Wins: Nil
First Entry: 1994 Dan Bittman - Dincolo de nori
Most Recent Entry: 2015 Voltaj - De la Capăt (All Over Again).
National anthem: Deșteaptă-te, române!
2016:
Ovidiu Anton – Moment of Silence.
There is nothing political in Eurovision. There is nothing political in Eurovision. I can repeat that over and over and over again and I still can’t believe it. This song is an overtly political anthem. I want to like it, but it is so dull that instead of liking it, I fell asleep.
The promo clip is interesting because it is just the National Final footage with the recorded version of the song played over the top. The recorded version was required though because the vocals in the footage from the National Final redefined average.
Last year’s Romanian entry by Voltaj was the most moving songs of the night; even listening to it now it still gives me Goosebumps. Romania generally sends something brilliant to Eurovision, but not this year, definitely not this year.
One of Ovidiu competitors in the national selection for Romania was previous Eurovision contestant Mihai Trăistariu. I fear this year entrant will not have a vocal performance like 2006
