Returnee Mihai Traistariu (now M I H A I), last year’s third-place act Ovidiu Anton, as well as a host of Selectia Nationala newcomers make up Romania‘s 12-strong line-up for the Semi-final on 4 March. They survived the harsh national jury, but how will they fare with Wiwi Jury, our in-house panel of music unprofessionals?
All this month, our jury is offering its frank opinion of each of the songs. Each juror assigns each song a score from zero to ten, and the scores are then averaged for the Wiwi Jury verdict. Our jurors hail from Spain, Austria, Australia, Romania, Albania, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Russia, Finland and New Zealand — so we are totally international and transcontinental, y’all!
