Attention Eurofans‼️

If you watched the semi-finals this year and thought "hmm, Romania's song sucks" or anything in that area, this post is for you (and if not! Keep reading anyway)

So if you watched the live show after listening to the song you probably thought "what happened?"

If you're unaware, this year Romania picked artist Theodor Andrei to represent them in the Eurovision Song Contest. However, after being chosen Theodor was completely abandoned by the TVR — the national Romanian television program — and had very little budget and work time.

Why am I explaining this?

Please watch his National Final performance, and you'll see the huge difference.

The Rise and Fall of Romania at Eurovision: How Did it Come to This?

An analysis by David Popescu - read it HERE I want to share the paragraph concerning Theodor's participation. I'm so glad that the truth is being spoken.

Theodor Andrei became our representative, a young and talented boy who had so many ideas and visions for his time in Liverpool. All of it, just scrapped. We even had a chat with him in Chișinău, ahead of the Moldovan national final, where he explained in deep details about everything he had envisioned. From the meaning of his entire national final performance to his expectations in Liverpool… none of it was seen. Shortly after the 2023 final, it was revealed that Theodor had scored… nothing! Literally zero points! The Romanian diaspora is very strong across Europe, but the Eurovision Song Contest just doesn’t get the Romanian attention anymore. I personally met some Romanians as well while in Liverpool, some casual viewers even, who were just there to enjoy the festivities. But when asked about this failure, they all said the same thing: this was TVR‘s zero points, not Theodor‘s.

How unfortunate that Romania isn't part of ESC this year.

I do not care if you don't like Romania's entry, I love that homophobes had to watch that entry on national tv, I am fueled by their tears

Eurovision 2023 is just a little less than a month away, and I took it upon myself to draw every single contestant from this year’s competition! Here’s Theodor Andrei, who’s representing Romania this year with “D.G.T. (Off and On)”!

Two of my top 6 this year not qualifying is a bit tough... Lots of love to Latvia and Romania!!!

Even Mika mistook Romania for Spain

I was really salty that Tanxugueiras didn’t get to go to Eurovision, but now, knowing that Romania is singing in Spanish I’m even more mad

Imagine the hilarity that would have been that Romania sang in Spanish when Spain didn’t. It would have been so epic

Shouldn't Spain have prepared a Romanian-theme performance, so that the balance is kept after Romanian entry?

well that was certainly something

Nothing but love and gratitude for these two 🧡💜 You’ve been amazing

Usually we get some good songs in the National selection (whether they'll pick one of those or a shitty one is irrelevant, at least there was a POSSIBILITY) but this year all the songs were trash. We had no choice.

Waiting for the year we'll finally top any (or all) of these:

goodnight

beautiful Andrei from wrs - why
