Romania is the only country who really understand the values of Eurovision - gay opera vampire, rap yodelling... this is what we need, this is what we want!
I love how everyone is making fun of this Song despite the fact it's actually pretty catchy, Cezar broke boundaries by creating a Dubstep Opera because as far as I'm aware those haven't been made before. Not to mention it's entertaining as hell.
+Brian Huis you absolutly right ! This theme is perfect, the role of Dracula fit's to the Country, the only thing you can set to kritik is the language ( englisch ... but ok ). All other fit's perfect. but the Winner song "only Teardrops" was also nice. But the problem is : 2, 3 and the other, was not deserved places under such a Artist like Cezar... greetings from Germany, the "always Blame every year" ^^...
Everyone was like wtf because they are so used to boring songs...this guy was so amazing and original....not even saying how talented he is...he is above Eurovision!
@@tasvapontaranne6373 Cezar began playing piano at six years of age.[4] He graduated from the "Carmen Sylva" School of Arts in his hometown and the Milan Conservatory.[4] In Italy, Cezar graduated the bel canto classical singing section with maximum mark.[5] He has also studied Baroque music.[6] In 2001, Ouatu was accepted to the Giuseppe Verdi Music Academy in Milan, and graduated in 2004. In the 2003 International Singing Contest Francisco Viñas and in the 2005 International Voice Competition organized by the Renata Tebaldi Foundation in San Marino he won the "Best Countertenor" prize.

+Terry Bush Same here. The problem is, I don`t know which song should be my favourite: Antidote by Travis Scott, It`s My Life by Cezar or Rum Hee by Shugo Tokumaro. Unless I find a song which is as good as all three of the ones I mentioned?
Since I know ignorance does not hurt the ignorant but the others around him: A countertenor is a type of classical male singing voice whose vocal range is equivalent to that of the female contralto or mezzo-soprano voice types. The countertenor range is generally equivalent to a contralto range, extending from around G3 to D5 or E5, although a sopranist (a specific kind of countertenor) may match the soprano's range of around C4 to C6. Countertenors often are natural baritones or tenors, but rarely use this vocal range in performance. Florin Cezar Ouatu (Romanian pronunciation: [floˈrin ˈt͡ʃezar oˈwatu]; born 18 February 1980 is a Romanian opera countertenor, singer and pianist, sometimes known by the stage nicknames "Cezar The Voice [Vocea]" or simply "Cezar". Son of the late flautist and former teacher at Mozarteum University of Salzburg, Florin Ouatu, he was born into a family of musicians in Ploieşti. Cezar began playing piano at six years of age. He graduated from the "Carmen Sylva" School of Arts in his hometown and the Milan Conservatory. In Italy, Cezar graduated the bel canto classical singing section with maximum mark. He has also studied Baroque music. In 2001, Ouatu was accepted to the Giuseppe Verdi Music Academy in Milan, and graduated in 2004. In the 2003 International Singing Contest Francisco Viñas, he won the "Best Countertenor" prize. Cezar made his professional opera stage debut in 2007 at La Fenice, Venice. He has since appeared in further opera performances in Baroque opera roles. Ouatu released his first pop-opera single "Cinema Paradiso" on Christmas Eve 2012. In May 2013, Cezar represented Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 with the song "It's My Life", and finished in 13th place with 65 points at the end of the contest. A week later, on 25 May 2013, he performed alongside Andrea Bocelli and Angela Gheorghiu at Bocelli's concert in Romania at the Romexpo, which led to a collaboration with Vangelis.
Would he really do well as an operatic countertenor though? All of his higher singing is falsetto, and while it does sound kind of "operatic" due to the dramatic "dopey" low larynx sound and the fluttery quality (which by all means is impressive) it doesn't seem like he'd be able to project it very well. It sounds kind of weak and his pronunciation leaves a lot to be desired, to the point of being borderline terrible. I honestly doubt anyone could hear him over an orchestra...
deathpill100 You just questioned whether he'd do well as a countertenor opera singer after reading that he literally IS one. Did you even read about him at all? That's his job. It's what he does. Out of all the things, you point out his pronounciation; I'd like to see a native English speaker sing like THIS in a completely foreign language and pronounce the words perfectly. He has an incredible voice, and again, he IS an opera singer. And yes, he's successful and is doing amazingly well.
