Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moldova chose their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 by using a panel of experts selected by TRM, to internally select a song and performer. After a jury narrowed down the 34 valid songs to 3, a professional jury selected Natalia Barbu out of the three remaining options for Helsinki. Natalia defeated Olia Tira and Zdob si Zdub, who represented Moldova at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005. Natalia will perform "Fight" in Helsinki. The song is written by Elena Buga and composed by Alexandru Braşoveanu.

Natalia Barbu is a 27 year old Moldovan performer who is building her career and reputation through performances in national festivals and abroad. Her debut album "Intre ieri si azi" was released in 2001, with a follow up in 2003 called "Zbor de dor". Her most successful single was "Ingerul meu".

Prior to the contest, Natalia promoted "Fight" at the Spanish national final, Mision Eurovision. Moldova will compete in the semi-final of Eurovision on 10 May 2007. Natalia will perform in the 9th position, after Switzerland and before The Netherlands.
