The one day I was proud to be romanian
There was a singing contest in Spain(for talented people from other countries who came to live in Spain)called Hijos de Babel and yesterday ,when it ended,a romanian was the winner after dominating the contest as a whole.His name is Costel Busuioc ,a poor man who had to work hard and live a hard life to support his family of 5(wife and 4 children) . This news doesn't mean much for most people but for us,the romanian people, it does because many seem to mistake us for something we're not. Many gypsies who have a romanian nationality go from stealing in Romania to stealing in Spain or Italy and cause trouble so many people in Spain and Italy got the wrong impression that the romanian people is either made of bad gypsies,stupid gypsies or just stupid,bad people who don't deserve anyone to give them the time of day.All this is fake because : a) we're not gypsies but latins just like the spanish and italian and french,etc and b) we might not be the richest country in Europe and we are governed by idiots but we are not stupid nor bad. This man,Costel ,proved to the people watching that show that romanians are different and he is the perfect example.He proved to be a very modest,polite,bright,funny young man with an amazing talent (he sang opera without previous music classes or education).Now he received a Sony BMG contract and will start taking lessons to become really good ,reach his full potential(some people asked some specialists who said he probably has more talent and potential than Bocelli and he only needs to learn how to sing very correctly )
So here are some videos,please view,he's really quite good ! The first one is from the final,the second is from when he sang Ave Maria and the third when he sang O Sole Mio
