Eurovision 2006 - Number 61 - Millenium – "Cred în steaua mea"

The history of Formația Millenium (yes, one 'n') resembles a K-pop band formed of Soviet child musician heroes. They've had different generations of members, recruited in their teens to sing, record, perform everything from rock to pop to Christmas carol compilation LPs. They rehearsed and recorded in the basements underneath Chisinau State Circus, an abandoned Soviet monument to entertainment where they would freeze in winter and boil in summer. Their leader, impresario, and mentor was Vlad Gorgos.

The first incarnation started in the late 1990s and consisted of a group of kids including Vlad's own son. That band was 'replaced' in 2003 by a new brood of teenagers and students from the Chisinau music academy. They could sing, play instruments, perform - it was a modern day musical circus production line and I truly hope the conditions had improved by then.

It's this second generation of Millenium that found themselves on the second try that TRM had a national final in 2006. I'm not entirely sure which members of the band are on stage as there were more than six of them in the band at the time, but I'm fairly certain that the woman violinist and singer is Olga Gorcinschi. Until very recently one of their members had been a certain Natalia Gordienko - but she had other plans this year...

There was a semi-final and a final on TV. They sang Cred în steaua mea (I Believe in My Star) a turbo-folk fuelled rock workout started by a man cracking a whip. An allusion to their circus based home. It's a song sung by wide-eyed youngsters dreaming of a big, bright futures. They're fit, tanned and profess their belief in love just a little bit too much.

They cruised through the semi-final and the fun, young, vibrant group appealed both to the judges on the jury, who placed them second of the thirteen songs in the final and to the watchers at home who placed them fourth. That put them on seventeen points. Unfortunately for them, the three winners tied for first place, on eighteen points. Millenium were one point away from success!

Or so it seemed. That tie proved problematic for TRM. In order to resolve it, the took the unusual step of cancelling the entire national final after it had happened and scheduling a second one at short notice. They did invite the three bands who won, but only one of them agreed to take part. A completely new slate of another four acts were also invited to join in and it was one of those new acts (including former Millenium member Natalia Gordienko) that won. Obviously there were complaints, accusations of fixing and worse, but the new result stood.

The band were so close! As you might expect for a group managed by others, this wasn't going to be their final attempt and since 2006 they've taken part in two more Moldovan finals and one Romanian one. They've also continued to perform, record and churn out music with a line-up that has increasingly stayed static. Even now their members and former members release music under the Millenium banner. Olga Gorcinschi has even released a single on their YouTube channel within the last two months.

...was no one gonna tell me i genuinely thought she was just a young-looking 45 year old or something.

Natalia Gordienko - Loca

20 мая 2006 года она представляла Молдову вместе с Arsenium и Connect-R с песней «Loca» на конкурсе песни «Евровидение 2006». Песня заняла 20-е место из 24 и набрала 22 балла.Интересно, немного ли вспотели EBU и ERT, когда Наталья в последний раз вышла за ветровой парус, возможно, задаваясь вопросом, вышла ли она голой? Свадебное платье, в котором она появилась, было приятной изюминкой, но оно не помогло Молдове подняться выше 20-го места в Афинах. Европе на самом деле не очень понравилась эта м... Читать дальше »

Spotify Wrapped Starters

43 - Sugar by Natalia Gordienko

She'd told everyone she was fine. Her protection spell had worked perfectly on herself and the few other Asgardians who had ventured into that temple of Aphrodite to avert catastrophe. The day had been saved.

There's nothing unusual at all about the fact her brother has been offworld for quite some time. Or that she's been buzzing with desire for days and has shifted into female form for more experimentation in her quarters in the Tower. Loki is sure she's almost over the worst of it, but it hasn't stopped her from stealing Hawkeye's bow and quiver and calling him up in the night on his private comm.

"Sweet Barton," she purrs through the channel, not caring if JARVIS is monitoring it. "I think I might have something of yours. If you'd like it back, I'm sure there is something you can do for me. Why don't you come over?"

Super Weekend: Moldova

Going into our second day (and undoubtedly most busy) day in this super weekend, we kick off with Moldova and the iconic Etapa Națională selection for their act!

And Moldova will be sending..."In The Middle" by Natalia Barbu!

For the 4th year in a row (or 5th if you count Natalia Gordienko's song in 2020), Moldova has decided to send a returning artist. For one, I like the song, and still do. I look forward to seeing the potential staging for this song (although I did see a snippet of her performance in Etapa Națională and think we're in good hands).

Congratulations, and welcome back, Natalia, and I look forward to seeing this in May!

