A song with a strong social message, "Goodbye" is the second single of the band after "Indura inima", released just a few months ago The song Goodbye was composed and produced by Alin Neagoe and Alexandru Matei, the lyrics were written by Cristina Caramarcu and the video was directed by Anthony Icuagu.
"We live in a hurrying world where we, the humans forget to see the beauty around us and perhaps ignore our most important "obligation" - to be happy. We fight with ourselves, with our fears, and try to stand up for ourselves. "Goodbye" is a manifestation, an urge to motivate one another not to give up our dreams and to give each other power without considering the color of the skin or social condition. That's why we used the white masks in the music video to point out that basically we are all the same, we are equal in the right to dream and aspire to the highest goals."

"For the show in Romania we went together with Andreea, who created my dress, and bought the materials, I bought the pearls and she sewed in three days by hand everything what was seen. For Lisbon we are preparing something else, " Cristina Caramarcu told. Adi Tetrade, the drummer of the band, adds: "We have costumes for all week ready now".
Cristina explains with precautions: "We have back-up plan - if I can not handle the choreography on stage, because we have a little choreography, we can not say anything about it now, it's just there, so if it doesn't work well with this dress, I have another one, the same color, the same material. The rules are very strict: we have to be at the semifinal just like we are in the final, "the soloist told.
Even if they were advised by the director not to reveal too much about the show in Portugal, the artists also mentioned they will have fireworks and other details to make an exceptional show. "We will have fireworks. We will have the wind for free, but we will not tell you more, " Cristina says. "On 20 April we sent all the instruments to Portugal", Adi says, adding that they had to be very carefully packed, because they are expensive ones - and also had to be tested fireproof.

Александру Кисмару - выпускник Академии музыки им. Джордже Энеску, как и Александру Матей, где он изучал гитару. С большим количеством наград в своем портфолио, которое включает в себя три последовательных награды на Международном фестивале Джорджа Джорджку, Алекс был участником различных групп в стилях поп, фолк и блюз.
Родившись в Болгарии, Корина Матей присоединилась к Детскому хору Варны, когда ей было всего семь лет. Три года спустя она переехала в Румынию, где она начала изучать виолончель. Она является выпускником коммуникаций и PR, сочетая свою страсть к музыке со своими PR-навыками.
"Мы верим в человечество" - это девиз, в соответствии с которым группа проявляет свой художественный дух.

Песня с сильным социальным посылом "Goodbye" - это второй сингл группы после "Indura inima", выпущенного всего несколько месяцев назад. Она была написана и спродюсирована Алином Неагоем и Александру Матеем, текст написала Кристина Карамарку, а видео снял режиссер Антони Икуагу.
"Мы живем в спешащем мире, где мы, люди, забываем видеть красоту вокруг нас и, возможно, игнорировать нашу самую важную "обязанность" - быть счастливыми. Мы боремся с собой, своими страхами и пытаемся защитить себя. "Goodbye" - это манифест с целью мотивировать друг друга не отказываться от наших мечтаний и давать друг другу силу без учета цвета кожи или социального состояния. Вот почему мы использовали белые маски в видеоклипе, чтобы показать, что в основе мы все одинаковые, мы равны в праве мечтать и стремиться к достижению высших целей"

Исполнители поделились лучшими моментами съемок в социальных сетях, показав своим подписчикам лучшие ландшафты региона, а также приключения на пешеходной тропе. Кроме того, на съемках побывала Маргарида Белем, президент Палаты Ароки.
В португальской живописной местности Арока были построены извилистые деревянные тропинки для осмотра достопримечательностей. Общая длина тропинок около восьми километров, прогуливаясь по которым можно с удобством лицезреть потрясающий вид на горную реку Паива, водопады, хрустальные залежи кварца, экзотическую флору и фауну.
The Humans приступили к репетициям своего выступления в Лиссабоне.
Представители Румынии на Евровидении 2018 "The Humans" продолжают работу над своим имиджем.
После того, как была разработана концепция шоу для сцены Лиссабона, артисты провели фотосессию для промо-материалов, которые будут распространены по Европе.
Фотосессия продлилась в студии TVR до поздней ночи. Каждый кадр тщательно анализировал режиссер Петре Нэстасе, который также занимается постановкой сценического номер группы.
"Перед Лиссабоном мы отправимся в промо-тур, где представим нашу песню, примем участие в ряде вечеринок, где будут приглашены и победители национальных отборов из других стран", говорит солистка группы Кристина Карамарку
Песня "Goodbye" уже была хорошо встречена в Берлине, где группа была приглашена выступить на Международной Туристической Ярмарке.

