esctoday.com national final awards 2010
The 2010 esctoday.com National Final Awards will be held between April and May, which means between the national final season and the Eurovision Song Contest. We will repeat the same format with two rounds for nominations which was used this year - you can read how it works here. However, this time the individual polls for each country will always be held right after the national final, when the entries are still fresh. You can vote for your favourite performance not to qualify in the Romanian national final here and for your favourite song not to qualify here.
In 2009, Romania was represented by Elena Georghe, who finished ninth in the first semi final and 19th in the final her song The Balkan girls. In 2010, the country will compete in the second semi final of the Eurovision Song Contest on 27th May.

12 points from Moldova!!!!!!
the make-up is giving this impression:-)) but Paula is a beautifull woman and usually is verry natural.. she wanted to look as "bad " girl lol
LOOOOOL Paula really looks like MJ!! 
lovely song... lovely girl ... hope they will have a good place
At first glance I thought that there was Michael Jackson sitting. Then I realized that it was Paula singing. Good luck, Romania!
Is terrible, bad. Worts than the last year, and the last year was the worst song.
The on scene action and performance is good...but the song...uhhhmmm it leaves too much to desire.
It's ok. Not as good as Belgium, Ireland or Croatia. I'm sure it'll make it to the final no problem...
Marcus i totaly disagree.Geat so great LIVE PERFORMANCe.We cant say this about the finish song thats shit.
This is one of the worst songs in 2010!
I think people don"t know that linguists agreed on the existence of the EURO-English and like to brag about their native-English superiority. Listen to the music and stop complaining about pronounciation, this is not the European Lingua Contest it is about music! And the song is just gorgeorus, you"ll have it in your head years from now, I promise you!
Well I think this is fantastic.
Why doesn't Romania send INNA or Andreea Banica??
Especially INNA will take 12 points from a lot of Countries. She is so popular in the Europe.
Romania has to offer INNA...
Of course the romanians like it, they send it, right. And the guy is living in Norway. And the song is not a ballad. But for the rest of us... it's just bad music. And some of us DO care about the lyrics and about quality music, even in ESC.
GIRL GIRL GIRL, BOY BOY BOY,HAHAHAHA WHAT A HORRIBLE SONG, MORE HORRIBLE IS IMPOSIBLE,0 POINTS
I love this song
http://www.youtube.c(...)ture=player_embedded
they are going to revamp the song 
I love it. OK, the song itself is a nice, but usual, catchy tune, but I really like the fact that they're both playing piano, which adds a particular touch to it, and the fact that at first this makes you think of a completely different kind of tune, while, as they start singing, they take you by surprise.
Paula's voice is amazing! A winner? Well, compared to the other entries until now, it could be.
It´s kind of funny that so many have such a good year to detect bad accent and poor lyrics, specially non-native English speakers. Wow! I´m glad noone can hear my poor accent. Anyway, the song is nice. I´m not keen on the piano thing, but they do inject energy into their singing.
And I guess that Francisco MAD would better take his canary to the Portuguese snoozzzee Festival where it would receive a warmer welcome than that portuguese screaming girl. Or is it that she screams because she wearing a wrong size dress??
jane fowler go take a break ! take a kit kat! cause we don't care what you say...
Ovidiu Cernauteanu (a.k.a. Ovi) is a Romanian artist active in the Norwegian music industry since 1995.
Really? Because the only things I find about him are some songs without succes in MGP Norway, and one CD from last year that was a flop.
This song is for short minded people.
Boring. And sounds EXACTLY li Anouk-"Girl" on the vers! How is that possible???
Shockingly bad. Boy and girl screaming at each-other, But sadly par for the course for most Romanian entries.
Al Bano Carrisi & Paula Seling - Felicita
