Selectia Nationala 2022
TVR announced that 94 artists applied during the period 26 November - 19 December, out of which 40% seem to be foreign artists and composers from Sweden, United Kingdom, Russia, Croatia, Israel, Italy, Greece, Spain and Bulgaria. Out of all the songs, the jury, composed of Alexandra Ungureanu, Randi, Cristian Faur, Ozana Barabancea, Adrian Romcescu, will select 45 songs that will compete in the first phase of the selection's semifinal, which will be held somewhere between 5-12 February. In this phase, the jury will select the best 15 songs, while public will be able to save 5 more songs, by online voting on Eurovision Romania Facebook page (from what I understood). So, a total of 20 songs will go to the second phase of the semifinal.
The second phase of the semifinal will be held on 12 February, and out of the 20 participating songs, the jury and the public will choose the 10 finalists, so that on 5 March the final of the selection will be held. The voting system seems messy, so that "the 5 juries will have TBA points to award, while the viewers have a total of 12 points to award. Each member of the jury will vote, while the viewer vote will be assigned by dividing the votes received by each song by the number of votes of the song that will gain the most viewer votes and then multiplied by 12 points. For example, if a song gained 10% of the viewer vote, then that entry would be awarded 10% of 12 points rounded to the nearest integer: 1 point". However, I understood that the HoD will still consult with the fans in order to establish the voting system, which I hope to be 50%-50% in the end, because this jury seems bad.
On 23 December, the 45 chosen songs will be revealed. TVR said that there are also some previous representatives of Romania, who I think they might be Cezar (due to a photo that was shared in Eurovision Romania Facebook group), Paula Seling (the Romanian fans speculate so, but there is no source) and Ester Peony (not sure, this is just a rumor, since her boyfriend, a composer, said in Eurovision Romania group that he has 8 songs for Eurovision, but it's not known if it was irony or a serious message; Romanian fans speculate that "Tatoué" can be one of the songs, but I doubt).
TVR said that there are some "known" artists who submitted songs, but also unestablished artists. Some rumoured or confirmed names: E-An-Na (confirmed with the song "Malere"), Aris, Balint Handra (not a serious candidate), BTM Project, Cezar, Holy Molly, Letitia Moisescu, O X A (Ommieh x Anakrisez), Olivia Addams, Ortoplan (Dorel Giurgiu, also not a serious candidate), Gabriela Garlonta (confirmed, not a serious candidate), Raluca Moldoveanu, Romina Apostol, Ester Peony, Super 4 (Italian group who participated in X Factor Romania), Teodora Dinu, Theo Rose (probably Romanians' biggest wish, but the singer stated that it was not sure if she submitted or not), Lydia Ruiz (from Spain, she shared her song in Eurovision Romania group), Paula Seling, Katy Rain (also speculated by some fans who have "info", possibly with the song "Lele").
This is one of the official songs submitted, confirmed by the band, and I really like it. It's also becoming kinda known and viral. For the selection, it was revamped and the official version is not yet known.

The 46 songs chosen for the first phase of the semifinal Later update - 28/12/2021 Extremely disappointed with some choices, however it was expected with such a bad jury. Katy Rain will submit her song in the Moldovan selection, while E-An-Na filed an appeal to the jury, in order to revise the results. These 2 were my favourites from what was revealed so far. Now my only hopes are in Wrs, Alex Parker & Bastien, Seeya (Silvia Costache), ARIS, Eugenia Nicolae. And hopefully the selection is not rigged for Cezar.
Later update: E-An-Na were selected for the semifinal after they filed an appeal.

Some updates 1. E-An-Na - "Malere" joins the semifinal. According to the rules, the artists had the opportunity to file appeals within a maximum of 24 hours from the end of the pre-selection stage. The organizers received four complaints: E-an-na - "Malere"; Renate Grad - "Still Alive"; SAVE - "Deep water"; Ioana Popescu - "Between two rains". The appeals analysis commission consists of Cristian Faur, the president of the National Selection jury, Liana Elekeș and Gabriel Scîrleț, music directors with a long experience at Eurovision. At the end of the analysis of the appeals, the commission decided that the song "Malere", performed by E-an-na, should enter the semifinals of the national competition. The other three appeals were rejected.
ESC version, shared by the band: drive.google.com/file/d/1BdRWzBD8pJuP3KvWiRx8a_iy0jVAe3O3/view?fbclid=IwAR3rgoLo2aHKB4SKZSxMQnaRxWSM6eKhXDMRCmTPe5sjgdhG3acaB9pHoU8. 2. The other song of Alex Parker & Bastien to be performed. Alex Parker & Erik Frank & Bastien decided to withdraw the song "Best of me", Erik Frank being unable to travel to Romania for the contest. Instead of this song, the song "All this love", performed by Alex Parker & Bastien, will enter the competition. The song "All this love" had originally met the qualification score in the semifinals, but was not admitted because, according to the rules, an artist cannot enter the competition with two songs.
