VOLTAJ TO REPRESENT ROMANIA!

Yihuuuu! Voltaj has won Selecția Națională and therefore will fly the Romanian flag in Vienna. Luminiţa Anghel came 2nd. I did love her song but we didn't need another ballad in Vienna, did we? It's unknown whether Voltaj will sing in Romanian or English for Eurovision, but I hope it'll stick in Romanian. Beautiful song. The full results:

Romania: National final to be held tonight!

The Romanians will select their song tonight. Twelve acts are in the the running and it's a rather weak line-up.. My favourite by far is Voltaj. I'd be thrilled if they won. It's a strong song and would make a fantastic entry for Romania! Will they select it? Who knows... My 2nd choice would be Luminita Anghel and my 3rd choice would be Lara Lee. The others didn't really leave a lasting impression on me. Here's the line-up for tonight:

1. Voltaj – De la capat
2. Baietii – Dragoste in lanturi
3. Tudor Turcu – Save Us
4. Aurelian Temisan feat. Alexa – Chica Latina
5. Rodica Aculova – My Light
6. Blue Noise – Love Won’t Run Away
7. Ovidiu Anton – Still Alive
8. Lara Lee – Superman
9. Super Trooper – Secret Place
10. Luminita Anghel – A Million Stars
11. Cristina Vasiu – Nowhere
12. CEJ – We Were In Love

Romania: Line-up for national final revealed!

The twelve names that'll compete in the Romanian national final have been revealed today. Luminiţa Anghel is back once again. She represented Romania back in 2005 - and also entered the Romanian selections in 2010 and 2013, although wasn't as lucky on either occasions. Will she return to Eurovision exactly ten years after her previous participation? Rodica Aculova didn't have much luck in Moldova so is trying in Romania instead - I like her song very much and wouldn't mind seeing her fly the Romanian flag in Vienna. Here's the full line-up for Romania's national final on 8th March:

• Rodica Aculova – My Light
• Luminita Anghel – A Million Stars
• Ovidiu Anton – Still Alive
• Baietii – Dragoste In Lanturi
• Blue Noise – Love Won’t Run Away
• CEJ – We Were In Love
• Lara Lee – Superman
• Alexa & Aurelian Temisan – Chica Latina
• Super Trooper – Secret Place
• Tudor Turcu – Save Us
• Cristina Vasiu – Nowhere
• Voltaj – De La Capat
