Romania 🇷🇴 in Eurovision Song Contest (1993-2023)

- Here's a recap of all the songs that competed for Romania in Eurovision Song Contest from 1993 to 2023. Please, enjoy!
Romania has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 23 times since its debut in 1994, and has placed in the top ten six times. Its best results were achieved by Luminița Anghel and Sistem in 2005, and by Paula Seling and Ovi in 2010, who both finished in third place. Selecția Națională, a song contest that has been taking place every year in Romania except for 2021, has been used to select the country's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.
In 1993, the year before its first appearance, Romania attempted to debut in the contest, but came last in the qualifying round. After successfully joining the following year, poor placements followed until 2002, resulting in several relegations. This changed with the introduction of semi-finals to the contest in 2004, after which Romania reached the final 14 times, failing to qualify from the semi-finals in 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2023, the latter finishing with 0 points.

Macar suntem constanti, in fiecare an la fel de rau. Iar odata la 10 ani avem un moment de sclipire
I'm not even from Romania, but Tornero is still one of my fav Euro songs
Luminița și sistem trebuiau să câștige anul acela, încă mi se face pielea de găină când ascult melodia acea! Show și talent 100%
Nu ne dadeau premiul, maxim locul 2 luam, nu aveam posibilitati sa organizam un concurs de asa avengura prin anii 2005-2006
Helena Paparizou a fost impecabila si a avut una din cele mai bune piese in istoria concursului. Grecia a castigat atunci mai mult decat meritat.
@@ClaudiuBuzoianu12 Serbia si Ucraina, tari mai sarace decat a noastra, au castigat si ele in acea perioada deci nu cred ca posibilitatea financiara e relevanta cand vine vorba de voturi.
2005 was a masterpiece🔥🔥
2006 was better

Fun fact: Anton Ovidiu participated in Romanian national selection for Eurovision 5 times, and when he finally achieved success and won he got disqualified.
It's sad, of course, but for some reason I laugh every time I remember this fact.
And btw his song in 2016 was amazing.
I was so pissed off when the EBU did that. They could have easily have waited until after the 2016 contest to ban them, or announce they would not be qualified to participate after that contest. I really liked his song, and would loved to see him perform. Truly sad.
@@j.t.5178 Totally true he didnt get disqualified. TvR did
Why was he disqualified?
@@krekkerman7540 because TVR didn't pay the EBU their debts they accrued from 2007 and they disqualified the broadcaster (and Ovidiu) two weeks before the contest.
it reminds me of MaNGA in 2010 representing turkey
If I was a TVR executive I would’ve dropped the national selection and chose to bring a huge Romanian star to Eurovision, like Inna or Alexandra Stan
How come these two never represented them?? They're some of the most well known Romanian artists worldwide in the 21st century.

