Re: ROMÂNIA - Romania 2011
sorry i had to say it. i am tired of the mafia in romania coordinating every aspect of everyday life.
if they would do it on any other day and actually allow our superstars to compete we could actually have a chance to win
Yes, was stupid from TVR to put the final on the night between years. I thought that they have a winner song for Dusseldorf and that they want to be sure that there will be no competition for it... but I see no song able to win in Dusseldorf. We also should think at the strong economical crisis from here and to try to understand TVR. They will do two jobs that need enough money in one single event. It is good that we still participate. I was afraid to not have a "surprise" like this. Also, you say that there are no big names, but there are more big names than in previous years.
1. Adrian Cristescu is one from the most aprecieted young composers. He also had some songs til now and even colaborations with Andra (the most loved Romanian singer).
2. Dalma is already a name at her 3rd participation and her colaboration with Divertis.
3. Leticia is a new name in our music stage.
4. Silvia Stefanescu is a well know name between musicians here. She prefered to stay back and to sing more quality than comercial music. She is a good friend with Paula Seling. I know her from 1998 from high school.
5. Blaxy Girls don't need anymore any presentation.
6. Claudia Pavel was part of the girl band Candy from 1998. She have a solo career from many years ago and she is a very well know artist, she is a singer from tops, between our "stars".
7. Laurentiu Cazan is old, unfashioned, but also a well know name in Romania. His time to go was in 1993 with "Say Something", a winner song in ESC for that time.
8. Dan Helciug is also known, but also already old. He also has zero chances.
9. Distinto are know enough here from two years ago, Antonio Icuagu is from Insane and Ianna sings with Anca (Asia) and many people knows her.
10. Directia 5 - the bigest name, a succesuful band even before 1990 until our days. They still have hit songs, one from the most loved Romanian bands.
11. Rallsa - I saw these girls few times on tv, they have good voices, but I'm not impresed. Not no names, but also not very known.
12. Hotel FM impresen enough previous year, many musicians like them.
13. Mihai Alexandru the composer of Romania 2002 now sings together with a big name from the ends of 90' Body & Soul.
So, the only new name is Leticia who has one of the best songs in selection, a song made by composers of Inna. Her mother is a known folklore singer here. Anyway, in comparation with previous years now are enough names that I know.