[tuituipupu]

so we know you love kaarija, he's an icon, like who doesn't love him?? anyways i wanted to know your opinion on the following esc artists:

go_a

vesna

konstrakta

maruv (controversial ooh)

gjon's tears

natalia gordienko

dadi freyr

have a great day/night!

heyyy !! thank you for this ask omg ☺₊◜·°˖˚

yes yes i luv käärijä ^_^ did i mention it once or twice ?? heheh

but yes ok to answer this mini list:

go_a : ICONS. i saw them perform live at the eurovillage 2 weeks ago and i got to join the shum circle !! it was spiritual honestly ~ kateryna is such a queen like she fascinates me so much and she's SO FUNNY too 🇺🇦💙💛

vesna : loved my sister's crown - it was in my top 10 before the shows !! the staging for it wasn't really my thing - i adore pink but i thought the colour palette with the LEDs was too stark in a weird way- loved their braids when they held hands and spun tho ! super effective & emotional - all in all a lovely group of women they seem like !! ♡

konstrakta : another eurovision QUEEN - i would love to talk to her for hours on end and pick her brains. on first listen i didn't get in corpore sano but i came to love it. she's such a treasure.

maruv : well i didn't keep up with national finals when she competed - their song was ok i guess i was never wild about it. i don't really know the situation? so i'll just leave it there -

gjon's tears : aaaaa honestly in 2021 i didn't really like tout l'univers all that much but it only randomly clicked with me last year lol. i much prefer his other music (his song 'pure' is my favourite !!) haven't heard his new album in full yet but i went through a short-lived phase of obsessing over his music at the end of last year & he's on my radar hahah.

natalia gordienko : kind of indifferent on this one tbh like sugar was... ok?? it was better than her 2020 song. yeah.

dadi freyr : LEGENDDDDDDD. i wanna just talk to him for hours on end too! he seems like such a smart guy and not to mention funny of course! in my mind he won esc 2020. also i adore his new atomic kitten cover of 'whole again' that he performed in the eurovision interval this year ~ that went straight on my playlist heheh <33

thank you so much for these again !! 💖

violent thing - a playlist about falling in lust despite your better judgment and falling in love despite all common sense

push up to my body, sink your teeth into my flesh // say you're gonna pick me up, never gonna put me down// made out on the floor, you can blame it on the jack // i feel the blood go rushing miles from my head, so i hope you can forgive the way i'm acting // fucked me over, now you're all i'm thinking of // outside doesn't matter to us, we'll go somewhere quiet and far away // closer than your clothes were, now they're on the floor // i'm losing track cause baby we don't stop, is it your turn or my turn to be on top? // there's always been a disconnect, running from my heart to my head // i'll close every door, every door, if it means i can keep on holding you now // my friends were right, i've been trying to say it out loud, now the secret's out and i will never shut my mouth about it // in my civilization you're the king and the queen, i'm prayin' at your altar if you know what i mean // pay my penance any way i can, gotta let me love you right // even though it hurts, i just wanna be a criminal with you, a criminal with you, we're criminals

reflections from the 2nd semifinal

why is yulia's outfit lowkey giving maneskin

damn hannah is really the nikkie of 2023, she's so tall?? edit: lmao it's partially because yulia is 5'5

listening to reiley is like eating pure sugar, it's bad for you, makes you sick, and only children like it.

WTF IS DADI FREYR DOING HERE??

future lover is nice and she sang it really well, but the lyrics are so baddd, they don't match brunette's vibe at all

theodor needs to calm the hell down this instant, who let this horny teenager at eurovision?? the lyrics scare me tbh.

DID I MENTION THAT MY FATHER WAS IN THE ROOM NEXT TO ME. HE HEARD ALL THAT.

alika stan <3

the vocals make me so happy, this is the only ballad i'll allow

also the piano, how the fu-

obsessed with gustaph, he, konstrakta, and natalia gordienko are the midde aged gay icons of 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively

young graham norton was... something

OH MY GOD IT'S SCOOCH

cyprus' song was boring at first but it got slightly more interesting, my guess is nq tho, the note on the first chorus was quite iffy

dilja did so good, def a bop

victor was shaky and he is dressed like a boy scout, but he's also really young, so his wardrobe transgressions are (mostly) forgiven.

also he looks like a male version of jerry heil and i don't like it

i've said it before but why do i lowkey want blanka to qualify??

did they revamp it or something? it's better than before-

p i n k f a r t .

damn, underwhelming dance break too?

joker out ate and left zero crumbs

it's giving potential winner?!?!?!?!

i would honestly be good with ljubljana 2024

i love iru but what is that fake workout sequence

beginning staging is giving amanda tenfjord?

wtf is happening to the audio??????

not me thinking that chamgaragara actually meant something in georgian-

everyone is clowning on the lyrics but the actual song is so good

also, the hosts are so pretty, hannah especially slayed

teya and salena AAAAAAATTTTTTTEEEEEEE

lithuania healed my soul

aussies got an entire car. thats it everyone can go home. they win.
