Gay ícons
Are they Gay icons about your place? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.16.143.107 (talk) 13:02, 8 July 2004 (UTC)
 * No. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dani Sacota (talk • contribs) 22:37, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Nope. I can understand the confusion and/or joke, though. They were what we here in the U.S. call a "boy band". There's always jokes about boy band members being gay over here, probably because sappy love songs (stuff that mentions crying, even. In other words, not exactly the manliest of music) are usually a staple of boy band type groups. I have to wonder why though that the handful of female singing groups (excluding t.A.T.u., whose manager cooked up a gimmick to promote them as a pair of lesbians) never seem to have lesbianism jokes thrown about. Maybe some guys get a bit jealous because ladies often like the girly men more? ;) Runa27 17:41, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * They were definitly gay and never hid it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.49.242.230 (talk) 22:52, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Dan definitely likes girls... but if you watch their videos (especially Dragostea din tei), it's quite difficult to believe that they didn't all partake in a little gaysex once in an every day. — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 23:55, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I've seen their music videos, especially their solo stuff. If their target audience is to appeal to women, you sure wouldn't know it; Arsine's videos are all chicks in bikinis & giggling breasts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uqbqeWfGV8 &  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPGGr_4c1LU Dan has a song about a nymphomaniac girlfriend; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_o5D3fO-iY  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8:B580:4EF:1073:41B:DDC0:71CC (talk) 00:02, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

VfD Archived debate
For the archived deletion debate for this article se Talk:O-Zone/Delete. -- Graham &#9786; | Talk 00:37, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Inaccuracy?
''In 2005 the group split up. All of the members went their separate ways and started their own solo careers. It is debated whether O-Zone is the original creator of the song. An Italian man named Haiduci claims the song as his own, as both groups released the song about the same time.''

I don't think this is true, since when the woman from Haiduci (yes, Haiduci is NOT a man, or at least, not only) came here in Bulgaria, she clearly stated on a TV show that the song was written by Dan Balan. This should be corrected. --213.91.184.25 22:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC) (Megara)

Hello, just comment about Haidyci. On the disk MTV hits 2005 there was another Haidychi song - "I need a boyfriend". It is complete copy of the Russian-Ukrainian singer (known as VerkaSerduchka) song. So, it makes me think that MayaHi has been written by O-zone. brozz

Could someone please add which song is being referred to here. The text does not give any indication of it. Icemuon 18:34, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

The song was Dragostea Din Tei. There was some legal action, I believe - O-Zone won and Haiducii conceded that the song was written by Dan Balan. --Ryttu3k 14:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

What about the numa numa guy?
The band came into focus and awarness about it increased after a home-made video with their song playing in the background became popular online. Could more information about this be included in the article?
 * No. The home-made video of an extremely obese individual pretending to be the entire O-Zone band became popular in the U.S. and Canada after thhe actual group became popular in all corners of the world (excluding U.S. and Canada of course). Most of the people who've seen this Numa Numa thing in the U.S. and Canada (I bet you don't even know what 'numa' means) don't know who made the song anyway.Eugeniu B (talk) 02:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm going to agree with the first guy; I'd never heard of them until that video went viral, that & through the explosion of Vocaloids popularity. At the very least, it could be mentioned that Dragostea Din Tei became a worldwide meme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.123.254 (talk) 09:51, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Dragostea Din Tei
This song has a site of its own. So there was no need to describe the song here again.
 * True, some parts should be moved or deleted. But this section is actually more about Dan Bălan than the song.  It needs to be cleaned up and moved to the right places.  Will put that on my todo list.  Icemuon 10:41, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, but please note, that Dan Bălan has a site of his own, too. Both sites include text which ist paste&copy from Dan Bălans official website.

minor edit
I removed the phrase "which is the most fricken awesome song ever written and" from the first sentence of the section about the numa numa song. 134.84.102.244 04:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

We need reference!
"The group formally broke up when Radu and Arsenie ended their homosexual relationship." there must be reference for this! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gerrado (talk • contribs) 17:32, 9 April 2007 (UTC).


 * AFAIK, there isn't one and will not be one - none of the members of the band are homosexual or had any such relations with anybody. -- Shruti14 t c s 23:25, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

scentence structure
"The song is most popular for the very popular video clip by Gary Brolsma". This is a bad scentence. I have changed it into: The song is also famous for its videoclip by Gary Brolsma Kimelinor 11:59, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Metal?
I heard from I can't remember which forum that O-Zone or at least one of its members plays or used to play metal (I think it was thrash, but I could be wrong). Does anyone have a link that confirms that so it could be added in the article? Or maybe I am wrong, who knows! ZOUAVMAN LE ZOUAVE 02:23, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Dan Bălan did rock metal before O-zone and now he does just rock. — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 23:53, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Discography.
They had 5 CDs & not one of them is listed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.122.193 (talk) 10:14, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You can consider adding it yourself.

Moldovan
O-Zone is from Moldova, but sings in Romanian and happens to be launched in Romania. The origin is clearly Moldova. I've fixed the article and infobox Lio (talk) 06:14, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmmm... the wiki in other languages tell that it is Moldavian. Proof links? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.58.145.69 (talk) 03:20, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Romanian and the Moldovan dialect are so similar, that in a song with simple lyrics, the difference is not obvious. Either would do. Fribbler (talk) 22:56, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Pronounciation
I've heard one of the band members pronounce in "Ow Zahn" many times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.123.254 (talk) 09:47, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Current members
I strongly disagree with the way the members section is laid out (although I acknowledge that the guidelines allow former members of a defunct band to be listed as current members in "exceptional circumstances"). The note in the current members section states that the reason for listing the final lineup of the band is to list the final members as separate from members that left beforehand (which also happens to be the "classic lineup" which is the reason for most occurrences such as this), and it goes on to say that to list all the former members in one list is misleading. I'm challenging this assertion as there is nothing misleading about labelling all members of a defunct band as "former members", because there are no current members in a band which does not exist, and if anything it is misleading to have any members in the "current members" section when there are no current members. Furthermore, the infobox is not supposed to separate different lineups, but to present a summation of the facts. A summation of the facts in this case is that there are four former members of O-Zone and no current members. Any additional details can and will be found on the page.

I understand that this discussion page may not be viewed that often. Therefore a fortnight from now if there is still no discussion I shall make the change and change the note to direct people to this discussion topic, where challenges can still be made. I realise and accept that one individual does not stand as a consensus even in the light of the facts. Burbridge92 (talk) 19:38, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Solo careers after disbanding?
Sure you can just read the Moldovian, Romanian, Russian, etc. pages, which will auto translate if you're using Chrome, but it's worth a little cover. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8:B580:4EF:1073:41B:DDC0:71CC (talk) 23:10, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Petru Jelihovschi
This page says that Petru Jelihovschi died in 2012, but the person that added this seems to have based that information on this |this YouTube video. In the comments section of said video, a commenter says that, "Someone watched this video and thought the singer Petru Jelihovschi had died (but it's just a homonym) and noticed Wikipedia about it.﻿" They also say, "It is said on Wikipedia that Petru Jelihovschi from O-Zone had died in 2012, but it is not the same person. The singer is still alive.﻿" Both statements are from relatively recently, but a YouTube commenter is not really a reason to remove an unsourced death date. I did a Google search, but couldn't find anything about Petru Jelihovschi being dead, or anything recent about him in general. If anyone can find anything, or knows more, can they respond to this message?

The 2017 reformation
It says in this article that they reformed in May 2017, but I haven't been able to find anything after that day. I know there's a source for the reformation, but it seems they haven't done much at all since then. VibeScepter (talk) (contributions) 20:40, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
