Nelly Ciobanu - Hora Din Moldova (Moldova) Live 2009 Eurovision Song Contest

[@kikyosaka1900]

This is so criminally underrated,like not only this woman nail all the notes,she also basically yodelled and continuously jived on the stage🥲

[@ksy4747]

Totally agree with you! This, among a couple of others from 2009 were my top favorites.

[@beautifulflowersafterhours]

it’s great but it is far from underrated, it gets a lot of praise

[@jannadark8100]

yeah, she performed better than average world famous star, flawless. too bad not many of listeners can appreciate technical side of her singing as it's more show than singing contest.

[@thewrathofdumbledore4867]

Its my favorite ESC of all time. Even with with all the GODLY songs this year nothing comes close to beating this

[@danidejaneiro8378]

One of my all time Eurovision favourites.

[@GeorgeAustinTay]

13th place for this should be illegal, it makes me want to get up and dance whatever she's dancing

[@Adrian.Lei4]

14th place

[@legaciestr]

George Austin Tay its Hora. But Moldovan Hora. There are also variations of the dance in Greece and Turkey and many other balkan countries

[@geminix365]

Lmao, don't forget Romania, where the other half of Moldova is

[@stefane4581]

geminix365 you mean moldova, where the other third of romania is Edit: Moldavia*

[@geminix365]

Hehe, I say that because Moldova is older than Romania. Moldovan people are now split between the Republic of Moldova, Romania and a bit of Ukraine :P

[@RUIVOX]

I was so happy.when my country (Portugal) gave 12 points to this masterpiece. Well deserved Moldova!

[@music4ever4816]

2009 was such a strong year. The best year in my opinion. I like almost every song.

[@0zem]

music4ever4816 and for some reason a mediocre song from Norway won the whole thing with some record breaking result (as far as I remember). I could name at least 5-10 better entries that year...

Man I as a Moldovan really like this song, but 2009 was the best year, regarding the entries. That year Alexander gave perhaps the best performance ever. He was "in a fairytale.."

[@mihaigrigori5724]

De peste 20 ori am ascultat o doar acum. Nu pot sa ma obisnuiesc cat de perfecta a fost reprezentația. Ba ma uit la dansatori, ba la vocea din spate si toiagul lui, ba la ea, ba la dansatori, ba ascult cantecul, ba trompetele, ba ma uit la imbracamintele lor, ba la scena, ba la RA ul ala care iti face pielea de gaina. E atat de complexa performanta asta, nu te saturi. Felicitari din inima, nu m am nascut in Moldova, bunicul a fost moldovean, dar sunt foarte mandru ca o particica din mine vine de pe plaiurile care a scos o asemenea performanta. Incredibil! Se vede mandria moldoveneasca in orice aspect al acestui videoclip.

[@midnightsummernight]

This song is so strong and charming. I'm Thai, but I love these folklore vibes and dancing. Top 10 is the best place for this art.
