Hungarys song is worse than this song in my opinion, I think hungary is the song where I will go and put the kettle on.

Voltaj gave an amazing performance in the SF, Romania was actually the only country I voted for yesterday. :D And even 2 times!
So happy with the qualification, that was totally deserved! xcheer

And of course I'll also vote for Romania in the Grand Final! And hope for a great result.

I love the song so much, I cheer for Romania as if it was my country! xheart :lol:

I even cooked some traditional Romanian meals to support Voltaj (I've had some kind of tradition since 2013 - cooking traditional meals of the country, which I cheer for at Eurovision).:lol:

I love this I think it's such a beautiful song :) I worry that it may get overshadowed tomorrow and do badly, but from me it's 8 points :)

I'm glad Romania qualified, everything else is a Bonus. It could get a good amount of jury support but that's about it. As it looks like right now, I think that Voltaj will continue the tradition of Romania ending somewhere in the middle

My prediction: 19th place

Did they forgot to powder his forehead or is that part of his look?

Really nice song song and a beautiful performance both in the semi and in the final. It deserved to qualify and end in top 15. The only thing I am sad about is that they didn't sing the whole song in Romanian, as it would've made it stand out even more.

What's the story with the boy here? I thought he was only an actor in the video but obviously not because he was there in the audience?

From what I know he is part of the campaign, he came with them because his parents actually live in Viena. The video is made with parts from a documentary, in which the real story of the boy left behind in Romania is told. Calin said in an interview there was pure coincide that his parents where from Austria, the documentary was filmed before Conchita won.

^ wow, that's an amazing coincidence!!!
Such a sweet boy :D I loved that they had him in the audience.

As for Romania finishing 15th, I was disappointed. I thought they were definitely Top Ten material and I voted for them many times. Great singing, great song, love that it was mostly in Romanian, beautiful language. Unfortunately there were SO many really good entries this year that pipped others out of the water. Very strong year overall.

Time for me to review the Romanian song this year :D

Voltaj - All over again
Status: Nice :)

Song: First of all, I have to say MAJOR KUDOS to Romania for singing most of the song in Romanian - thank you because it sounds so much better and it should have been sung entirely in your language imo - and MAJOR KUDOS for bringing such a poignant subject matter on the table: the very sad situation lots of people from Romanian diaspora face because men and women are forced to go, live and work abroad to earn money for their family while their grandparents and children are unfortunately left alone in Romania. Even though I'm not Romanian by any means, this is a theme that moves me a lot, I've watched lots of documentaries about it and that situation truly saddens me :( So again thank you for talking about it in music. Now musically, I think the melody is rather nice, the arrangements are very simple and the chorus is of course the most striking part of the song. I don't know why but, even if I liked it a lot when I first listened to it, I feel like the more I listen to it, the less it appeals to me. xshrug which is a shame considering the theme of the song.

Voice: I like the singer's voice and one can tell he's experienced. I guess it serves the purpose of the entry. But he should have definitely scrapped the last part in English, which is underwhelming to me. Apart from that, his performances were really good, nothing more to add. :)

Staging: I loved the pictures in the background, I felt touched when watching it :(

Outcome: Not a bad result actually, yes it's mid-scoreboard but I expected it to bomb like Cyprus and Hungary tbh. So I'm rather glad for them because I totally dig the theme even though I like the music less and less. So no wonder Romania is kinda low in my personal ranking :( Nonetheless, it was a great effort from Romania. I guess no one expected ballads from Romania and Greece this year :D Well, see you next year Romania xcheer