helpmeimpoor well damn, you're right, I just read that now. I admit I didn't read all of it before. I still think he sounds kind of weak though and this song is frankly quite embarrassing
He sounds "weak" because the style of the song makes him sound like that (like the dubstep part; don't know why anyone would try to mix opera and pop / dubstep). As for the song, it's Eurovision... a lot of people go crazy for this kind of performances. If there's one thing I've learned about Eurovision is that the more of a show you put on, the more chances you have to be admired / win. Hence the red dildos in the background and the vampire costume.
Let's hope GB and Germany lost their hope to win so they'll send a fucked up entry like this one next year, it's our only hope to make Eurovision weird again
I remember that, in 2013, I voted for Romania. It was the first time (and the only time) I voted at the Eurovision contest. I also remember that Romania has received a point from my country, I was so glad. :') I loved Cezar's performance, it was surprising ! :D
This was such an original song that people had trouble categorizing it, so it fell through the cracks. To this day, I think this song was the best at Eurovision 2013 and should have won.
Everytime I listen to this song, I have to laugh.. not for seconds, but laugh for minutes.. I really like the song, the most original song I've heard in a while. Bravo Romania ;) (Greets from Holland)
heartborne123 I'm sorry heartborne, but don't make my comment look negative okay? My comment is positive and I like the song. I think that the part no-one had seen coming is the reason why I laugh about it. Weren't you surprised when you heard this for the first time?
Well i don't understand why his performance have so many dislikes...This guy is very talented, music and lyrics of this song is so beautiful, performance was cool and interesting (the most original in this year) and his voice...i'm in love)) But if you people don't understand real music that is your problems! Bravo Romania!!!
I'm watching this video again, six months after it was uploaded, and it's still a really good song and an amazing singer. If the contest was just on musical talent, Cezar should have won.
He's actually really talented. His voice sounds so low at the beginning of the song and when he starts singing opera he manages to reach the right notes. Congrats from Portugal❤
I'm tearing up, such a strong song, his voice is beautiful, and the acting on stage really adds a lot. He and his stage actors will always be my Number one!
One of the most beautiful things I heared in my entire LIFE !! Heared this in a recap of Romanian Preselections, back to February 2013... Second last song of the recap, tall handsome baby appearing in a luscious picture, with his song, 'It's My Life'. SMASH ! right in my face... I HAD my favourite. Hadn't won Selectia yet, then he did some days later, and IT MADE MY LIFE. My FAV ESC Song EVER... Love from PecheMelba, Te Iubim Cezar
stewart baird. The hero of Earth, mister Stewart! You saved us from the got damn "e"! One mistake, the end of the world... That's why persons like you are so funny... Oh, I bet you also did some mistakes on youtube comment section like many others, because this happens sometimes, if you didn't knew...
Gabox PV Mihai Traisariu (guy who sang Tornero) from the star who he was in 2006 he became at TV only to cry that his hair fell of and to sing songs like Mos Craciun ... esti nebun ( search it ) , what happend to him ?
I remember I first watched this when I was at a friend's house with another one of my friends. It was 2 in the morning, we were bored, and we decided to watch this. When THIS GUY came on, we were laughing SO HARD and trying not to wake the parents!
I don't understand why Cezar gets that much hatred . This is very unusual to see , I agree , but Eurovision is a nonconformist show . Maybe you guys think it's "gay" , but I call it original , not because I'm Romanian but because of the unicity of Cezar . This song it's catchy and easy to perceive . We , Romanians , always knew to astonish the foreigner . Maybe , inside your mind , you like this song but this is "unusual" and that's why you say it's bad . Cezar was a kind of Conchita . I still think this song was very original and catchy . Feel free to judge me , but that's my opinion and I can't say like most of you guys say . Oh , and no , Romania's not all about vampires and flying tampons , gays with chest-revealing "dresses" . Romania is unicity . Deal with it , haters ~! ))
***** I actually love this song! :)) it was a nice change from the usual songs, and I wished this one won but nobody pays attention to hard work and original.
