood

And now I hear my body talk, talk, talk
A taste is all, all I need
And I'm about to climb the walls
No way I'll be alone tonight

Come over, come over
I'm over doing without you
Come over, come over
Hey lover, give me some sugar

Got me addicted, so you can't take it away
Get me all satisfied

And now I hear my body talk, talk, talk
A taste is all, all I need
And I'm about to climb the walls
No way I'll be alone tonight

Come over, come over
I'm over doing without you
Come over, come over
Hey lover, give me some sugar

Just took a little kiss to show how I was missing out
Compared to you no other [?] thing to brag about
Your lips are hot and sweet, I feel it to my knees
Now I want only one sugar, sugar on my tongue
I need your kisses baby, gotta keep 'em coming
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Sugar​

Ok, it's actually one of the weakest "bops" in this edition, and while there is room for so much more in this performance, I actually think it was pretty effective and Natalia had a great energy so congrats

Although, seems like she relied alot on the pre-recorded backing vocals, but hey EBU thought this was a "good" idea and rules are the same for all acts so let's just hope it's scrapped for next year.

How much did Philip Kirkorov paid off the juries?

 

[Realest]

Curious to see the Jury-/Televote-Split.

 

[Ianp16]

Shocked this qualified. I was hyped for a colourful and silly performance with sweets and candy and ice cream and fruit...

 

[Preuss]

Better than Madonna

 

[Fluke]

It's the kind of song where being in tune doesn't matter so much but still, yeah, that wasn't awesome.... still if they nail it better in the final they could make the left side.

 

[blue00eyes]

I don't know how.it was tasteless

 

[Nicholas123]

Respect to this lovely lady for singing the song for Natalia (epsecially the last high note)

 

[tararaaam]

Thanks EBU for allowing terrible singers to hide behind tons of backing tracks and vocals. Denmark or someone else could have been there instead.

 

[John1]

reason #1: why pre-recorded backing vocals should be forbidden?

 

[Sammy]

For me, this is one of the most undeserved qualifiers this year. The first verse was ear-torture, the staging boring, the whole performance soulless. You could have put up a robot instead - wouldn't have made a lot of a difference.

 

[Ianp16]

After finding out she was miming this makes me angier. ugh.

 

[Gitte]

Can we make a petition to ensure that pre-recorded backing vocals are one edition only?

 

[Sammy]

I thought the leading voice must not be on the back track - can we get her disqualified please?

 

[tararaaam]

The high note in the end was SCARY.

 

[A-lister]

Can we make a petition to ensure that pre-recorded backing vocals are one edition only?

I'm in, although I still think this deserved to qualify from this particular semi, but yes I really hope that it will be a one-off thing...

But knowing EBU it's probably here to stay

I am not technically against pre-recorded backing vocals, but in a contest like this it can't be an option for obvious reasons.

 

[Brandt]

Can we make a petition to ensure that pre-recorded backing vocals are one edition only?

That was the reaction by the fandom I expected when it was first announced. But apparently, no matter what statement EBU makes on Facebook, people will love it unconditionally.

 

[Gitte]

Anyone knows a good target number for such a petition?

 

[Ana Raquel]

OVER THE MOON that she qualified, but it's a qualification that does not make sense

 

[tuorem]

Hahaha we all knew this would be a trainwreck, but wow: given the lack of gimmicks on stage and Moldova dropping in the odds (rightfully so), I thought she would be out for good.

As someone said, if she "improves" a bit, she could still get a decent placing in the final. But I expect the same kind of delivery on Saturday tbh.

It will be one of the highlights of the night most likely.
