It’s an environmentally friendly entry for Moldova this year
as they’re recycling so much from Baku. Aliona was one of the backing singers
for lovely Pasha Parforthecourse and she’s taking centre stage this time. But
look, who’s that at the piano? Why, it’s Pasha himself, and he’s even written
the song. But that’s not all, as they’ve also recycled Azerbaijan’s gimmick by
projecting gobos and other imagery onto Aliona’s frock, just like during Sabina
Babayeva’s performance. Aliona has something strange going on with her hair:
it’s highly fashioned but all pulled over onto one side and lacquered to within
an inch of its life. It makes her look like she’s modelled the right hand side
of herself on Crystal Tips from the popular children’s cartoon and not known
what to do with the left. The song is a big ballad, moody and effective and Aliona
is flanked by three chaps I’d like a closer look at, but whose faces are
shrouded by silken hoodies. I’ll see if I can pull their hoods back in Malmö
and admire the delights that surely hide within. I do like this, but it’s slap
in the middle of so many other moody and effective female ballads something is
going to have to give. We might be as well advised to either draw lots for
which of them will qualify, or perhaps just let them have a catfight. Aliona could
have an edge there; that hair looks like a weapon of mass destruction.