Eurovision is nonconformist??? The only way to win is to sing a typical eurovision song. He get's hatred because it's weird. But he sings incredibly well! Wow how he can get the high tunes. Also the performance is outstanding. But the content is just ridiculous.
Wouter Remmerswaal "The only way to win is to sing a typical Eurovision entry". You can't call this year's winner & song a typical Eurovision entry though, can you? I loved Cezar, absolutely loved him - 5 of us in our family with 10 phone calls each and Cezar got very nearly all of them. I love his voice and I love those dancers as well. Cezar might have been a bit of a trail blazer, but let's hope that the controversial Cezar and controversial Conchita mark the end of the dance tunes/typical Eurovision entry songs; I'd be glad to see the back of them.
I just don't understand how he can sing that high! I laughed the first time but that was because I was surprised, and then when I saw this video I also laughed again because it was a guy the whole time and I thought it was a girl. I'm sorry for laughing but I can't hold in my laughter but still Romania's song is pretty catch after listening to this a couple of times. Plus I think the singer is cool I've never seen a guy that can sing that high.
I'm also Romanian and besides the fact that he does not have any kind of accent in English and it sound abysmal... And this is just trying to cash in on the success of the previous winner Conchita Wurst... This is not gay, homosexual, bisexual or transvestite... This is just a random dude without a voice betting on the stupidity of an audience to vote for him because of the "nonconformist" appearance. Talent for some time now has not been a necessity in music... these so called "artists" simply rehash what is currently "in" and cash in on it while it still is popular, only to eventually die out and slide into anonymity... They will never be remembered and can only hope to be the MC Hammer of the new generations. A one hit wonder, to be remembered for one song and go bankrupt...
It was weird, I could'n watch it and I cut the image. I only heard it and I can say he was good. I will hear him again anytime, but never watch (what was he doing there? Horror movie production? Vampire at the opera?!!! Dracula at the opera?? Than he was missed his vampire teeth :))) ).
Andrés Soto Suárez I've already heard Elina Nechayeva's operatic cover of Volcano Man, but now that I think about it, I'm sure Cezar would do a great job at it as well! 😁
When I read that the Fire Saga characters were based off actual singers, I went, ‘aha! I know exactly who they’re talking about!’ and searched ‘sparkly vampire EuroVision’ 😂
Amazing, weird perhaps but tremendous effect has this singer. I love the song simply because the performance is so spectacular, and amazing voice by a male singer
I had expected that someday Romania will send Dracula on Eurovision.
Your expectatives became true!
They also did in 2016 but they didnt sadley made it to the scene..

how can there be so much art in one little song?
Another Romanian eurovisionsong i adore. at leat three years in a row they were good.
Zalilah, this one and now Miracle. Well done!
4 years ago: Paula Seling & Ovi - Playing with fire was the best.
Alex Petrea playing with fire is still one of my favorite songs!
Im Romanian an im very proud about our talents! Love you Cezar =3
Gabox PV Mihai Traisariu (guy who sang Tornero) from the star who he was in 2006 he became at TV only to cry that his hair fell of and to sing songs like Mos Craciun ... esti nebun ( search it ) , what happend to him ?
Apoi da
I seem to be the only one actually liking this song, I think it's fantastic :D
He's very handsome and very talented! This song is 🔥🔥🔥 Discovered it only in 2021 and i can't stop listening.
Wow. Not sure how many Men singers i've known that can go that high!
Most likely why he was picked as the performer of Romania.
He s really talented!
Vitas
This is PURE ART!!! For you muggles who don't see / feel it, well, I am sorry.
Yeah :), Romania Best In The World
I remember I first watched this when I was at a friend's house with another one of my friends. It was 2 in the morning, we were bored, and we decided to watch this. When THIS GUY came on, we were laughing SO HARD and trying not to wake the parents!
This guy was robbed, he should have won just for originality and effort!
People who mock this song clearly has no idea of how hard it is to hit those notes.
Anyone else on a Eurovision binge?
HERE :)
My whole life
Kathycoin hell yeah
Oh yes! Just say when!
