Thank you, Europe!

Thank you for voting for Alexandra Căpitănescu and her song, ”Choke Me”!

Your voice has been heard loud and clear - Romania has received 2nd place from the televote across Europe and the Rest of the World, receiving points from EVERY competing country!

This means the world to us, and especially to Alexandra, whose dream was to represent the tricolored flag at Eurovision one day. Thanks to you, that dream came true last night!

This is perhaps the best result Romania has ever achieved at the contest - and we couldn't be more proud of our girl from Galați - one big dream, a lot of hard work and enormous talent!

Thank you Alexandra Căpitănescu and her wonderful team who made this moment possible - from the stage director @jan_bors to choreographer Emil Rengle and to her wonderful boys Bogdan, Matei, Luca and Thomas - you have all wrote Eurovision history! Let's not forget the talented muse Daria Cristea who performed as the perfect Alter Ego for Alexandra!

Thank you to Universal Music Romania for the support that you have given to the Romanian delegation this year - it has truly been a superb journey together!

Per aspera ad astra - to the stars and beyond, with Alexandra being one of them!

@sohretbirsilah This is also a Romanian saying too 🤭

The moment Romania 🇷🇴 has received 12 points from the Jury in Luxembourg 🇱🇺

A schéine gudden owend indeed, as the Jury in Luxembourg has awarded their 12 points to our own Alexandra Căpitănescu - a very pleasant surprise indeed!

As a matter of fact, Luxembourg is the country that awarded Romania the most amount of points this year - receiving 22 out of 24 maximum possible points from the Grand Dutchy!

What's even more interesting is that this is the first time Romania and Luxembourg compete at the Eurovision Song Contest together, so what a lovely start of a musical and cultural exchange between us!

Thank you, Luxembourg - we hope we can repay the gesture next year! ✨

@Kellyforwomen @BBC That's the exact problem - you haven't read the lyrics properly.
It reads:

"All I need is your love, I want IT to Choke Me".
She wants to be overwhelmed by the love of the said partner in the song, not trampled by negativity.

[Eurovision Romania Community @ERCommunity_]

We speak for both ourselves and Alexandra herself when we say we come from a country where violence against women is at alarming levels - and we couldn't accept or agree with such practices against women (or people, at any rate). It is disgraceful and dehumanizing.

The problem here is how you interpret the message in a way that is convenient to you and try to raise awareness against something that has no fundament whatsoever.

The answer remains the same - Alexandra is an artist that deserves to shine on the Eurovision stage and has the right to freedom of artistic expression. And, thankfully, no narrow minded people will be able to change that.

Thank you for the time on this matter!

The moment Romania has qualified for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026

What a night this has been - Alexandra Căpitănescu has qualified for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 with her song ”Choke Me” and wrote Romanian Eurovision history!

A lot of emotions and excitement awaited as the announcement of the qualifiers came - but Alexandra sailed through and will perform again on the 16th of May alongside other 24 competing nations!

Thank you for this moment and for this energy - we will surely keep the momentum going!

[Eurovision Romania Community @ERCommunity_]

”Choke Me” is an anthem for those who feel overwhelmed by daily life and by emotions that literally cripple you - and all the person in the song wishes for is to be showered with love, or to be more precise, overwhelmed by it.

Taking the message as a metaphor for literal choking is a gross understatement and, if we dare say, an insult - especially when time and time again things have been explained by the singer herself.

Please use your time more constructively to actively work to combat household violence and femicide - not by accusing a 22 year old of being pro-strangulation.

[Kelly @Kellyforwomen]

Unfortunately, the 'Choke me' Eurovision song went through to the finals.

Please sign and share the petition, for the @BBC to not to air it.
