Romania: Interview with Eliza G| From Italy ends up representing Romania with a song about the value of love! (Video)

/0 Comments/in , /by

After the announcement of her participation in this year’s Romanian national final, Selecția Națională 2022, Eliza G talks exclusively to EurovisionFun reporter, Apostolis Matamis.

Eliza is one of the artists that will compete in the hopes of winning a ticket for the final of the Romanian national selection process for Eurovision 2022 and is bidding to represent her country with the song “The Other Half of Me”.

Even though she is a permanent resident of Italy, she will attempt to represent Romania in Turin instead, which is her home country.

I am connected with Romania. The first year was in 2019, when I got invited at a Romanian festival. I went without any great expectations, but I won the first prize! I am really proud of that, it was one of the most amazing moments of my life. And now I said “Why not?”. I have a strong bond with Romania, I have lots of friends there. When there was an open call for foreign artists, I said, “I’ll go” and here I am, I am at the semi-final. After all, these two countries are deeply connected with each other. More than one million Romanians live in Italy and vice versa. They’re sister countries! 

Last week, she recorded her performance at the studios of TVR and she feels absolutely satisfied about the final outcome of her song, “The Other Half of Me”.

The song is partly in Italian and partly in English. It is a love song, but it is not exclusively related to some love affair but also in family and friendly relations. Generally speaking, it talks about our relationship with any person we might care for or feel close to. People, in their lives, they fight, they make mistakes and choose the wrong path sometimes. And they end up being scared that they might lose someone really close to them, when it’s actually too late already and they’re already gone. Then you realise what they were really worth. And in my song, I talk about that kind of situation, when you’ve lost a person and you are in the place where you used to live, all alone and then you realise how much you miss them, feeling it so intensely, as they were your other half. With my song, I want to emphasise on the hope that the mistakes we make, can show how that first stage of a forthcoming loss can feel like. 

The initial version of the song, that was written entirely in Italian by two really renowned Italian composers, was kept by Eliza in her vault. Later on, a composer from the United Kingdom assisted in writing the english version of “The Other Half of Me” and then it was decided that a mixed version should be formed, containing both languages, which was not initially targeting the Eurovision Song Contest. The decision to submit the song to the national selection process of Romania, came a while later.

Romania is a country with really broad horizons and is welcoming artists from all over the world, so I thought it is a great opportunity. I am so proud of this. And maybe, one of my next steps in terms of music, would be a future participation at the festival of Sanremo!

Apart from Romania, in 2021 she took part in a popular Albanian festival, where she says she’s gained a lot of experience.

She mentions that she has listened to all the songs of her contestants.

I have listened to all the songs, but I would prefer not to compare any, because it would be so unfair. We are all here for the same reason. What I would like to point out is that there are lots of nice songs, exceptional artists and I am really curious to see how they will sound like when performed live, because that is the moment when you actually understand what kind of feelings they can pull out of you.

In case she wins, Eliza will participate at the Eurovision Song Contest which will be held at the country where she currently lives:

I hope the timing is right. It would be really interesting. I have a lot of friends here. As an Italian woman, it would be really interesting if I had the chance to present a song partly in Italian, in my own country, representing Romania. 

Her favourite Italian entry is the one of Diodato (2020) while from the entire contest she loves the song of Salvador Sobral (Portugal 2017).

A few moments before the end of the interview, Eliza sang for us a small part of her song acapella.

Romania: Interview with Aris | Female manipulation, the third attempt for Eurovision and the revamp to come! (Video)

/0 Comments/in , /by

After the announcement of her participation in this year’s Romanian national final, Selecția Națională 2022, Aris talks exclusively to EurovisionFun and Apostolos Bogiannos and Giorgos Zefteridis.

Aris is one of the artists who will compete for a place in the final of the Romanian national selection for Eurovision 2022, and will try to represent her country with the song “Do svidaniya“.

