What did we learn about WRS’s staging?

The live blog states that WRS is wearing wet look pants, they are very sparkly. He starts the song off in a red shirt, however there is an outfit reveal during his performance. He has male backing dancers on the stage with him. WRS and his dancers really bring a fun party atmosphere to the stage. By the end of semi-final 2 we are sure to have chorus stuck in our heads.

Romania‘s Eurovision Journey

At the introduction of semi-finals, Romania found their stride and were present in every Eurovision final until 2018. Romania’s best result is third place, scored twice in 2005 and 2010 respectively.

In 2021, Romania was represented by Roxen, who had been internally selected in 2020 prior to the Contest’s cancellation. Roxen performed her song – “Amnesia” – at the first semi-final in Rotterdam. However, unfortunately Romania failed to qualify for the final. At the close of voting, Romania finished 12th in a field of 16, scoring 85 points.
