Romania participated in the Eurovision song contest since 1994. The country finished in top 5 three times, including in 2006 when the festival was held in Athens and Mihai Traistariu on the fourth place ended with the song Tornero<\/em>. Last week you could read here that the Romanian wants to return to the European stage. He gave an exclusive interview to Songfestival.be.<\/p>\n

Mihai Traistariu is a great songfestivalfan<\/strong>. ‘ My earliest memory was when I was 16 and the festival with my family looked at, along with a big bag of popcorn. When I dreamed of being a big star to be ‘, according to the Romanian who are his participation in 2006<\/a> still vividly recalls. ‘ Anna Vissi which kissed me, hundreds of journalists who asked me for interviews, Greek radio stations that played the song Tornero<\/em> , love in the Eurovision community and also the tears on my face when I had sung in the final ‘, so think Traistariu back to his adventure. After two weeks, all the emotions<\/strong> he experienced, the disillusionment came a day after the final when his mother died.<\/p>\n

Already in Athens he told everyone that he would ever return<\/strong> to the contest and would prevail<\/strong>. Tornero<\/em> ‘ return means in Italian, so here I am. I’m better, more confident, even sexier than ever ‘, says the Romanianste<\/sup> 36 this month anniversary. Traistariu has its song for Stockholm ready: Paradisio<\/em>. ‘ It’s a positive up tempo song, ideal for radio stations, clubs and also the Eurovision song contest. I have ten years been waiting for this song because I wanted to return earlier. The mainly English-language song is perfect for my high voice and with it I hope to convince both the public and the juries. I truly believe that I can win the contest and Romanian music history can write, ‘ says Traistariu who with his exceptional vocal range<\/a> of five octaves<\/strong> even the Guinness Book of World Records<\/strong> and also called the male Mariah Carey.<\/p>\n

For the time being, it is unclear whether he should attend the national round<\/strong>. ‘ There are no rules known, but for me, that doesn’t matter. It’s not easy to get a national final to win, but I believe that with Paradisio<\/em> succeeds. It’s really the perfect song, with a very modern sound and melody ‘, says the Romanian who won numerous awards in his home country. This month he focuses on the canning of the video clip<\/strong>, only after new year, we should expect the song. ‘Paradisio<\/em> will be the main song on my fourteenth album Change<\/em>. First comes the release of Zombie Love<\/em> coming, ‘ says Traistariu.<\/p>\n

Finally, we laid the enthusiastic Romanian some short questions for. Asked about his favourite Eurovision Song<\/strong> he answers somewhat surprisingly Elnur Huseynov with Hour of the Wolf<\/em> from Azerbaijan (2015<\/a>). His favorite Romanian entry was his predecessor, Luminita Anghel & Sistem with Let Me Try<\/em> (2005<\/a>). He has especially high praise for Kate Ryan, one of his competitors in Athens at the time. ‘ She is a great artist. I watch her often via YouTube and find them great. That was certainly your best submission. I found it very bizarre that they got no more points ‘, recalls Traistariu itself.<\/p>\n

What is Traistariu’s message for the readers of Songfestival.be? ‘ I am like you a big fan of the Eurovision song contest. I promise you that I will visit Belgium to propose to you to Paradisio<\/em> , just like I did at the song Tornero<\/em>. I hope I to your expectations. I really want to win this year, I have your support so really need “, he concludes.<\/p>\n
