This year’s Moldovan hopeful Lidia Isac appeared in the show in order to promote her Eurovision entry. The jury members who played an important role in last Friday’s semi-final, did also perform a couple of songs. The interval acts included 2013 Romanian entrant Cezar who gave a rendition of Conchita’s song Rise Like A Phoenix.
Ovidiu Anton will represent Romania in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest on 12th May. The country is yet to fail a final qualification and Ovidiu Anton will hope that this prospect does not happen this year.
