This is the running order for the two semifinals. EBU annpunced it today and Romania is going to perform seccond in the seccond semi-final. Meh :/ They could have decided a better position for us . But this is Eurovision and we have to comply.  Rybak has the tough task to open the seccond semi-final. It will be a good opener, but I think it will get lost. Maybe the fact that he won the contest in 2009 with a huge popular song will help him qualify, but you never know with Eurovision. We also have Russia back in the contest and it is going to be an interesting come back to whatch. For the moment, he sure qua

The time has come, after 5 semifinal shows , to crown the winner for Romania. THE HUMANS won Selectia nationala 2018, in a Grand Final that took place at Sala Polivalenta in Bucharest. TVR managed to organize an amazing show, and I can tell you, that in the audience, we felt like it was the real Eurovision. Congratz TVR for that!. The opening was an incredible contemporary dance number choreographed by two of the most beloved dancers in Romania: Bogdan Boanta and Cocuta. We loved the number they did on a modernized folk romanian music....just amazing ;) Ilinca had an intervention halfway through the

The 4th semifinal from Selectia Nationala 2018 took place last night in the spectacular Salina Turda, a very old salt mine dating back from around 1200 BC.  TVR managed to secure this location for the 4th semifinal, and what a great idea it was. Visualy it looked stuning, and we are glad that Europe got the chance to witness this once in a life time event for TVR.  As far as the semifinal itself, we admit it was not the best of the 4 so far. Some very poor songs competed last night, among of course some good ones who stood out and won the 3 sports in the final. The outcome was as expected without many surpr
