Super Saturday Preview 1 - Romania - Let It Shine


First up in our Super Saturday preview is Romania. Over the past couple of weekends they've held two qualify rounds to create a final with 12 songs.

The one to beat looks to be Shine by all male trio Biondo. And guess what? It's co-written by Måns Zelmerlöw, who sang Cara Mia in last year's Melodifestival. Joining Måns on writing credits are fellow Swedes Henrik Wikström and Niklas Edberger, who have composed many a tune for the Swedish Eurovision heats.

Shine is a powerful, opera-lite song, aimed at those who enjoy the likes of Il Divo and G4, and, should Romania choose it on Saturday, we reckon it will sail through to the Eurovision Final.
