The first commercials for the show were first aired in November 2010. Everybody expected that the show would start soon after, but it had to be delayed because they could not find enough talents in a short period of time and the producers thought that the whole show would be cancelled. Fortunately, enough talents were found and with a big delay the first episode was televised on 18 February 2011 at 8:30 PM.
The first episode was a big success for the ratings. Pro TV not only managed to have the biggest audience during the show, but managed to make "Romania's Got Talent" the most viewed television show since 2004 in Romania, beating its own records for the show Dansez pentru tine (Dancing with the Stars), another popular show in Romania broadcast by Pro TV.[1]
The application process took place throughout June and December 2010. The judges firstly visited Constanţa, Piatra Neamţ and Timişoara. Due to the lack of talents discovered, they returned to this cities in the fall of 2010. After finding many talented people trough them, the jury came to the capital city, Bucharest, in December. Cluj, Iaşi and Craiova were also visited.
Out of hundreds of contestants, only 200 won the local selection, having 1 or no X-es. The jury decided only 48 finalists. According to Pro TV's website, each contestant that qualified for the semifinals, are to be voted by the general public through text messages.[2]
The semi-finals will be broadcasted in four editions: In April 1, April 2 respectively April 8 and April 9, 2011. In each edition, twelve contestants will have to pass the juries and get as many votes from the general public in order to proceed further to the finals, the last step to the grand prize.[3]
