Romania ROMANIA 2023 - Theodor Andrei - D.G.T. (Off and On)

[ESC United Mod Team]

Based on what? Poland stands a chance if they can fix Blanka's vocals but Azerbaijan & Romania are chanceless I'd say.

I was proven right.

Just spotted Theodor and his girlfriend (I believe she is the dancer) in Liverpool city centre.

What happened to Romania?
Going from a 100% qualification rate to being dead last in the semi with 0 points in just 5 editions? (counting out the bizarre diqualification and 2020)

I have a Feeling this will be Romanias last Entry for a while...

Romania got the wrong memo. They thought yay 100% televoting and then they delivered a circus that made the era of 2002 to 2008 look like a classy one.

I think it's quite rewarding to see getting pts in televoting.

I can still remember last decade's conversations among fans lamenting on how "unfair the televoting is because always gets so many points due to diaspora and neighbouring votes" and here we are... them getting not a single point Oo

Even I didn´t think that we would ever be seeing that day in Eurovision. Oo

Since the pandemic, many Romanians left Austria in droves, because usually they were in our televotes.

 

[Geborgenheit]

The biggest mistake was that he changed the performance from the national final which was fire.

That's what I'm feeling too if I'm honest

TVR got exactly what they deserved. Not only this has been the worst Selectia Nationala ever, but everything went downhill from there. It's clear they're completely out of their element, living in their own world. Apparently (I didn't catch it as i was watching on yt) last night before ESC they played a "road to Turin" ad and a show about Wrs' preparations for the night

 

[randajad]

Most deserved flop. Theodor and his family have been insufferable know-it-alls who thought they're the shit. Guess what, nobody outside the TVR coffin dodger audience cared about your stupid song.

TVR is stuck somewhere between 1998 and 2002, but the worst thing is the smugness they're showing, it's disgusting. Moldova pls annex us x

And I felt sorry for him???

 

[Fluke]

Anyone have the full televote placements of this? Curious which if any countries came close to giving him points...

Likely none, other than some countries with some Romanian diaspora? But probably even these people ignored that.

BTW. I would like to see full results with the number of votes cast in the future but I can suspect that it might lead to some shenanigans.

Posting this here as nobody else has yet. Sounds like Theodor got some absolutely awful treatment and even got some horrendous questions in the interview.

Poor guy. Hopefully TVR sort their shit out or leave and come back when there's a team who can do things properly and Theodor can have a proper go at Eurovision again when he's grown as an artist...

It's really such a shame that a country that was once such a powerhouse in Eurovision, had a 100% record and rarely sent a bad entry has fallen so hard from grace. It's actually really sad tbh. I think they need to seriously take a break, reassess what they're doing or let another channel have a go.

If you call the trainwreck ''fire'' then it's up to you, darling. But the performance at the ESC was a bore, he could have brought hot semi-naked girls at least.

TVR being competent for once challenge (impossible)

We'll most likely permanently withdraw

Back when we were kicked out of the contest in 2016 due to not paying our fees, several other big channels such as Antena Group, ProTV and Kanal D (Turkish owned) offered to join the EBU or at least create a public-private partnership like and has, but EBU staunchly refused.

That might change though if TVR withdraws. Back then the EBU were probably still working closely with TVR and had the expectation they'd be returning. So another option wasn't necessary.