***** Thank ou for telling us that, the Club of Interesting Stuff is screaming with joy.....
Amazing! I love this performance! One of my all time favorite
I can't believe people hates this song, he was absolute amazing and he's a talented man!
This song makes me so happy :D it's still the best Eurovision song ever!
He is fantastic!
One of the greatest Eurovision performances.
Cezar was a visionary and he has such a versatile voice! After so many years I am still seeing him as number one!
I don't understand why Cezar gets that much hatred . This is very unusual to see , I agree , but Eurovision is a nonconformist show . Maybe you guys think it's "gay" , but I call it original , not because I'm Romanian but because of the unicity of Cezar . This song it's catchy and easy to perceive . We , Romanians , always knew to astonish the foreigner . Maybe , inside your mind , you like this song but this is "unusual" and that's why you say it's bad . Cezar was a kind of Conchita . I still think this song was very original and catchy . Feel free to judge me , but that's my opinion and I can't say like most of you guys say . Oh , and no , Romania's not all about vampires and flying tampons , gays with chest-revealing "dresses" . Romania is unicity . Deal with it , haters ~! ))
***** I actually love this song! :)) it was a nice change from the usual songs, and I wished this one won but nobody pays attention to hard work and original.
Eurovision is nonconformist???
The only way to win is to sing a typical eurovision song.
He get's hatred because it's weird. But he sings incredibly well! Wow how he can get the high tunes. Also the performance is outstanding. But the content is just ridiculous.

"The only way to win is to sing a typical Eurovision entry". You can't call this year's winner & song a typical Eurovision entry though, can you? I loved Cezar, absolutely loved him - 5 of us in our family with 10 phone calls each and Cezar got very nearly all of them. I love his voice and I love those dancers as well. Cezar might have been a bit of a trail blazer, but let's hope that the controversial Cezar and controversial Conchita mark the end of the dance tunes/typical Eurovision entry songs; I'd be glad to see the back of them.
I just don't understand how he can sing that high! I laughed the first time but that was because I was surprised, and then when I saw this video I also laughed again because it was a guy the whole time and I thought it was a girl. I'm sorry for laughing but I can't hold in my laughter but still Romania's song is pretty catch after listening to this a couple of times. Plus I think the singer is cool I've never seen a guy that can sing that high.
I'm also Romanian and besides the fact that he does not have any kind of accent in English and it sound abysmal...
And this is just trying to cash in on the success of the previous winner Conchita Wurst...
This is not gay, homosexual, bisexual or transvestite... This is just a random dude without a voice betting on the stupidity of an audience to vote for him because of the "nonconformist" appearance.
Talent for some time now has not been a necessity in music... these so called "artists" simply rehash what is currently "in" and cash in on it while it still is popular, only to eventually die out and slide into anonymity... They will never be remembered and can only hope to be the MC Hammer of the new generations. A one hit wonder, to be remembered for one song and go bankrupt...
He's so serious, it's almost heartbreaking
It was weird, I could'n watch it and I cut the image. I only heard it and I can say he was good. I will hear him again anytime, but never watch (what was he doing there? Horror movie production? Vampire at the opera?!!! Dracula at the opera?? Than he was missed his vampire teeth :))) ).
who's here after watching Eurovision Song Contest: the story of fire saga? and after watching Alexander Lemtov's performance?
meeeee....now go check montenegro's slavko performance. You will thank me later :))))
Andrés Soto Suárez I've already heard Elina Nechayeva's operatic cover of Volcano Man, but now that I think about it, I'm sure Cezar would do a great job at it as well! 😁
We, his voice in a blink straightly reminded me to Cezar
...and realized that the movie characters are actually toned down versions of real Eurovision contenders...
When I read that the Fire Saga characters were based off actual singers, I went, ‘aha! I know exactly who they’re talking about!’ and searched ‘sparkly vampire EuroVision’ 😂
even in 2021 you make me listen to u, u are amazing babe
Amazing, weird perhaps but tremendous effect has this singer. I love the song simply because the performance is so spectacular, and amazing voice by a male singer
greetings from greece.So awesome!
his voice is amazing!
OMG
This remains awesome. Romania always have great and original performances.
