Moldova participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Moldovan entry was selected through the national final O melodie pentru Europa 2014, organised by the Moldovan broadcaster TeleRadio-Moldova (TRM). Cristina Scarlat performed the Moldovan entry "Wild Soul" written by Ivan Akulov and Lidia Scarlat. The song failed to qualify from the first semi-final, placing 16th (last) with a score of 13 points.
Before Eurovision
O melodie pentru Europa 2014
O melodie pentru Europa 2014 was the national final format developed by TRM in order to select Moldova's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014. The event included two semi-finals and a final to be held on 11, 13 and 15 March 2014, respectively.
Format
The selection of the competing entries for the national final and ultimately the Moldovan Eurovision entry took place in three rounds. The first round occurred on 25 January 2014 and involved a jury panel shortlisting forty entries from the received submissions based on criteria such as the quality of the melody and composition, vocals and manner of the performance and the originality of the song. However, after a technical error by TRM, all entries submitted to the broadcaster were allowed to proceed to the second stage where the artists auditioned in front of a jury panel that took place on 1 February 2014.[1] Entries were assessed on criteria such as voice quality, stage presence and strength of the composition. The panel selected 24 semi-finalists to proceed to the third round, the televised national final. 12 semi-finalists competed in each semi-final on 11 and 13 March 2014. Eight songs qualified to the final from each semi-final; seven of the qualifiers qualified based on the combined votes from an expert jury and public televoting results, while the eighth qualifier in each semi-final was the entry that achieved the highest televote score from the remaining entries after a second round of public televoting took place during an after-show. The sixteen qualifying entries competed in the final on 15 March 2014 where the winner was selected by the 50/50 combination of an expert jury vote and a public televote. In the event of a tie, the entry that receives the highest score from the expert jury vote was declared the winner.[2]
Competing entries
Artists and composers had the opportunity to submit their applications between 26 December 2013 and 23 January 2014. Artists were required to have Moldovan citizenship. Songwriters could hold any nationality.[2] At the conclusion of the submission deadline, 64 entries performed by 58 different artists were received by the Moldovan broadcaster. On 25 January 2014, A jury selected 40 out of the 64 received entries to proceed to the audition round.[3] However, following an appeal by three candidates regarding the rules of the competition, TRM admitted that there was a technical mistake in their initial screening process and decided to include the previously eliminated entries in the audition round.[1][4] Out of the 64 entries that were received, 62 competed in the audition round; "Is This The Way (You Want Me)" performed by Ray Gligor and "Take A Look At Me Now" performed by Nicollette were withdrawn as both songs were already competing in the Lithuanian national final for the 2014 contest.
The live audition round took place on 1 February 2014 at Casa Radio in Chișinău where 24 semi-finalists were selected to advance. The jury panel that evaluated the songs during the live auditions consisted of Anatol Chiriac (composer), Valentin Dânga (composer), Nelly Ciobanu (singer and 2009 Moldovan Eurovision entrant), Aliona Triboi (singer and musicologist), Andrei Sava (composer), Alex Calancea (instrumentalist and producer), Ilona Stepan (conductor), Igor Cobileanski (director) and Tatiana Postolachi (lyricist).[5][6] This was webcast online by TRM.
Boris Covali was originally selected among the twenty-four semi-finalists with the song "Flying", however the song was replaced with the other song Covali had performed during the audition, "Perfect Day", after a decision by the singer's management.[7] In 2016, controversy arose regarding one of the songs that had competed in the audition round. The song "Taking Care of a Broken Heart" performed by Felicia Dunaf and written by Aidan O'Connor, Sven-Inge Sjöberg, Larry Forsberg and Lennart Wastesson was entered into the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest selection Melodifestivalen 2016 under the title "Himmel för två" (Heaven for two) with Swedish lyrics by Camilla Läckberg and with singer Anna Book as the performer. As the song had been published online by the Moldovan broadcaster and webcast live during the audition round, the song was disqualified from the Swedish competition.[8]

At Eurovision
During the semi-final allocation draw on 20 January 2014 at the Copenhagen City Hall, Moldova was drawn to compete in the second half of the first semi-final on 6 May 2014.[12] In the first semi-final, the producers of the show decided that Moldova would perform 11th, following Belgium and preceding San Marino.[13] Moldova failed to qualify from the first semi-final, placing last (16th) in a field of 16 songs with a score of 13 points.
On stage, Cristina Scarlat was joined by four male dancers: Dragos Hioara, Eugen Simac, Lilian Caraus and Vadim Bianchin. The performance featured the dancers dressed as warriors and performing choreography with elements of Samurai fighting. The dress Scarlat wore was designed by Janna Berezovskaia.[14] Scarlat performed a new version of Wild Soul, with digitally adapted violine and dubstep elements. She already premiered the new version of her song in the ESCKAZ Festival, held in Moscow.
In Moldova, both the semi-finals and the final were broadcast on Moldova 1 and Radio Moldova with commentary by Daniela Babici.[15][16] The Moldovan spokesperson revealing the result of the Moldovan vote in the final was Olivia Furtună.[17]
