Romania: Selecția Națională 2008
Semi-final 1
WithdrawalWildcardCătălin Josan qualified from Semi-final 1 with "When We're Together". Following his qualification in Semi-Final 2 with "Run Away" he withdrew "When We're Together" to avoid a vote split. New Effect feat. Genţiana was offered a place in the Final instead, but they voluntarily withdrew due to schedule interferences. Adrian Enache was next, but he was also unavailable for the Final. Ultimately Yanna was given the last wildcard with "C'est la vie".

Semi-final 2
WithdrawalWildcardUpon plagiarism accusations which emerged from an anonymous email sent to TVR, VH2 voluntarily withdrew their entry "Follow Me" to avoid further controversy. Nico was appointed as a replacement with "Fight for Life", however, the singer turned down the offer since she decided to compete in the Final with her and Vlad's song "Pe-o margine de lume" from Semi-final 1. As Cătălin Josan also took back his entry "When We're Together" in order to participate with "Run Away" only, Rednex and Ro-Mania's "Railroad, Railroad" was performed in the Final instead.
