Romania will most probably break the streak of qualification. It's a pity.

I can't even stand hearing this.

Yes, I totally agree. I think that Romania might miss the final this year.

Re: ROMANIA 2016 - Ovidiu Anton - Moment of Silence

Why they chose This above Vanotek is beyond me. At least :ro: is continuing its inconsistency with me at eurovision :lol:

Can somebody also explain to how This is categorized as Rock?? This comes closer to musical or opera then rock. I honestly believe Ovidiu worked for Disney before he did This contest, he even already has the costume. Seriously This song fits great as a Vilain song in a movie like Alladin 3.

Well, if romania continues their inconsistency then next Year Will be great! :D

Romanian friends! Thank you for supporting Hungary! It is very unusual watching a lot of positive romanian - not transsylvanian - comments below youtube lists. Sorry, but I cannot say to much positive about your entry. Vocally is great - Ovidiu Anton has excellent and strong voice, but on the other hand the song is just a B side track of rockopera from 80's. Meat Loaf would love it. :(

Romania is doing amazingly badly in many polls..... I can't really understand it. It's true, this is not the best entry of Romania, but it has already qualified with songs that were a lot weaker imo.

This song is easily at the very bottom of my rankings.

Re: ROMANIA 2016 - Ovidiu Anton - Moment of Silence

I don't understand why the song is doing as badly as it is in polls. Sure, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's almost always in the bottom 3 of every poll I see! It's not that bad, is it? :confused:

Hoping for this to somehow make it through to the final - and it's not impossible, since SF2 is the weaker one by far - but I'm not liking its chances.

Re: ROMANIA 2016 - Ovidiu Anton - Moment of Silence

It's not that bad and i actually like it. But i'm afraid it won't qualify. Most people look like they don't want it on final. :(

I am one of that people. This year Romania does not take the contest seriously I hope they will face the consenquencies and in 2017 a quality song will be sent without half naked swordsman and wannabe Meat Loaf. xpuke

The song may not be everyone's cup of tea but I don't know what the criteria is to be considered serious when it comes to Eurovision. Romania has a pretty decent rack record so I'm pretty sure that they're not just messing around. Every year, they put together a NF which we can't say about a lot of other countries. Moment of Silence is very theatrical and dramatic and while it may not work for everyone, I'm pretty sure that Ovidiu takes it very seriously.

Bro, watched this years preselection?

Even Belgium's NF was better, and that's saying much :p

I think it was better than the Belgian and Danish NF. It's subjective of course.

It's not everyone's cup of tea. But why this is not serious? It's a powerful and different song and he has a very good voice.

It's not serious because it's dated stuff

Re: ROMANIA 2016 - Ovidiu Anton - Moment of Silence

I don't believe it's dated. It's different than most of Eurovision songs this year and that make it strange to many people who maybe want something more pop.