I want a big artist from romania to represend ROMANIA at the ESC again becayse în 2007 or 2008 Kamara and Andrei Stefanescu reprsend romania at ESC but în a formation
Usually very big artists don't participate in music competitions.
seeing as they slowly realized how bad Eurovision gets (and the belief that EBU is biased against them), I wouldn't blame big artists not joining. the last time an actually popular artist or band represented Romania was in 2015, with Voltaj placing 15th in the grand final, and since then, only Roxen had gained any significant fame of all participants outside of Eurovision, and we know how her entry turned out to be. you'll see people getting interested more in "Vocea României" (The Voice, basically) and "Românii au talent".
as for TVR, well, yeah, either reform the National Selection again to what it was before 2019 (because they managed to create a chain of semi-final failures themselves, not the televote), or have a private broadcaster take over the license to air the contest on television. I wouldn't be surprised if we either stopped participating altogether or we sent another weak entry in 2025 (or later) because of TVR's recklessness of not investing enough in their winners, and the fact that Moldova of all countries cares more about Eurovision despite being completely inferior to Romania geopolitically, especially in recent years, speaks volumes.
we Romanians know we have absolutely no chance of winning, unless something like the 2005 and 2006 contests happens once again, which severely favored Eastern Europe and disfavored the Big Four (or Five) plus the host OR, somehow, a good joke entry gets sent (even if joke entries only got up as far as 2nd place)
I think Romania have sent some strong songs.
I love both of Paula Seling and Ovi's entries (2010 & 2014)
Let Me Try (2005) What a great song and performance. Love it a lot 😍
Yodel It (2017) Pure fun and enjoyable performance
On a Sunday (2019) So underrated. Still love Ester
Amnesia (2021) Beautiful entry in studio. Live wasn't great but I love Roxen anyway 🥰
"Let me try" was our best song. I remember many people saying back in 2005 that we should have won. "Playing with fire" was also huge, as well as "Tornero" and "Don't break my heart". I loved Taxi's and Dan Bittman's songs too. They are classics here, in Romania. Mandinga's "Zaleilah", "Yodel it" and Andrei's "Llamame" were great hits here. "De la capăt" is about our family and friends who have been forced to leave the country because of the lack of money and opportunities. The Humans' song was also great, even though it didn't qualify. But my favorite ever is "Moment of silence". That could have been a winner.
The delegation did theodor so dirty. If they actually cared about the artists and invested some time and money he would've had a better staging and probabaly a better result
They probably knew they'd waste money and time if they invested for THAT song ☠😂 I don't wanna be mean but this wouldn't had any chance to succeed even if they invested more money and time. Of course, it's sad for him but no can do when almost nobody likes the song.
@@joachim5332 its the delegations job to put in their best effort and support the Arists. If they cant to that for everyone they need to stop competing
@@joachim5332 Then why did they let him compete in the nf?? They could've just chosen another artist!
@@orangespark2340 What I’ve heard, the public chose 100% in the national final. Idk why they chose that one tho 😂
@@joachim5332 no no, what i mean is, the broadcaster chooses the songs thst take part in the National final. They get a few hundred selections and narrow it down from there. If they had no faith in DGT why did they allow it to compete?
Romania did not qualify to the contest in both 1993 and 1996, but after the semi-finals were introduced they only non-qualified for the first time in 2018(but now they've only qualified once in the last five contests)
Hungary also didn't qualify in 1993 and 1996😅
Romania is the only country to be called Romania

What happened to Romania in the last half-decade? They were amazing from the mid 2000s to early 2010s
TVR happened (the national broadcaster)
This year we had the same situation in Greece with ERT(national broadcaster)
@@jonathinayour song was amazing
@@gabrieladaescu8771they chose a shitty song.
Plin de tigani ...asta se intampla
I feel bad for Theodor, he got utterly discarded by his delegation and now has to live with a 0 point result and by far Romania’s worst result because his delegation screwed him over and ruined his Eurovision experience, especially with him being so young.
Honestly Romania needs to take a break and rebuild again, they’ve been really going downhill since 2018, it’s so sad to see
As Eda Marcus said last year... nu cred.
What actually happened with Romania this year? Because I can't find any information on it
@@ellibod1
His delegation essentially told him after he won Romania’s national final that he would have to pay for the majority of things, including the trip to London and all of the staging. They left him with literally no support at all

Source?
The song certainly did not deserve 0! Cool voice and good chorus. San Marino deserved it Even less. One of the best entries this year! Much better than Tattoo
2007 was by far the most original entry, super message, but in that year Molitva was way toooooo strong
I don't know if 2017 is my guilty pleasure or I unironically love it 😂
YODELE YODELE YODELEIOOOOUUU
The fact it got same result as Moldova 2022 is even better. I love this kind of bangers being 7th :) Chisinău-Bucureşti ❤
@Mr No haha same bejba
Unironically 2023 is my guilty pleasure ngl
@@JustK4Y1512 same it's my 11th
RIP Malina
Mihai trestariu...o voce nemaipomenita
1994 is still my favourite Romanian song... One of my 1994 winners
One thing I'll never understand is that someone thought it would be good for Theodor's only dancer show up for exclusively the last 10 seconds of the song.
That girl is a professional dancer, from what I've seen on her Ig, yet the choreo she was given was so beneath her, even my two year old cousin could have done it with no problem.
Poor Theodor, the way his delegation and broadcaster treated him was horrible. I hope Romania learns something from this. I don't want them to withdraw, but a year break would be a good thing for them. They used to be a powerhouse of the contest, I hate seeing how low they've fallen.
I really love EU CRED ❤ Poor Malina, I wish she hadn't committed suicide. 😢 I also love Cezar, Ovidiu, Roxen (Amnesia) and WRS! Love from Serbia to our neighbors!
MALINA DID WHAT?! 😨 WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN???
Just checked this on Google and I feel awful for what happened to her, I can't even imagine how her friends and family felt when they heard the tragic news 😢
@@nick_5791_GR In 2011
Mihai Alexandru was the composer. Great composer amd musician.
We'll miss you in ESC 2024, Romania 😢

