ROMANIA: HERE ARE THE FINALISTS AND THE STORY SO FAR

 

Romania is having a long national selection this year: five semifinals before the Selecția Națională final. Top-3 from every semi will qualified for the final thanks to a jury vote. There will be only televote in the final, too. MIHAI made it to final again. My faves at this point are Eduard Santha and Vyros followed by Alexia & Matei and Jukebox feat Bella Santiago, but none of the songs this year stands out, nor make me go La la la...... The final is next Sunday. 

Here are the finalists:

Alexia & Matei - Walking on Water 

Echoes - Mirror 

Eduard Santha - Me som romales 

MIHAI - Heaven 

Rafael & Friends - We Are One 

Jukebox feat. Bella Santiago - Auzi cum bate 

VYROS - La la la 

Erminio Sinni & Tiziana Camelin - All the Love Away 

Xandra - Try
