Draw - Semi-Final 2, Place 14

Hotel FM formed in 2005 and is made up David Bryan (singer), Gabriel Băruţa (piano) and Alex Szűz (drums). David is British, although Gabriel and Alex are Romanian. In 2010, they participated in the Romanian National Selection, "Selecţia Naţională". Their song "Come As One" placed fourth on the night, with Paula and Ovi winning the competition. In 2011, they took part in Selecţia Naţională again, with the song "Change". They recieved 10 points from the Televote, and 12 from the Jury, thus winning the show.

"Change" was written by Gabriel Băruţa and Alexandra Ivan, and was composed by Gabriel Băruţa. Former Romanian representatives Mihai Trăistariu and Paula Seling, praised the song on its good beat, message and vocal performance. The song entered the Romanian charts at number 98.

Current Betting Odds (William Hill) - 100/1

My Prediction - I think this could qualify, but they have a long way to go to beat "Playing with Fire".

                          Noroc!
