Selecţia Naţională Eurovision 2007

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Selecţia Naţională Eurovision 2007 was the national competition organized by Romanian Television (TVR), to select the country's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. The official winner of the selection was the group Locomondo and the multilingual song "Luibi, lubi, I love you".

The national final consisted of two semi-finals on 27 January and 3 February and a final on 10 February 2007. Twelve songs were to participate in each semi-final, with the top 6 qualifying for the final. The final result was decided by a 50/50 split between televoters and jury.

At first there were 24 participants, but Giulia Nahmany is being disqualified because her song 'Make It' has been stolen from the song 'Risin' of Natalia Druyts, a Belgian singer. In addition, the duo Indiggo was also disqualified from the competition along with the song "Lovestruck". The reason for this was because they broke the rules of the competition by not showing up for the rehearsals and not sending the instrumental version of their song. The duo also missed their music video filming for the promotion of their song, declaring that they had some concerts in the United States. Furthermore, their song "Lovestruck" was the subject of plagiarism accusations, but it was proven that these accusations were wrong.[1]

After a commission was formed by the organizers and 5 songs were analyzed (Nu pot sa uit, Liubi,liubi I love you, Dracula,my love, Well-o-wee and Sinada) the final decision was that three of the songs were to be disqualified because they were performed before 1 October which is not allowed by EBU rules. "Well-o-wee", "Dracula, My Love", and "Sinada" were disqualified from the competition before the final took place. [2] In addition to the disqualifications, producer/songwriter/performer, Marius Moga withdrew his "Crazy" in protest of the disqualification of his other song "Dracula, My Love".
