esctoday.com has been in contact with TeleRadio Moldova and OGAE Moldova to discuss the content of song number 2 in the selection process, I love the girls by Alexandru Bognibov. The song contains lyrics that have caused offence to many of our readers and has received serious criticism.
esctoday.com has been informed that TRM, the national broadcaster of Moldova, are aware of the content of the song, but the decision to disqualify the entry must be taken by the jury and not the broadcaster according to the rules of the competition. The jury are almost certain to dismiss the song from the selection process based on the controversial content of the song.
The rules of the competition mean that all songs submitted are placedon theinternet by TRM for fans to hear prior to a jury selecting the finalists. The jury will then select the finalists from teh submitted entries. Only if the song is passed by the jury would TRM have the opportunity to disqualify the song, however it is highly unlikely that the song would be selected as a finalist due to the lyrics. esctoday.com will monitor this story closely!
