Yesterday we informed you about the full list of artists competing at the Etapa Națională 2024. And only a day after their reveal, first act made the decision not to take part at the contest. The management of Aliona Moon and Ludmila Danilceac (Milla) requested TRM to withdraw the performers without publicly revealing the reasons behind that decision.

Aliona Moon and Milla were set to perform “Obosit” at the second stage of the contest, the live auditions, which is set to take place at TRM studio on 13th of January. TRM did not state whether any other song will be replacing the act so it is expected that the total of 31 acts will compete at the live auditions. The 10 out 31 acts with the highest scores will advance to the grand final of Etapa Națională 2024 which is set to take place on 17th of February.  The winner of the show be selected by 50% of the jury votes and 50% of the audience votes.

Aliona Moon already represented Moldova at Eurovision 2013 when she scored a total of 71 points which took “O Mie” to the 11th place in the Grand Final of the show.
