Running order determined
The Eurovision 2020 run for Moldova has started with uncertainty but is now coming together.
A couple of weeks ago, TRM – Moldova's public broadcaster – published the 36 received submissions hoping to represent the country in Rotterdam and just this afternoon a group of five professional juries gathered in Chisinau to listen to the songs live.
Staging, looks and graphics weren't the priority of this first stage that was focused on the originality of the song, the melodic line, and the vocal performance of the contestants instead.
Shortly after the live auditions - that were broadcasted live on TRM's official Facebook page, the jury decided that 20 songs will compete once more in televised final to take place on 29 February.
