2. Loredana (real name: Loredana Groza, born 10th of June, 1970 in Onesti, Romania) is considered, by and large, the most succesful, extravagant and charismatic female pop star in Romania.
She started singing at the age of three and she continued to sing throughout her school years. When she was 14, she was noticed by composers Dumitru Morosanu and Jold Kerestely, who invited her to Bucharest for the talent show "Steaua fara nume" ("The Star Without a Name"), although she was too young, as the minimum admission age was 17. She competed in the talent show in 1986, at 16 years old, and won the big prize. In the same year, she competed in the National Music Festival in Mamaia, where she got the best newcomer prize, which made her the youngest winner ever.
In 1987, at Costinesti Music Festival, she met the famous pop music composer Adrian Enescu. He wrote the song "O inima de 16 ani" for her, and after it became a hit, he decided to write a whole album for her. Thus Loredana's first album, "Buna seara, iubito" was released in 1988. Although the title song was not broadcast on Romanian television because of the Communist censorship, the album was a huge succes, being sold in one million copies. In 1989, Adrian Enescu and Lucian Avramescu produced her second album, "Un buchet de trandafiri", that was also successful.
Her career recorded a hiatus until 1994, when Loredana came back with the album "Atitudine" and a live show meant to revive her status as a pop star. In 1995 she toured the country with the band Directia 5. 1995 was also the year when she released the album "Nascuta toamna". In 1996 she released the album "Tomilio" and started the collaboration with ProTV and Media Pro Music. In 1997 she gave an unplugged concert at the National Theatre. She also featured on the hugely sucessful hit single "Lumea e a mea" by B.U.G. Mafia. In 1999 she released the sucessful EP "Aromaroma".
In 2000, Loredana appears on the cover of "Playboy" magazine, which sells out and confirms her as an undisputed sex symbol, more than ten years after her career took off. In 2001, Loredana hires the help of Adrian Enescu again for the album "Diva Inamorata".
Two albums inspired by popular music follow in 2002 "Agurida" and "Zaraza". In 2003, the album "Fata cu sosete de diamant" is released, followed by "Extravaganza" (2005) and "Jamparalele" (2006).
In 2006, she was the host of the MTV Romania Awards. In 2007, she was the warm-up artist for George Michael's concert in Bucharest.
Loredana is married to the TV producer Andrei Boncea. They have a daughter, Elena.

Extravaganza
Loredana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Suflet fericit,
N-am sa spun nimanui
Dar nu vei sti cum te-am gasit
Ce imi trece prin minte
E un gand ce nu-i cuminte
Si cu sapca intr-o parte
Imi permit s-ajung departe.
Refren(x2):
Eu te-am gasit
Si n-am sa spun
Cum am facut...
II:
Te-am asteptat sa fim doi
Suflet fericit,
Fac ce vreau, daca vreau
Imi e bine ca te-am gasit
Si nu-mi pasa ce vine
Daca tu esti langa mine
Vantul poate sa bata
Ma invelesc cu tine toata.

In Loredana's song Extravaganza, the lyrics describe the joy and excitement of finding someone special. The singer has found their soulmate and feels incredibly happy, but they are hesitant to reveal how they met. The lyrics also suggest that the singer may have had some unconventional methods for finding their partner, as indicated by the line "Ce imi trece prin minte/E un gand ce nu-i cuminte" (What's on my mind/Is a thought that's not smart). The singer is unapologetic about their feelings and indulges in their happiness, as shown in the lines "Fac ce vreau, daca vreau/Imi e bine ca te-am gasit" (I do what I want/I'm happy that I found you).
The chorus, which is repeated twice, emphasizes the singer's desire to keep the details of their meeting private: "Eu te-am gasit/Si n-am sa spun/Cum am facut" (I found you/And I won't say/How I did it).
Overall, Loredana's Extravaganza is a fun and catchy song that celebrates the joy of finding love. The lyrics suggest that the singer may have had to take some risks or act unconventionally to find their partner, but they are unapologetically happy with their choice.

Te-am vazut, esti al meu
I saw you, you are mine
Suflet fericit,
Happy soul,
N-am sa spun nimanui
I won't tell anyone
Dar nu vei sti cum te-am gasit
But you won't know how I found you
Ce imi trece prin minte
What goes through my mind
E un gand ce nu-i cuminte
Is a thought that's not right
Si cu sapca intr-o parte
And with my hat on one side
Imi permit s-ajung departe.
I allow myself to go far.
Eu te-am gasit
I found you
Si n-am sa spun
And I won't tell
Cum am facut...
How I did it...
Te-am asteptat sa fim doi
I waited for us to be two
Fac ce vreau, daca vreau
I do what I want, if I want
Imi e bine ca te-am gasit
I'm happy that I found you
Si nu-mi pasa ce vine
And I don't care what comes
Daca tu esti langa mine
If you're next to me
Vantul poate sa bata
The wind can blow
Ma invelesc cu tine toata.
I wrap myself up with you completely.

Suflet fericit,
N-am sa spun nimanui
Unde anume si cum te-am gasit
Ce imi trece prin minte
E un gand ce nu-i cuminte
Si cu sapca intr-o parte
Imi permit s-ajung departe.

Una dintre cele mai bune piese romanesti fara discutie. Are un vibe extraordinar piesa asta, e geniala!
@vvalentin85
Sunt foarte transant cu artistii in general, iar Lordena nu e printre artistii romani pe care ii simpatizez (cred ca e lesne de inteles de ce), dar asta e una dintre cele mai catchy si dansabile melodii romaneasti pe care le-am auzit. De cand a aparut mi-a ramas in cap. N-am mai auzit stilul asta la noi. Tobele se potrivesc de minune cu vioara care unge pe suflet si cu vocea ei. Piesa asta e o capodopera dpmdv.
