For the last few weeks, we’ve been touring around Romania in order to find who will be the next star to represent Romania at Eurovision this year. Each week, 12 participants have performed for only three spots in the final, and with five semi-finals, there will be a total of 15 acts in the Romanian national final, which will take place on the 25th of February.
As we know, each week the semi-finals have been taking place in different cities across Romania, and this week the show took place in Turda. Here’s the line-up:
-
Bernice Chiţiul – Too busy for my heart
-
Cristian Siminonescu – Nirvana
-
Nicoleta Ţicală – Una oportunidad
-
ZOLTAN – Dacă dragostea e oarbă
-
Alice Jeckel – Out of the dark
-
Dan Manciulea – Rază de soare
-
Lion’s Roar – Rekindle the flame
-
Ioana Ciornea – Time after time
-
TIRI – Deşert de sentimente
-
Feli – Bună de iubit
-
Paula Crişan – I am here

Let’s get into this week’s voting!
