Nicola was favourite with both the jury and televoters. Aurelian Temisan withdrew his song "Goodbye, hello, goodbye" as he didn't want to split his televotes between two songs. The song "Dominus" by Costi Ionita was disqualified due to similarities between it and the song "Ty prosti" by the Russian Group Hi-Fi.
