Paula Seling (36) is a Romanian singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, performer, TV personality and entertainer. In her career she has won most every award in Romania.

Ovidiu Cernăuţeanu (39) aka OVI is a multitalented singer, songwriter, producer and musician making career also in Norway. They already came 3rd in Eurovision 2010 together.

While I have been busy with Sanremo Romanian TV has selected and announced their dozen for the Selecţia Naţională. A total of 159 sogs were sent in, apparently 9 didn't meet the rules so these are chosen among the 150. And yes, the rumored names are in with their entries that have been floating in the web for some time by now, including highly overrated IMHO Paula & Ovi. And this selection is very Melodifestivalen like, in good and in bad. Here's a recap of all songs.The final will take place on March 1, 2014. Ştefan Stan feat.
