Românii au talent
Românii au talent is a TV show which began airing on 18 February 2011. The project acts as a Romanian version of the franchise Got Talent, developed by Simco Limited. The show is hosted by Smiley and Pavel Bartoș, while the opening judge panel consisted of singer Andra, presenter Andi Moisescu, and dancer Mihai Petre; following Petre's exclusion for the fifth season, TV presenter Mihaela Rădulescu and actor Florin Călinescu joined the panel. The winner of "Românii au talent" is awarded with €120,000.
Auditions
The auditions take place in front of the judges and a live audience at different cities across Romania and Moldova. Unlike X Factor, at any time during the audition, the judges may show disapproval to the act by pressing a buzzer which lights a large red "X" on the stage, indicating that they particularly dislike the act and do not wish the performance to continue. If all the judges press their buzzers, the act must end immediately.Callbacks
After the auditions, the judges have to whittle almost 200 successful acts down to just 48, 60 or 50. All of the performers are called back to discover if they have progressed to the live semi-finals.Season synopses
