I have liked the last two entries from Romania therefore I want to watch the NF this time round :)

The Romanian national selection is very strong this year. I particularly like:

1. Dalma - I'm running - catchy song CC Catch might have sung in the '80s, beautiful voice and stage persona:

http://www.youtube.c(...)&feature=related

2. Alexandra Ungureanu - Crazy - probably the best voice that will be heard in Oslo, awesome chick-rock song

http://www.youtube.c(...)&feature=related

although I prefer the clubbing anthems she sings together with Crush

http://www.youtube.c(...)&feature=related

3. Paula Seling & Ovi - Playing with fire - Paula is incredibly beautiful and, what is even more rare, an incredibly beautiful voice, which this Melodifestivalen schlager brings out quite nicely

http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=VRy5SLLB4MM

4. Tina G - Love is war - memorable rock piece sung by quite a scenic and fierce artist

http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=fJi9X9kQAz0

5. Luminita & co - Save their lives - a contemporary version of We Are the World

http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=lNQ0p7wfKss

But I also like Zero - Lay me down and Catalin - Around around, although they had better songs last year. Sunny days was truly amazing:

Good luck to all the contestants. I will try to watch the Romanian final in parallel with the Melodifestivalen, so make sure you do it too :)

I think fans really underrate Romanian NF this year and that's not fair at all! :( :(
Romania is trying hard very much this year IMO and they should at least respect that! :S
Nobody is interested in Romanian NF now, but I think they will all be :O :O when see Romania in TOP 5 in Oslo! :D
Good luck neighbors! ;) :)

This year we don't have problems with how the voice will sound live because all participants have great,great voices. It will
be a hard choice for Romania this year because there are many good songs !


1. Razvan Krivach-Jack Pott ( awesome song, great voice,very original i say too original for eurovision so is not going
to win :(()
http://www.youtube.c(...)&feature=related

2. Paula & ovi- Playing with fire ( very good song and voice but has a plus because they can make a better show than Luminita)
http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=Cw35fIXHaNk

3. Luminita -Save their lives -great live
http://www.youtube.c(...)&feature=related

Catalin had a great songlast year and he did try too many things instead of just singing it. He was breatheless and struggling to carry the song. What a pity! I hope tonight he won´t make the same mistakes. I really like Jack Pott, but I doubt it will make an impact live. So all my hopes are on Come along, which is different (ok it´s not much of an explanation, I know) and so nice and catchy. Let´s wait for the live performance. (H) Surrender is also good. Playing with fire sounds fine till the instrumental part that´s a real meehhh. Pls, pls, pls, no silly save their lives! (S)

I like come as one, playing with fire, come along , love is war and I'm running and around around is nice but his song last year was better.

Anda Adam feat. Connect R. FTW!! (L)
I quite like Paula feat. Khamara and Dalma as well! :D
Down with Luminitha, her song is bad this year, and she participated in ESC already (S), It's time for Anda Adam to represent Romania, it will be justice, she 's so popular in Romania now! :D
Gooooo Anda! ;)

I'm Running, Playing with fire or Around Around please.


But I have to say Cătălin would probably be the most entertaining and fun to see in Eurovision because of his cool performance, lol. He looked like some sort of Charlie Chaplin character and he looks so tiny and cute, lol.


The only ones I'd like if they won;

1. Zero
2. Alexa
3. Lulu & The Puppets
4. Cătălin Josan
5. Tina G

I'm also starting to appreciate the weirdness of Răzvan Krivach.

I feel pretty sure the winner will be either Anda or Luminita & co.

Catalin for Oslo

i prefer Alexandra Ungureanu!!!!

I'm supporting Dalma in this final. I've listened to 'I'm Running' a few times and i think it would be the ideal song to get Romania back into the top 10. Luminita's song was a major anticlimax for me, unlike 'Let Me Try' which was amazing! Good luck Romania!