Poor Theodor. I wish he choose a full rock version of his song... But TVR was so against him :(

Can we talk about Miracle and how good it was?
Malina 1998 ❤
So many great songs .
She killed herself in 2010
@@mihailtataru-dw6ju Yes sadly that's correct .
And also sadly a few other Eurovision singers killed themselves
2010 is my favourite of that year competition, I voted and all
I loved so much Cezar... ❤
It's my life was the best and original song by Romania (second yodel it!) ✨
To me that Taxi song stood out the most. Very original!
Tornero was nice and Roxane Amnesia very underrated. Ola mi bebebe was nice too.
Romania is my fav esc country, I hope they have a big win in a next future
Tornero and Playing with fire are among my favorite songs of the contest
For me, Romania never had a bad entry since 2003 and deserved to keep the 100% qualification streak they had until 2018.
Romania was always on my top 10 of each year since 2010 until 2022 (except 2017)
Looking forward to an epic comeback❤✨🔥
possible, when will be about music again.........
I love when romanians sing in romanian. Everyone needs to hear how beautiful romanian is. It's unqiue and deserves love and care. 😢
For my opinion Todomondo was underrated. Deserves at least top 10😢
Romania was my winner once, in 2010 (tied with Germany, Turkey, Belgium and Israel).
2022-❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥огонь. Незаслуженно низкое место. Привет из России.❤🇷🇺
2019-2022 were so good❤
DGT is a very catchy song and im sad it came tied last, but the staging was SO boring and concerning as well…
Luminița Anghel Traistariu și Paula Seling ne-a reprezentat cel mai bn și a făcut performanta luând locurile 3 și 4 ținând cont ca acum nici.nu ne mai.calificam în Finala cu mizeriile de melodii care ne reprezinta Țara!
Músicas maravilhosas romenas que merecem total respeito. Todas as músicas lindíssimas que devem ser essenciais neste campeonato
Can you do a series where you rate all of the entires of each country?
Best 3. 2006, 2010 and 2017.👏🔥
I hope we will remove the national selection and use an internal selection next year
I think Roxen with "Alcohol you" it would enter in the final if the contest was not cancelled. Better than "Amnesia"
2008 entry was so nice and so underrated ❤😢
Nici nu am stiut ca Dida Dragan a reprezentat Romania la Eurovision.
theodor andrei has amazing vocals, he was absolutely robbed getting 0 points.
Lets be honest Theodor had the voice on him but due to the delegration and the country who sent him he couldn't so that off like he should have

I’ve some bad news for you…😔
@@Conor2496 yeah, I heard, this is the first time they did this since 2016 (yup, Romania also withdrew in Sweden during that time)
the only appearances of Romania in ESC in Sweden are:
2000 - Stockholm
2013 - Malmo
Romania need to get their act together in this contest. Since 2017, they've gone down hill and a lack of effort seems to be an issue. I cant see them coming back in 2024, but I hope I'm wrong.
Am I the only one who likes 1996?! I think that would have got a shock 12 off the UK for being...out there. 'Tornero', 'Let Me Try', 'Eu Cred', 'Playing With Fire' and 'Yodel It' my favourite Romanian entries.
This show has always made me confused. We can see a trend of what type of songs have success, but they sent the exact opposite. Unfortunately for the jungle it had become, I wish Romania would not participate anymore.
Nobody cares about this!!!! It is enough that this country gave the best musician EDWARD MAYA (stereo love) who conquered the world ;) .
Without forgetting AKCENT , INNA , PLAY & WIN etc... THE GOLDEN ROMANIAN ERA 2008-2013.
greetings from Morocco, love you Romania
Luminița Anghel / the Humans - favotitii mei!!!❤❤

