Romania: Mihai Traistariu for Eurovision 2009?

After representing Romania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens, Mihai 's career has grown rapidly. Mihai Traistariu has now, officially, got record deals for 15 countries in Europe. Companies like Warner Brothers, Jupiter Records, Planet Works,Vale Music etc signed record contracts with Mihai for 3 to 5 years.
A few weeks ago a record company from the UK came to Romania and signed with Mihai a contract for 3 years. They will start promoting Mihai in May this year.
His stage name is going to be, simply, MIHAI, and begining in May - he will come for a week or a month to London to appear in Television Shows, take part in interviews for newspapers, photo-shootings and do video promotions.
He also will start to take some English lessons while in the UK, especially phonetics. Mihai studied the English language for about 12 years in school and University, but as this is the UK, according to Mihai it's very difficult to start a music career there without knowing the spoken language. He will have a choreographer who will teach him to dance and will have some designers and stylists who will show him some of their secrets.
His career in the UK will start, of course, with "Tornero," the song which shot him to fame in so many charts in Europe and will continue with his new album, ready to be released now in 15 countries. Mihai's new album is called "Love is..." and the first videoclip will show an up-tempo song with Spanish and English lyrics .
Mihai also has started preparing some songs for Eurovision 2009.
He wants to compete again next year, to try and win for Romania, who has yet to win Eurovision. Therefore now, he would like to make an announcment that every composer who's interested in giving Mihai a strong song for Eurovision 2009 to get in contact.

Mihai has the best male voice from Romania.
His song " Tornero " was the best ( I guess ) in Athens - 2006.

I still think he is one of the few artists from Romania who can win Eurovision.

I wish good luck to Mihai !

I hardly wait to see him in ESC 2009 !

Go Mihai !

Mihai :) has a great voice. His participation
at the ESC 2006 ATHENS was really impressive
and he certainly made his mark, placing 4th with
Romania's entry "Tornero".

Now, he has returned ...
Good luck!

I think quite a few entries over the years have sung in English without being able to fully understand it ;-)

Well he'd certainly be a better Romanian export to the UK than the Cheeky Girls, he can sing at least - not that it matters much.

Ohh, that's great news! Everybody remembers him excelent song from Athens in 2006! It's good way and style of romanian entries in eurovision (dance) - not like in 2007 and in this year (but Pe-o margine de lume is nice). ROMANIA = DANCE

Allright... calm down... may we finish the 2008 competition at least?
