There is interest honestly, but the way TVR is doing things turns everyone off. This year's line-up was full of nobodies and the quality was abysmal so I'm not surprised by the low viewership. Hell, outside Selectia Nationala or sporting events such as the Olympics, I don't think anyone even watches TVR.
If only they would admit defeat and at least share the broadcasting rights with another broadcaster, like some other countries do, there are plenty other channels who can turn things around (some even tried in 2016, but of course EBU turned them down)
I really think Romania will withdraw after this year. a bit more than 100.000 viewers in a country of 20 million is just embarrassing. It's clear there's no interest for esc in Romania (neither from the people nor from the music industry).
I hope they withdraw tbh.
Most likely Global Records ended their collaboration with them due to the many disputes they've had, TVR really tried to reign in and do whatever they please...again.tbh. the most potential that romania showed in the last decade was with Roxen (that 2020 selection remains one of the best selections of all time). IDK why they stopped working with global records.
I have Brazilian cards and parents from Brazil who can do the transaction for meThe rest of the world vote is being done like Australia last year debit/credit card online
I don't want them to withdraw but I also think that it is likely after they NQ this year (which imo there is a high chance they will). I hope they don't withdraw. I don't understand what happened to Romania? They used to do well at Eurovision but the last few years were a mess. They delivered some great bops in the past. How popular is Selecția Națională? Maybe it would be better for them to select internally? I'm a fan of national selections but they don't work for every country. Big artists usually don't want to go through a NF. For some countries internal selections are better.I really think Romania will withdraw after this year. a bit more than 100.000 viewers in a country of 20 million is just embarrassing.

Please tell me you are not comparing DGT to Its My LifeAnyone else think this is underrated AF? He just radiates energy, fun and talent, the vocals are so on point.... it seems to be the cheezy staging that puts people off. I think this can definitely make the final, maybe even top 15 with a great staging.
Remember how Cezar was ridiculed and then became a fan favorite just before the actual performance? Not coincidentally, also Romanian, and i think this can happen again with this one. This is actually a good song that just kind of got lost in the mess of other "weird" entries released at the same time, and the lack of updates (no MV, revamped studio version etc.) made everyone just forget about it entirely. Give this a chance, this is gonna do better than Eurofans currently seem to think.
