= Semi-final

= The semi-final took place over two rounds between 9 and 12 February 2022. In the first round, forty-five songs competed and twenty qualified to the second round. A jury panel first selected fifteen songs to advance. The remaining thirty entries then faced a public online vote which took place on the Eurovision Romania Facebook page on 9 and 10 February 2022 which determined an additional five qualifiers. The twenty qualifying entries were announced on 10 February 2022 during the TVR evening news broadcast. In the second round which took place on 12 February 2022 and hosted by Anca Mazilu and Bogdan Stănescu with Ilinca hosting segments from the green room, a jury panel selected ten songs to qualify to the final. The members of the jury panel that voted during the semi-final were: (singer), (opera singer, actress), (singer, producer), Cristian Faur (composer, producer) and (composer, conductor).

= Final

= The final took place on 5 March 2022, hosted by Eda Marcus and with Ilinca hosting segments from the green room. Ten songs competed and the winner, "" performed by Wrs, was determined by the combination of the votes from a five-member jury panel (5/6) and public televoting (1/6). Each juror voted by assigning scores from 1–8, 10 and 12 points to their preferred songs, with the juries awarding 290 points in total. The viewer vote was assigned by dividing the votes received by each song by the number of votes of the song that gained the most viewer votes. This number was then multiplied by 12 and rounded to two decimal places. For example, if song A received the most viewer votes and song B received 10% of song A's votes, then song A would be awarded 12 televoting points and song B would be awarded 1.2 televoting points. The members of the jury panel that voted during the final were: (singer), (opera singer, actress), (singer, producer), Cristian Faur (composer, producer) and (composer, conductor).

On 25 January 2022, an allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. Romania has been placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 12 May 2022, and has been scheduled to perform in the second half of the show. Once all the competing songs for the 2022 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other.

Semi-final

Wrs took part in technical rehearsals on 3 and 6 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 11 and 12 May. This included the jury show on 11 May where the professional juries of each country watched and voted on the competing entries. The Romanian performance featured Wrs dressed in a long-sleeved red ruffled shirt and black leather trousers and performing together with four dancers. The performance began with focus on two of the dancers who are lit with a low level light to give a silhouette effect before the camera panned out to reveal Wrs who then performed a choreographed routine with the dancers throughout the song, which included Wrs' shirt being pulled off to reveal a silver bejewelled black vest top. The stage displayed red and yellow colours with the LED screens displaying the song lyrics and a golden pyrotechnic effect in the final chorus. The four dancers that joined Wrs on stage were Andrei Iulian Angelescu, Emanuel Neagu, Ruxandra Anamaria and Vivienne Meda, while an off-stage backing vocalist, Laurian Manta, was also featured for the performance. The stage director for the Romanian performance was Aurel Badea. At the end of the show, Romania was announced as having finished in the top 10 and subsequently qualifying for the grand final. It was later revealed that Romania placed ninth in the semi-final, receiving a total of 118 points: 100 points from the televoting and 18 points from the juries.

Final

Shortly after the second semi-final, a winners' press conference was held for the ten qualifying countries. As part of this press conference, the qualifying artists took part in a draw to determine which half of the grand final they would subsequently participate in. This draw was done in the order the countries appeared in the semi-final running order. Romania was drawn to compete in the first half. Following this draw, the shows' producers decided upon the running order of the final, as they had done for the semi-finals. Romania was subsequently placed to perform in position 2, following the entry from the

Wrs performed a repeat of his semi-final performance during the final on 14 May. Romania placed eighteenth in the final, scoring 65 points: 53 points from the televoting and 12 points from the juries.

Voting

Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, each member of a national jury may only take part in the panel once every three years, and no jury was permitted to discuss of their vote with other members or be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member in an anonymised form as well as the nation's televoting results were released shortly after the grand final. Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Romania and awarded by Romania in the second semi-final and grand final of the contest, and the breakdown of the jury voting and televoting conducted during the two shows:

Jury vote issues

In a statement released during the broadcast of the grand final, the

EBU The European Broadcasting Union (EBU; french: Union européenne de radio-télévision, links=no, UER) is an alliance of public service media organisations whose countries are within the European Broadcasting Area or who are members of the Co ...

revealed that six countries, including Romania, were found to have irregular jury voting patterns during the second semi-final. Consequently, these countries were given substitute aggregated jury scores for both the second semi-final and the grand final (shown above), calculated from the corresponding jury scores of countries with historically similar voting patterns as determined by the pots for the semi-final allocation draw held in January. Their televoting scores were unaffected. The Flemish broadcaster VRT later reported that the juries involved had made agreements to vote for each others' entries to secure qualification to the grand final. During the broadcast of the final, Romania's votes were read by the EBU's Executive Supervisor,

, instead of the scheduled spokesperson, Eda Marcus. This was attributed to connection difficulties during the voting, however the Azerbaijani broadcaster İTV, whose jury had also been identified as showing irregular voting patterns, released a statement implying that this was instead due to their refusal to present the calculated aggregate scores. On 19 May, the EBU released a further statement clarifying the voting irregularities identified in the second semi-final. This confirmed that the six countries involved had consistently scored each others' entries disproportionately highly in the second semi-final: the Romanian jury, as well as the juries from Azerbaijan, Georgia and San Marino, had each ranked the other five countries' entries as their top five, proving beyond statistical coincidence that they had colluded to achieve a higher placing. This prompted the suspension of Romania's intended jury scores (shown below) in favour of the EBU's calculated aggregate scores, presented above.{{cite web, date=19 May 2022, title=EBU Statement: Irregular voting patterns during Second Semi-Final 2022, url=https://eurovision.tv/mediacentre/release/ebu-statement-irregular-voting-2022, access-date=19 May 2022, publisher=European Broadcasting Union The Romanian broadcaster TVR subsequently released a press statement revealing the Romanian jury's intended votes for the grand final, which had also been suspended. The statement went on to criticise the EBU for their communication and also suggested that other juries had participated in separate incidents of vote manipulation, although this was strongly refuted by the EBU. TVR concluded their statement by threatening the future participation of Romania in the contest as a result of the response to the incident. On 29 July, Romanian news outlet ''Impact.ro'' reported that TVR had dropped all objections towards the EBU regarding the exclusion of the Romanian jury. {{col-begin {{col-2 {, class="wikitable" , - , +Romania's suspended jury results (Semi-final 2) , - !
