Over the last month, Romania has been going through their 60 long list of semi-finalists to find their next Eurovision artist, and this week the fifth and final semi-final took place, with the last three qualifiers decided.
This week’s semi-final took place in Sighişoara, and as in previous weeks, the decision of who would qualify to the final was up to five jury members, who are Liliana Ştefan, Viorel Gavrilă, Ilinca Băcilă, Nicu Patoi and Marian Ionescu.
Here are the competitors of the last semi-final:
-
Manuel Chivari – Somebody to love

Now let’s get to the voting! Each jury member voted from zero to 8, then 10 and 12 points.
