The Romanian representative, Alexandra Căpitănescu, is the latest artist to release a cover as part of Eurovision A Little Bit More. The singer has covered “Fuego” which placed second at the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal. The song is transformed into a rock anthem as part of Alexandra’s performance.
Romania is returning to the Eurovision Song Contest this year, having last competed in Liverpool in 2023. Alexandra Căpitănescu will compete in the first half of the second semi-final on May 14.
Romania first participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994. The country tried to participate in 1993 but failed to get through the pre-qualifying round. At the 1994 contest, Dan Bittman finished 21st in the final scoring 14 points, Romania didn’t make it through to another final until 1998. Romania’s best results in the contest are two third-place finishes. In 2005, Luminita Anghel & Sistem finished 3rd scoring 158 points, while Paula Seling & Ovi finished 3rd in 2010 with the song “Playing with Fire”. Romania missed the 2016 contest due to TVR being removed from the EBU due to debts to the organisation. Romania has not participated in Eurovision since 2023, coming back only this year.