Last Friday we had the live auditions and I can’t wait for the release of the video and people’s reactions. Many people thought the song was Russian however 90% of the lyrics are in English and it’s about a manipulated woman who at one point stands in front of her abuser and says “Do svidaniya” (goodbye). It is about all women who are afraid to make this change in their lives and stay trapped in such a relationship.

The Russian title in “Do svidaniya” is used metaphorically to refer to a cold and toxic relationship between a couple. Thinking about Eurovision was something that occured after the song had been written:

Although I am a composer, I didn’t write the song. I got in touch with the creators last September and when we wrote it we hadn’t originally discussed the Eurovison scenario. When the applications for the national final opened they asked me if I would like to take part with this song and at that moment I was in the middle of a trip. So somehow I managed to record and send them the vocal part exactly one day before the deadline. I didn’t tell anyone about it until the shortlist was published and a friend asked me if I had submitted a song for the competition.

Regarding her stage presentation in the national final, Aris states that:

It will be a surprise. I have some ideas but I can’t say anything yet. In the first phase of the auditions it will just be me with a microphone. In the semi-final I’ll come with a TV addition if we’re allowed. If I qualify for the final you will see a full show.

She says that she hasn’t listened to any of the rest songs as she prefers to focus on her own performance without being unintentionally influenced by the other competing songs.

Her favourite Romanian entry is that of Luminița Anghel & Sistem (2005) while from the competition in general she singles out many entries including those of Maneskin (Italy 2021), Mahmood (Italy 2019), maNga (Turkey 2010), Elnur & Samir (Azerbaijan 2008) and Chingiz (Azerbaijan 2019).

Since I was a child I was watching the Eurovision phenomenon and it was one of my dreams to be on the stage of this contest and make Romania proud. I don’t know if it will happen this year or any of the next years but I know it will happen at some point. I had tried two other times before. In 2012 as a member of the band T&L after our fourth place in X-Factor Romania , with the song “Twilight” and in 2015 as Lara Lee with the song “Superman“.

Just before the end of the interview, Aris shared with us an acapella part of her entry and revealed that there will be a revamp of her entry that will be released within February.

Eurovision 2022: Here are the results of the allocation draw!

The Semi-Final Allocation Draw for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 took place in Palazzo Madama in Turin. Find out below in which of the 2 Semi-Finals your country will perform and vote in. The annual event was hosted by Carolina di Domenico and Mario Acampa.

The Semi-Final Allocation Draw and Host City Insignia Exchange are key milestones on the path to the Eurovision Song Contest each year.

During the ceremony, Ahmed Aboutaleb, Mayor of Rotterdam, passed on the Host City Insignia to Stefano Lo Russo, Mayor of Turin. The insignia key chain, weighing over 30 kilograms with the new addition of Rotterdam’s insignia, was handed over to Turin. The Italian city is now officially the Host City of the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.

Draw Procedure

The 36 countries competing in the semifinals were divided into six pots, based on the points they have exchanged in recent years. This is done in order to avoid, as much as possible, the alliances and bloc voting that appear every year in the voting.

Allocation Pots

Big 5

With the host Italy, directly in the final, along with the rest of the Big 5 (UK, France, Germany, Spain), the first part of the draw determined the semifinal that the direct finalists will vote.

Will vote in the 1st Semi-Final:

  • France
  • Italy

Will vote in the 2nd Semi-Final:

  • Spain
  • Germany
  • United Kingdom

Their performance in the dress rehearsal will be shown in the semifinals where the six aforementioned countries were drawn to broadcast and vote. This was done at Eurovision 2016 for the first time, for reasons of equal visibility of the countries that are directly in the final and the countries that compete in the semifinals. Essentially, viewers watch each entry twice during the shows.

Allocation Draw

The draw of the countries for the two semifinals had two parts. In the first part, the 36 countries that participate in the semifinals, were drawn in which of the two will compete. 18 countries will compete in both the first and the second semifinal.

In the second part each country found out if it will appear in the first or in the second half of the semifinal that will compete. The exact order of appearance will be determined by the EBU and the producers of the show at a later time.
