The ten countries that made it to the final of Eurovision 2023 after performances in the second semi-final:

  • Albania
  • CYPRUS
  • Estonia
  • Belgium
  • Austria
  • Lithuania
  • Poland
  • Australia
  • Armenia
  • Slovenia

Our country competed with 15 other countries to reach the finals in Liverpool. The first ten finalists, including Moldova, were determined in the first semi-final, which took place two days ago.

Theodor Andrei “DGT (Off and on)” took the stage third, who was well received by the audience. The second semi-final of Eurovision 2023 was broadcast live on TVR 1 on Thursday evening.

According to the BBC’s predictions, Romania had little chance of making it past Semi-Final 2 and advancing to the Eurovision 2023 final.

“Conceptually, the song describes a toxic relationship and the struggle of choosing between passion and self-preservation. Andriy, who is only 18 years old, lives in a psychodrama, sounds sometimes sad, sometimes pitiful, remorseful and angry. But when he sings lines like “I’m begging you, take off your clothes and step on me,” it’s really annoying. Prediction: Elimination in the second semi-final”, – this is the verdict of the BBC.

The best performances of Romania at Eurovision were: twice third place (Luminiţa Anghel & Sistem – Kyiv, 2005; Paula Seling and Ovi – Oslo, 2010) and once fourth place (Mihai Trăistariu – Athens, 2006).
