Lisbon calling Kishinev and Podgorica

Country: Moldova

Performer: Natalia Barbu

Song: Fight

Music by: Alexandru Braşoveanu

Lyrics by: Elena Buga

Review: This was one of the first songs choosen this year and remains one of my favourites ever since.

It's a modern pop-rock theme with a nice mix of electronic guitars and violins. The song starts slowly but builds up well and turns into a very powerfull song that really captures our attention.
Natalia's voice fits the song perfectly and if she is able to give a good performance in Helsinki this might give Moldova a well deserved third Eurovision final.

Country: Montenegro

Performer: Stevan Faddy

Song: Ajde kroči

Music by: Slaven Knezović

Lyrics by: Milan Perić

Review: I had high hopes about Montengro and Stevan Faddy. I loved No Name in 2005 and Stevan had a really cool song in their national final last year.

Unfortunatly this expectations didn't came thru with Ajde kroči. This is another pop rock song, with a nice brigde that gives it a touch of balcanic soul but that its unable to rescue this song from sounding incredibly old fashioned.

It's not all bad, but I also don't see in it many aspects for Eurovision sucess... Maybe next year.