Luminita , Traistariu si Paula ....Voci adevarate, va iubim !
Isn't supposed Romania and San Marino last toghether seems they got 0 points?
San Marino had a later running order, so Romania wins the tie-break.
Hello. as always I leave you the ones that I liked: 1998, 2005, 2010, 2013, 2022.
Theodor was honestly very bad it was literally only himself and the girl putting black paint at the end Romania didnt even care to support his performance
It's not Theodor's fault. It's TVR's fault. I absolutely loved Theodor's song when it was released but Romanian TV did him so dirty 😢 He would have a chance of qualifying with the original version but TVR has forced him to change half of the song into a version he didn't really like.
I will always love Romania 2007 it deserved better then 13th.
why was romania disqualified in 2016-? It was a pretty good song!
They didn't pay debt
why 2016 was disqualified?
Dan Bittman, ”Dincolo de nori” is the song I still listen...
im not really an expert in eurovision but my opinion on the 2023 song is that it just need more effects,like a bigger budget,because the song was fantastic but it just nidded a little more of something.
2022 entry got ROBBED, 18th place is a CRIME!
2011 makes me happy
This might be an unpopular opinion but despite everything Romania is a really strong ESC country for me! All of their entries from the 2020s are in my respective top 10s!
Same
Baftă Theodor!!!!
I am Romanian and I am proud of my country even if some of them I understand because a Romanian sings
Уже почти 2 года, как ОЛА МИ БЕ БЕ БЕ
only San Marino left?
Yes
Monica Anghel ar trebui să mai concureze încă o dată! Are o voce superbă, și un pic de rock!
“Let me try”- ar fi meritat primul loc, dar dacă am respecta aceeași linie muzicală, ar fi un success poate la anul!
Paula seling- o melodie incredibilă de bine realizată și foarte catchy!
The humans- chiar era o melodie superbă și cu un mesaj impresionant!
2005, 2006, 2010 - cool songs
2007, 2008, 2009 - not less!
9:14 Romania said "Goodbye" to the final for the first time in 2018 😢
2017 and 2022 ❤
Their best entry never went to esc…2016
In my opinion 3 of them was suppose to win the final... First it was Cezar Oatu then Paula Seling and Ovi in 2010 and Roxen in 2021.
Also I think Eurovision was stealing the votes giving to other countries (No offence) from 2018 till in present...
My favourite is 2005
Piesa cea mai tare ramane Tornero al lui Mihai Traistariu!!!!
Apoi WRS cu Ola me bebè!! Restul,. cine si le aminteste,sau le poate fredona!!!
Aia este o piesa buna,cand iti ramane in minte si in inima!
2006 was the best song they've ever sent!
2022 is top 5!!!
Love how the comments here suddenly feel so bad for Theodor as if they didn't relentlessly cyberbullly the 18-year-old leading up to the contest. But anyway, it's clear televoters only like Romania with 🤡 entries.

I liked how Romania evolved over the years. In 2006, it was Romania's best performance, 4th place. In 2017, the song "Yodel it" drove me crazy with 7th place, and wow, 282 points. In 2015, the song was sad and beautiful. 2020, it was canceled due to the covid-19 pandemic, 2021 was kind of like 2023, but the song was great. 2022, "Llámame" by Wrs was my favorite, and the song, the dance, the lyrics were perfect, 2022 it was a very beautiful year for Romania, and for me!! 2023, it was very terrible, the song was ugly, I hope Romania doesn't withdraw..🇹🇩❤
