And how the big favorites never win in Romania, this year Luminita, Tony and Adrian endeed on 2nd place with 6 points from the jury and 10 from televoting. My personal opinion is that TVR wanted Paula to go this year. The sound was very bad at Luminita:
I wouldn't say that. Let me tell you how we saw things that night.
When Luminita's performance was over that little girl tried to release the butterflies, but they were too dizzy and couldn't fly. We could smell the smoke and something similar to melted plastic. Me and my sisters were just in front of the stage, behind TVR's operators.
We started to yell "Please, don't kill the butterflies!"
Everyone stepped on them and they were struggling to fly and save themselves. I had the chance to talk to other people that were there at Circus Variety Globus that night. They were all shocked that those little innocent creatures were killed that way.
By the end of Anda Adam's song there was a butterfly that was flying above the stage, above us all and everyone kept looking after it. "Look, it's alive! It's alive!"
It might sound cheesy and childish but was a song about saving children's lives supposed to end butterflies' lives like that? Were they good for entertainment only?
