Today, fans of the Eurovision Song Contest will get to know the first official entry for the 2007 competition in Helsinki. Whilst Ireland last month declared that Dervish would be their candidates, and earlier today, Swiss broadcaster SFDRS announced as expected, that DJ Bobo would participate for them, Moldova will become the first country to declare their full entry, with the artist and song confirmed.

So, all eyes will turn to Moldova now, and we ask readers to stay tuned to esctoday.com to find out exclusively which artist and song will be the first to be declared an entry for Helsinki.

Last night, we exclusively revealed that aMoldovan jury had reduced the number of songs from the initial 34 to just three. Although the plan was to have 7-10 songs remaining until a final decision today, the three were so clearly in front that they could not have been caught by the others. One of the following three songs will be declared the first Eurovision Song Contest entry of 2007:

Natalia Barbu – Fight (Brasoveanu/Buga) listen here

Zdob si Zdub – Space Cowboys (Ghincu/Iagupov, Jaro) listen here

Olia Tira – Your place or mine? (Taranu/Taranu) listen here

Esctoday.com will esclusively confirm the winner within the hour! Will it be young songstress Natalia Barbu, 2005 finalists at the Eurovision Song Contest, Zdob si Zdub or modern new Moldovan sensation, Olia Tira?
