Inis Neziri was a special guest at the Selecţia Naţională 2019 final together with Netta (2018 ESC Israel – Winner) and Emmelie de Forest (2013 ESC Denmark – Winner).
All the guests performed a couple of songs each but it was Inis who shined with her performances of Piedestal (from Festivali i Këngës #56 Albania national selection) and also Man’s World (the soul classic).
This was a triumphant return to Romania for Inis after her big success in 2018 where she won the Cerbul de Aur – Golden Stag festival.
Emmelie performed Sanctuary and Only Teardrops and Netta performed her new single Bassa Sababa and Toy.
You can see Inis perform her two songs below as well the performances by Netta and Emmelie.
Herluis Rafael of Venezuela sent us the link to a protest during the second semi final in France last night. A female came onto the stage during Netta, last year’s Eufrovision winner on stage, with a banner protesting against the Eurovision song contest being held in Israel this year. Luckily it was fairly peaceful.
Symphony of SWAZILAND is in Lisbon as part to her prize for becoming the first ever winner of the newly created Afri music song contest. She attended the annual OGAE Party at the Euro fan cafe. Another guest at the party was Netta from ISRAEL, one of the hottest favourites for the 2018 Eurovision song contest. Symphony did not have a TOY for Netta but gave her a copy of her brand new CD and surprised Netta by singing part of TOY to her.
