Romania: Xandra speaks about Jonas Gladnikoff, Dami Im and Eurovision 2017

We spoke with Xandra, who takes part in the Romanian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. She tells us what it would mean to her to go to Kiev and what she has learned from Dami Im, who represented Australia last year.

Xandra returns to the contest after taking part in Selectia Nationala last year already. She really wanted to do that with her composer Jonas Gladnikoff. “I received many song offers from different producers. However I wanted to stick to the same team. That is my road to success.”

In the video above, you can not only see Xandra’s performance during Romania’s semi final last week. But during the show she also sings “Sound of Silence” from Dami Im! “I like the song very much, and the performance by Dami Im was really awesome.” Below you can find her own a capella version of that Australian hit:
