Posted November 11, 201014 yr Bucharest, Romania - The Romanian broadcaster, TVR, has announced the 13 finalists of their national selection for the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest. Doing it some 5 days earlier than planned, TVR released the lucky 13-name list of the songs that will be competing for the opportunity to represent their country at Europe's favourite TV-show next year. The chosen ones are as follows (with points by the professional jury) Hotel FM - Change - 97 points Written by Gabriel Băruţă Direcţia 5 - Cinema Love - 97 points Written by Marian Ionescu Laurentiu Cazan - We Can Change The World - 90 points Written by Laurenţiu Cazan Bogdan Dima - Bang Bang - 89 points Written by Mihai Alexandru Elena Leticia Moisescu - Dreaming Of You - 89 points Written by Play And Win Dan Helciug - My Facebook Girl - 89 points Written by Dan Helciug Dragoş Chircu + Anthony Ikwuagwu Uchenna - Open Your Eyes - 89 points Written by Cristian Faur Jakab Noemi, Miciu Elena, Stamiloiu Cristina - Take Me Down - 86 points Written by Berehoi Alexandru, Sergiu Gelu Ene Blaxy Girls - It's So Fine - 83 points Written by Costi Ioniţă Adrian Cristescu - One By One - 82 points Written by Adrian Cristescu Dalma Kovacs - Song For Him - 82 points Written by Liviu Elekes Silvia Ştefănescu - I Can't Breathe Without You - 81 points Written by Elvin Dandel Claudia Pavel - I Want U To Want Me - 80 points Written by Andrei Filip, Johan Kjell Fransson, Pontus Mats Assarsson, Mikael Tim Larsson, Tobias Lundgren Lars Among the names of the composers we find Play And Win, a dance-music trio which are some of the leading music producers in Romania, responsible, for example, for the international hits of Inna and we also find Cristian Faur, who wrote Romania's entry in 2005 Let Me Try for Luminita Anghel & System and came 3rd in the Final in Kiev. Some of the artists also return to Selecţia Naţionala, like Hotel FM, Laurentiu Cazan, Blaxy Girls or Dalma. This year, Romania will have their national selection on the last hours of 2010 and the first hours of 2011. The show itself will be hosted by their 2010 entrants, Ovi and Paula Seling. The winning composer will be awarded this time a BMW series 3. It is for the second year that the national selection winner - the composer - gets a car. Romania's entry, Playing With Fire, finished third in Oslo, giving the nation their best placing ever at Europe's favourite TV-show. Can't wait to see what (Claudia) Pavel have to offer, looks like alot of Swedish names there :kink:
November 11, 201014 yr Oh God, a song with the word 'facebook' in the title :drama: But I'm really looking forward to hearing the song written by Play & Win :o
November 11, 201014 yr Oh Romania, pretty decent entry last year although still not great comparing to the ones of 2006 and especially 2005 <3 And don't get me started on Balkan Girls and that mostrosity Nico & Vlad sang.
November 11, 201014 yr Oh Romania, pretty decent entry last year although still not great comparing to the ones of 2006 and especially 2005 <3 And don't get me started on Balkan Girls and that mostrosity Nico & Vlad sang. Is it 2011 already? :o :kink: Edited November 11, 201014 yr by Jack Pilgrim
November 11, 201014 yr Play And Win :o :wub: Is Elena the girl on the original version of Inna - Deja Vu?
November 12, 201014 yr The Play & Win song is play and lose, frankly. Dull, dull, dull :snif: I'm too depressed to check out the rest now.
November 14, 201014 yr Blaxy Girls have been trying to get to ESC several times. Also Claudia Pavel name is somewhat recognisable to me :o
November 14, 201014 yr Really like the Claudia Pavel track. And most of the songs on the selection are good, they might be the eastern european Sweden. They know how to make good pop music.
November 14, 201014 yr Edward Maya co-wrote Tornero! I think I mentioned that before on here but it's certainly an interesting fact! My favourite Romanian entry was probably Nicola's Don't Break My Heart (how Bomfunk MC's was it though!?!), Playing With Fire or Let Me Try. All are solid and great!
November 14, 201014 yr I've liked all their entries except the 2007 one. Portugal has been VERY generous towards Romania in votings: 2004 Sanda Ladosi - I Admit Romania 4pts 2005 Luminita Anghel & Sistem - Let Me Try Romania 12pts 2006 Mihai Traistariu - Tornero Romania 10pts 2007 Todomondo - I Love You Romania 7pts 2008 Nico & Vlad - Pe-O Margine De Lume Romania 4pts 2009 Elena Gheorghe - The Balkan Girls Romania 2pts (juri didnt vote for it) 2010 Paula Seling & Ovi - Playing With Fire Romania 10pts
November 14, 201014 yr I didn't like the 2007 or 2008 entries but I like all of the others. I Admit was ok but got overshadowed by a similar routine but far stronger song (imo) from Sweden's Lena Phillipsson, who either performed right after or right before her (can't remember)
November 14, 201014 yr 2005 >>> 2006 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2007 >>>>>>> 2010 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2008 >>>>...(infinity) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2009 Don't remember the 2004 entry :lol:
November 15, 201014 yr 2005 Let Me Try - Luminita Anghel & System <3 That was great. As was Tornero :wub: Too true
November 18, 201014 yr Balken Girls was incredible, still is. :wub: Playing With Fire however :wub: :heart: :wub: Utterly sublime. I'm just discovering how amazing the Romanian music scene is
