A century of love
[UPD]Moldova sends Geta Burlacu to Eurovision
Geta tied today when both her and Olia Tira received 12 points from the two juries. She placed second in the televoting, receiving almost 3.000 votes less than Alexa who was the public's undisputed favourite.
Geta Burlacu's song is A century of love, a rhytmic, jazzy song which she performed to perfection tonight. Moldova will be competing in the first Eurovision Song Contest semi final, on 20th May, in Belgrade.

This song is just too dull. It's not downright offensive like the Estonian song, but I doubt many people will remember this song and vote for it in May. I predict between 12 and 20 points in the semifinal.
Guys, this song is art!

WHAT IS UP WITH THE BUBBLES!!!!!!!!!! Talk about cheap props!!!
Nice song.. but nothing special... let's hope they ditch the props (i.e bubbles) and keep it simple!
no ipmresion. alreday forgot it. a slow song. but not memorable. cute, not bad, singing in a bar or not very good restaurant., thats all. v
this is so so boring.
This song is MY ESC '08 NO.1 so far along with Norway, that's what I'm going to tell now. All the other I've already mentioned couple of pages ago 
And you know what is strange?
- When people who consider "Vodka" or "Moja stikla" as a great entries saying "A century of love" is not quality. Eugh! 
Too much indeed.
I liked it very soft song
good luck

Perhaps I have no formal musical knowledge, but I also think I don't need it to say if I like the song or not. The songs I like are not necessarily Eurovision up-tempo beats. Perhaps the Moldovan entry is a good-quality one, but I think it's boring - I don't like it.
This is a quality song!!!!
I feel I'm on a cruise....
with a lot of old people around me

Not too bad. The beginning reminds me Herp Albert.
Quality song...it's a pitty that this kind of songs usually fail in ESC, unless she can give a strong performance like Magdi did last year.
Good luck Geta!
I like this, it might reach the final because it's Moldovan, if it was Belgian od Dutch, it wouldn't stand a chance
bäh it is damn boring
A nice little song. Not a winner though and I wouldn't like to download it to my mp3 player, but a very good choice for Moldova.
I completely agree with Khalid and Darko.
Hm...she has a very nice voice and the song is diffrent from the average ESC-entry. It will be interesting to follow it´s destiny in this years contest. One never knows where these kind of entries will end up. It´s a dark horse, isn´t it?
Why do most people call a song boring if they can't hum or hop along on first listening to the tune? I prefer songs that make me stop, sit down, light a cigarette (I am one of a dying species ...), and listen.
its not a winner but dainty enough and good to see some Jazz in eSC
I agree with Darko, I also find the slovene song boring, even if it's not bad. It is very dated and reminds me of some greek supermarket commercials from the early 90s.
Hate it! Good for an elevator but not for Eurovision (unless you suffer from imsonia). Better then Estonia, nevertheless.
I don't think the song is boring. You know which song is boring? The Slovene one. That indeed is a boring song, this isn't. It may not be the flagship of musical innovation but it certainly isn't boring. It's also neither lifeless nor dull, which most other so far selected entries are, sadly.
great song! Bravo Moldova! ! ! this is so cool song ! a little jazz, blues is not bad for Esc!
@ Vladimir P
By looking at your profile, I'm not really surprised that you guess that.
Well, I guess when a song is cheap, people say it's good for Eurovision.
Khalid i agree with you!!
