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:
“In almost all climes the tortoise and the frog are among the precursors and heralds of this season, and birds fly with song and glancing plumage, and plants spring and bloom, and winds blow, to correct this slight oscillation of the poles and preserve the equilibrium of nature.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Another danger is imminent: A contested result. And we have no such means for its decision as ought to be provided by law. This must be attended to hereafter.... If a contest comes now it may lead to a conflict of arms. I can only try to do my duty to my countrymen in that case. I shall let no personal ambition turn me from the path of duty. Bloodshed and civil war must be averted if possible. If forced to fight, I have no fears from lack of courage or firmness.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
