Romania Romania



I see nothing special here, just low-grade pop pimping for votes. It's trying to tick quite a few boxes. There's a little Lady Gaga @ 1:05, 1:57 and 3:00. Then there's some attempt at operatics @ 2:06.

She is a cross between Katie Price and Michael Jackson. Make-up applied with a builder's trowel and a designer nose modelled from a manga comic.

Romania have a strong qualifying history so I see no problems. One thing going for this song is the fact that it's upbeat and uplifting; so easily memorable.

Re: Romania

What the fook is wrong with Europe?! I dont hate it but its completely spoilt by the ridiculous stage nonsense with the two pianos...ffs. And. What. The. Fuck. Is. She. Wearing? Who makes these decisions? Jesus fookin wept.

Yeah, agree as usual gav...probably a qualifier as its memorable in enough ways.

Re: Romania

Beanie, I'm becoming more fond of this for some reason. I'm getting crazy ideas that this song is so infectious, it may be borderline top5. Now either I'm right, or I need some more medication before I do something silly.

Re: Romania

I hope it doesn't qualify. I really do. I find it embarrassing and stupid. Eastern Europeans trying to be.... mainstream; it almost always comes out rotten and ridiculous. These two need slapped. Severely. With a baseball bat.

Whooooooah!!! I just got to her operatic bit at 2:07. This is as bad as Eurovision gets for me. I'm not sure I can take another year of this shit.

Your medication is on the top shelf btw, gavin.

Re: Romania

No. This is exactly how I would set up a comedy sketch to take the piss out of eastern european countries at eurovision. Sadly, this is actually REAL!!!

Re: Romania


I still think this has potential. I might just jump on before the odds evaporate!

Re: Romania

To win? I'll wish you luck then, gavin (boy, boy, boy, will you need it). I think it's utterly woeful but I thought that about Azerbaijan last year which ended up with plenty of votes from the folks at home. Azerbaijan was streets ahead of this though. As was almost everything else from the last 40 years.

No, not to win. Top 10. Currently 3.75.

Re: Romania

Biggest battle for this could be to qualify in the first place - it looks marginal as it stands and all depends on how the juries react to having so many ballads in the one semi. I think this will get through as the stage show is potentially striking and the song is different to the rest.

Prospects for the final, not sure - but if it prospers in a semi with so many ballads then it might prosper in a final with even more. Not sure.

Re: Romania

I thought this was being well received in all honesty. This was one of my potential sneaky top 10 bets!

Re: Romania

Agree with you Beanie, this song isnt that strong but the double piano trick might save them to get through, but I can't see this going anywhere in the finals.

Re: Romania


Much depends on the camera angles for this to work, but the performance was great. I didn't hear a single bum note. I think this has more top10 potential than the bookies are suggesting.

Re: Romania

Top 10 potential in the 2nd semi maybe but I think this won't even qualify. Sooo boring

Re: Romania

Are you joking? This is another one I like. Lots of energy! I'd say this is a certain qualifyer (like around the 80% mark)!

The bookies have it a 5.00 for top-10, I think that's a little generous. There have been bigger shocks in years gone by.