Национальный отбор
![](http://esckaz.com/2018/Romania_selection_logo.jpg)
График проведения отбора был утвержден организационным комитетом TVR 25го октября. Юлиана Марчук вновь стала главой делегации Румынии на Евровидении.
Период приема заявок на участие в конкурсе продлится с 15 ноября по 15 декабря. Песни можно подавать по почте или напрямую (c понедельника по пятницу с 9 утра до 8 вечера) в Регистратуру TVR (Calea Dorobanţilor nr. 191, sector 1, Bucureşti) с корректной отметкой на конверте "Pentru Selecţia Naţională Eurovision 2018", или в электронном виде на eurovision.romania@tvr.ro. Ограничений по национальности авторов или исполнителей не накладывается.
Действительная заявка должна включать: Два CD диска с аудиозаписями в WAV формате (оригинальная версия и инструментальная версия с бэк-вокалами), или в электронном виде через wetrasfer.com, а также полную информацию о заявке: имена композиторов, авторов текста, издателей; подписанную декларацию об ответственности, подтверждающую, что песня следует всем установленным правилам, и не была публично представлена до 1 сентября 2017 года; письменное соглашение между авторами песни и исполнителем; письмо от владельцев авторских прав, разрешающее участие в конкурсе; текст песни и перевод на румынский; копию удостоверений личности авторов и исполнителей; контактный телефон и e-mail; подтверждение регистрационного взноса в размере 200 лей (около 43 евро), которые должны быть положены на банковский счет TVR. Если во время открытия конвертов 16 декабря комиссия сочтет документацию неполной, то участникам будет дано 48 часов на то, чтобы предоставить недостающие документы. Полные правила доступны здесь.
Всего на конкурс поступило 72 заявки. Затем артисты исполнят свои песни в студии TVR 19-21 декабря, и профессиональное жюри определит список из 60 полуфиналистов, который будет публично оглашен 22 декабря. Прослушивания будут сниматься в телестудии со зрителями для последующего показа по ТВ. Жюри будет оценивать песни по шкале от 1 до 10 баллов, основываясь на следующих критериях: а) музыкальная форма песни, развитие музыкальной темы, ритмически-мелодическая композиция; б) реализация оркестровой аранжировки песни; в) изобретательность и оригинальность музыкальной темы; г) стилистическое разнообразие песен в конкурсе; д) качество звука и вокального исполнения. Только одна песня от каждого артиста может быть выбрана в следующую стадию. Любые отказы от участия допустимы только на протяжении 24 часов после оглашения финалистов. Последующие отказы от участия, не сделанные в случае форс-мажора, приведут к выплате штрафа в размере 100 тысяч евро.
Прослушать выбранные 60 песен можно здесь.
Полуфиналы (из 12 участников каждый) и финал шоу состоятся в январе и феврале. Во время полуфиналов национальное жюри проголосует по обычной шкале от 1 до 12 баллов выбрав по три песни, которые выйдут в финал. В случае равенства баллов, победителем станет та песня, которая получит больше 12-балльных оценок от жюри. В финале национального отбора 25 февраля сразятся 15 песен и победитель будет выбран 100% телеголосованием. Зрители смогут проголосовать только один раз за одну песню с телефона. Голосование начнется с начала шоу и продлится еще 60 минут после завершения всех номеров.
Исполняющая обязанности генерального директора TVR Дойна Градеа говорит: "Мы хотим приблизить шоу Евровидения к зрителям во всех уголках страны, в этот особенный год для румын по всему миру. Мы хотим сделать мероприятие одной из ключевых акций, которые общественное телевидение проведет в 2018 году"
