It would be interesting to hear Cezar sing:

Fiction Factory - Feels like Heaven
Robin Stjernberg - You
Freddie Mercury & Montserat Caballe - Barcelona
Alphaville - Forever Young

:lol: xmusic

And when I said earlier (much earlier) that Cezar will qualify, nobody believed me :p (just like Moldova 2011, where I was one of the few people who predicted their qualification :D ).

I personally don't like his vocals, but the song is good and it deserved the position it got. The choreography was also great.

Cezar was trending for days after eurovision. The word Denmark trended for a few hours, Cezar until yesterday.

The thing is- we expected not to qualify before the rehearsals. I hated the song and I still think it's bad and don't like it, but it was by far our best stage performance,well, after 2010 and 2005. It was memorable, not messy, there was a show, there were shocking seem to be naked dancers, it was a freakin circus on stage and people loved it.

Romanian eunuch Cezar was the clear stand-out act, not least because he appeared to be singing in front of a load of giant red condoms which had been hung on a washing line to dry.

Dracula reborn with a techno beat and pyrotechnics: that's Cezar. The contra-tenor famed for international opera productions is attempting a crossover opera-pop number with "It's My Life." The result: A man with a powerful voice amid a bizarre spectacle
fox43tv

This year, the performer who following that latter route was Cezar Ouatu, a Romanian, who sang a song called “It’s My Life.” It wasn’t so much that the song’s lyrics were breathtakingly generic (“Love is so deep/And it makes my life complete/Like a mountain in the sky/Love is high, so high,” one verse went), as much as it was his jaw-dropping performance: operatic vocals delivered with a manic intensity, a costume straight out of a low-budget ’50s sci-fi movie, and staging that put dancers where you’d least expect them.
I share that video, not to be the object of derision, but as an attempt to demonstrate the strange wonder that this hugely popular show offers each and every year. It’s performances like Cezar’s—ones that should be terrible, but are almost awe-inspiring in some indescribable way—that make Eurovision what it is; a bizarre (yet thoroughly enjoyable) affirmation of the power of pop music.

The 2013 Eurovision song contest had its finals this weekend, and crowned their newest awful euro-pop winer. Emmelie de Forest of Denmark won this year, while heavily buzzed-aboutBonnie Tyler finished a lowly 19th. Bonnie Tyler’s entry created quite a stir in the music press, with many predicting that the Welsh singer (most known for her 1980′s hit “Total Eclipse of the Heart”) would bring victory back to the UK for the first time since 1997.
The Eurovision contest is sort of a hilarious annual spectacle- it reminds us not to complain about our own American pop music, because the continent of Europe has it much worse!! Our favorite entry however, was Romania’s Cezar; pure eurotrash heaven

And, pyrotechnics. I have questions: Supposedly he is an opera singer, but.... I mean, was he lip-synching to someone else, and that was part of the gimmick? Jessica posited that Cezar would never lie about his range, but as I noted, he DID lie about his HEIGHT. Surely he can't have been faking because that wouldn't be allowed, but... it was hypnotic. I wanted it to stop and yet also needed it to go on forever. He placed thirteenth, which I think is one big reason why theatrics are trending down: People think you can't win unless you're performing as a barefoot waif with piper.

Fug and Fab the Eurovision Song Contest Romania: Cezar, singing "It's My Life"



His song has millions of views on youtube,everyone is talking about him ...


About the jury vote- franckly, as a jury, I wouldn't vote for this.I'm just being honest,sorry. But the thing with the Italian and Spanish jury is not that they didn't vote for this because they didn't like the song or the performance but because they expected this opportunity to give us 0 points. And don't try to say it's not like this, we're not stupid.
This contest is already too messed up so I'm glad we at least qualified without help, just on our own.

Right xcrazy well, that's your view. For me it proved they've got some taste. I'm horrified this ended up in 13th place but it seems there's always room in ESC for bizarre circus. Same thing with :by: I guess, they were the only ones with a certain style and therefore they got all the votes from the people who like those types of music/performance.

Pull that stick out of your ass. The internet is in love with Cezar! :D

So? xshrug So did it with Verka and other acts and you will see them in every single broadcast whose intention is to hurt the contest's reputation. That's a fact.

Romania never sent something to hurt the contest's repoutation darling. Neither Verka hurt the contest's reputation, but act like Rodolfo Chikilicuarte it really hurts. Cezar was unique and powerfull, Verka was funny, but so fucking awsome while your Rodolfo wanted to be funny but ended to be what you try to say about some memorable acts in Eurovision history. God, please start sending songs and voices like Pastora Soler and then to talk about bad imagine others do to Eurovision.

I'll speak about what I fuc*ing want as long as I'm respectful to others. Stop taking it so seriously for ****'s sake. I'm not atacking Verka for example (I ended up liking it!) but that's what the average audience think (not the fans like us)

Just wanted to add: I'm definitely not your darling and Chikilicuatre is definitely not "my Rodolfo". Bad move there, because I obviously disliked that entry,

Very respectful, indeeed. I also say my opinion. And I don't visit Spanish thread everyday to tell you how awful your song was this year. Better watch on your side and come to tell us your superior opinion after what you will clean there everything bad that Spain did to Eurovision starting with first act of coruption in Eurovision and ending with zero points for the winner of televoting in 2013 along with only 8 points and 24th place.

I am here every day, oh really? That's not true, but even if I wanted to, I have a right to speak out my mind. Don't tell me what to do please, that's so ridiculous and inmature. Anyone can have an opinion on things and I can't speak about this song because we've done worse? I'm laughing my ass off right now, seriously.

Hmm, when someone attacks us seriously, we answer seriously.

[/QUOTE]
Hypocrite, you said that someone would show Verka's show to hurt the image of the competition.
So you're God now? Knowing what people are thinking? Maybe they want to show something different, crazy, full of life and madness and they even like it in a way.

I don't like Cezar's song. I won't listen it again, I won't listen at the radio cuz we don't play it and things like that.But it was our song, I respect the people who voted for this and so you should.We deservedly qualified this year and placed high.Not another bland ballad about love and happiness and feelings but show+ voice+ dracula image+ craziness.Full shock=succes.

Look, good for you if people liked it, I mean it! But that's what I see every year, acts like these, which outstand for being "too bombastic", a joke for some, glittery, original (whatever a person thinks it is) they may be a hit on Youtube, let's say, but I see how some media use them to critisice the contest (just like Verka or Chikilicuatre for instance) and that's all I was saying before you came to bite my neck!

Don't you call me hypocrite again.

Did I said that you should not say your opinion? This is what I do also. I give you answer to your acusations and I try to be respectfull with you even if you start using una idioma de barrio. But in your place at Spain just did with the televoting I will not dare to make these acusation in this thread now. It is shamefully for TVE.

What will be Eurovision without these acts? There is the spirit of Eurovision and with acts like that it survived 58 years.

The Romanian song wasn't doing well in polls if you check Spanish forums and stuff, so it's not necesarily surprising our jury didn't like it xshrug You might have got some votes with the old system but the new one worked different. That said, I wouldn't bet for any TV nor any country this year, with so many corruption rumours :?

Yes, and I hope it lasts so many more! I can't help liking some of them, I agree with you here.

I think what Celia is trying to say that when you'll watch some reports making fun of the contest, you'll see Rodolfo from Spain, the turkey from Ireland, We are the winners from Lithuania and Cezar most likely will be shown along with those acts.

I watched the shows with several Americans this week after I came back and it was interesting. While quite a few people said they hated it, a few said it's so bad and over the top.....they love it.
I think that's what this entry is all about.
