Românii au talent (English: Romanians Have Talent) is a TV show which first aired on 18 February 2011. The project is a franchise of Got Talent, developed by Simco Limited. The hosts of the show are Smiley and Pavel Bartoș. The original judges were Romanian singer Andra, Pro TV star and presenter Andi Moisescu and Romanian dancer, Mihai Petre. The grand prize is €120,000. The current jury panel is : Andra, singer and celebrity, Bebe Cotimanis,[1] a well-known TV actor and Andi Moisescu.

Auditions

The auditions take place in front of the judges and a live audience at different cities across the Romania. Unlike X Factor, at any time during the audition, the judges may show disapproval to the act by pressing a buzzer which lights a large red "X" on the stage, indicating that they particularly dislike the act and do not wish the performance to continue. If all the judges press their buzzers, the act must end immediately.

Callbacks

After the auditions, the judges have to whittle almost 200 successful acts down to just 48 (series 1), 60 (series 2 ). All of the performers are called back to discover if they have progressed to the live semi-finals.

In each edition, twelve contestants had 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.[5] Twelve acts were qualified for the grand final. The votes were given only by phone or sms, the voting started after the last semifinal, stopped during the final performances, and started again after the last performance.
