Ovi also has a song in the Belgian selection this year, together with Philip Halloun (who co-wrote Miracle), Simen Eriksrud and Cecelie Harboe he wrote She's After My Piano in 2011 for himself and Danish singer Ceelay, but it remained unreleased.
2 Fabiola ft. Loredana performed it in the 2nd Belgian semi final. Even though it didn't reach the final, it was the biggest hit of the Belgian selection.
update: Ovi and Paula recorded She's After My Piano for Ovi's new album.
Eriksrud was the producer of 2010's Playing With Fire.
Since the semi's were introduced Romania has never missed the final and they made it to the top five three times since.
Paula Seling and Ovi had the best result in recent years: their Playing With Fire was #3 in 2010.
Elena Georghe only ended 19th in 2009 but she managed to pick up a few international hits afterwards.
Hotel FM (2011) was #17, Mandinga (2012) #12 and last years Cezars operatic acrobatics took Romania to #13.
