UPDATE ESC Romania semifinalists: the list has been updated after the appeal session ended

Another song has been added to the list of semifinalists of the National Selection Eurovision Song Contest 2022, after the appeals were analyzed. According to the rules, the artists had the opportunity to submit appeals within a maximum of 24 hours from the publishing of the results of the preselection.

The organizers received four appeals: E-an-na - "Malere"; Renate Grad - "Still Alive"; SAVE - "Deep water"; Ioana Popescu - "Between two rains".

The Appeal Committee consists of Cristian Faur, the president of the National Selection jury, Liana Elekeș and Gabriel Scîrleț, music directors with a long experience at Eurovision.

After the appeals were analyzed, the Committee decided that the song "Malere", performed by E-an-na, should enter the semifinals of the national competition. The other three appeals were rejected.

At the same time, 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 the song "Best of me", the song "All this love", performed by Alex Parker & Bastien, will enter the competition.

The song "All this love" had originally obtained the qualification score in the semifinals, but was not admitted because, according to the rules, an artist cannot participate in the contest with two songs.
