Romania/Roumanie
Paula Seling & Ovi - 'Playing With Fire'
Romania a very consistently good in Eurovision, but never win. out of 11 attempts, they have been top ten 4 times and since the start of he Semi finals, they have never missed a final. Part of the reason Romania never wins though is out of pity. Poor Romania could never afford to host a Eurovision.
This years song is not the a genre I am big on, however the song is well created and I think has a good chance of winning. Romania has a history of good dance music, 'Tornero' by Mihai Traistariu still being one of my favourite Eurovision songs ever (i am not saying it is good, it is just better than crap). This years song comes from that same genre, but instead of being credible eastern European music in a dance style it is... well... a bit... Sophie Ellis Bexter... and thats not good...
I like the piano bits. I would like to see them actually performing live rather than miming... but then that will be saved for Eurovision Semi 2 night (i guess I have to stay sober until the tenth song to see that Epic Fail). yay for Manure-0-Vision.
I feel bad that I didnt hang enough shit on that song, but sometimes it is the less you say, like with Romanias first entry Dan Bittman in 1994 with "Dincolo de nori". I am looking at the outfits and I am thinking, did Romania have colour TV in 1994, because going by the outfits, Romania wasn't ready for colour...
