“Eurovision has never seen something like this: a video filmed by the mobile phone with the help of the whole country,” said Dumitru Volosin, the director of Simpals company, which will produce the video of “Moldovan Round Dance” song. Those that want to contribute can place their videos on www.hora.md. Nelly Ciobanu, Moldova’s representative at Eurovision this year, will choose the funniest and most exceptional videos herself, Info-Prim Neo reports.
According to Volosin, any Moldovan can sent videos that impressed them. Five of the persons whose videos will be selected will be awarded mobile phone packages and 3G mobile phones.
Nelly Ciobanu works hard in preparation for the competition in Moscow and hopes that God will be near her. “Maybe it sounds banally, but I wake up early, eat something in a hurry and go to the studio, from where I return late in the evening,” she said. The song was slightly modified. There was added a quatrain in English.
The next days, Moldova’s team to Eurovision will go on the promotional tour abroad, starting with Belgium and the Netherlands.
