Romania ROMANIA 2021 - Roxen - Amnesia

[escYOUnited]

Once upon a time I used to know a girl
Ripped jeans, messy hair, shinin' like a pearl
I guess I'm a day sick, I push the night so far away

If you feel what I feel, see what I see
Don't bring yourself down
You are not alone, not alone now

Oh, I lost myself tryna have it all
This world view's in a rush and they say they know it all
Oh, I lost myself tryna have it all
Self love amnesia, don't worry if it got you
'Cause you're not alone, not alone
I try to fight but it's getting strong, getting strong, getting strong
Oh, I lost myself tryna have it all
Self love amnesia, don't worry if it got you
'Cause you're not alone

Giving all they want might make you lose control
Take it, breathe in the words like I should know
People always say, "Be careful what you wishin' for"

If you feel what I feel, see what I see
Don't bring yourself down
You are not alone, not alone now

Oh, I lost myself tryna have it all
This world view's in a rush and they say they know it all
Oh, I lost myself tryna have it all
Self love amnesia, don't worry if it got you
'Cause you're not alone, not alone
I try to fight but it's getting strong, getting strong, getting strong
Oh, I lost myself tryna have it all
Self love amnesia, don't worry if it got you

Self love (self love) is never gone
Self love (self love), put it back on
Oh, self love, self love, you're not alone
Not alone, not alone, self love amnesia

I lost myself tryna have it all
This world view's in a rush and they say they know it all
Oh, I lost myself tryna have it all
Self love amnesia, don't worry if it got you
'Cause you're not alone, not alone
I try to fight but it's getting strong, getting strong, getting strong
Oh, I lost myself tryna have it all
Self love amnesia, don't worry if it got you
'Cause you're not alone​

Am really not sure that she should dance during all the song, it might be really hard for her

 

[Seok-jin]

I love how everyone is such a professional musician and trashes out not only Roxen, but other contestants of this semifinal too.
I am not a fan of the song, would prefer an uptempo....but I do think the performance on the live show will be much better. It's just a rehearsal anyway...

 

[Gera11]

this have to stay in the semi finals. Before rehearsal it sounded like a safe qualifier to me but what've seen today is beyond logic and it would be just a shame for contestants who have stronger voice to let Roxen in. I didn't like her previous entry and I still find her unprofessional and too young for this stange. Poor girl, the pressure on her is enormous

you hating entry what else is new

 

[Leydan]

you hating entry what else is new

Don't worry, people are going for blood with Malta now. x

 

[Sultana]

you hating entry what else is new

heeey i am not hating Romanian entries on a purpose. I didn´t like alcohol you, I like amnesia as a track, i didn´t like yodel it sorry if it happens that romanian entries are not my cup of tea recent years, but its obvious this time Roxen can ruin everything with her vocals. Its good staging CAN BE on point and CAN LIFT her song even more, but she has to do something with her vocals otherwise I will not really be against Roxen´s NQ

I totally agree with you here. Her vocals were weak today, but I don't think she gave 100%. We shall see anyway if that's all she can do. If so, then yes...probably in danger of qualifying if the vocals won't improve.

Vocals dont play an important role in ESC as far as I can see from previous years. And come on Tusse from Sweden sounds super weak as well but he / they is/are a safe qualifier here. The problem with Roxen is that she is in a super strong semi final where each song is a gem in its own way with countries like Sweden, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and bookmaker´s favourite Malta. In this semi everything can make a huge difference and vocals can either ruin or lift chances. So that´s the reason why she can have non qualification. Its not the problem of the song or staging, no she can be just lost between charismatic, perfectly sung entries

 

[MAD20]

I have full faith in Roxen. I'm sure she's going to work really hard these days and slay in semi 1. Go girl!

 

[Realest]

That was bad.
I had a Feeling from Day One.

 

[VikingTiger]

And I just watched Roxen doing nothing to change my prediction of her entry ending up as NQ this year. I know she will probably improve her vocals ... but that will not be enough I think...

 

[Realest]

 

[Citelis]

Not everyone can be on top10. I would predict that still she can qualify but not on top10 in the final.

 

[kruskica]

I'm actually curious how did this happen. Her live performances are always at least okay, sometimes excellent, she had time to practice singing while moving around, did they just not practice hard enough?

 

[Preuss]

The most disappointing act for me today, I'm afraid

jhajkdljkldasjklasjkladjdsjaklkdaslkjldljksjkljklldassalsadjkldajkla i told you she wasn't vocally good


hope this doesn't pull an undeserved Q like blanche did in 2017 (and don't get me wrong i love city lights, but lbr that performance was not a good one)

 

[popavapeur]

I think she's gonna qualify, it's so out there and unique while we have like 4 to 5 acts that are on the same line and all 5 won't qualify.
I mean if Lena with those shaky vocal won I guess they can let Romania slip in the final and put aside the vocal part.
Blanche is a good example too with that tragic staging and performance.

Agree there is no way that all Cyprus, Croatia, Malta, Azerbaijan and Israel will qualify, most likely Azerbaijan and Israel won't due to weak stagings and even the songs don't really deserve to.
