Moldova In The Eurovision Song Contest 2007
Moldova chose their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 by using a panel of experts selected by TRM, to internally select a song and performer. After a jury narrowed down the 34 valid songs to 3, a professional jury selected Natalia Barbu out of the three remaining options for Helsinki. Natalia defeated Olia Tira and Zdob şi Zdub, who represented Moldova at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005. Natalia won with the song "Fight" which is qritten by Elena Buga and composed by Alexandru Braşoveanu.
Natalia Barbu is a 27 year old Moldovan performer who is building her career and reputation through performances in national festivals and abroad. Her debut album "Intre ieri si azi" was released in 2001, with a follow up in 2003 called "Zbor de dor". Her most successful single was "Ingerul meu".
Prior to the contest, Natalia promoted "Fight" at the Spanish national final, Mision Eurovision. Moldova competed in the semi-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest on May 10, 2007, winning through the qualifying stage to represent the country in the final. Natalia reached the final of the contest, in the 24th position and last position.
The Moldovan entry finished in tenth position in the final competition.
Due to the low fund of the broadcaster, Natalia used her own funds to go to the contest in Helsinki. TRM paid her the money back, since Natalia achieved a placing in top 10.

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or contest:
“Half of my life is gone, and I have let
The years slip from me and have not fulfilled
The aspiration of my youth, to build
Some tower of song with lofty parapet.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
