They have to sing live, even the backing vocals. The last one obviously had some effect on top of her voice but she was live.

All the mics seem very low, or is it just my TV...

Cute girl.

I thought the backing vocals were pre recorded too but maybe Im wrong about that.

Artists shall perform live on stage, accompanied by a recorded backing-track which contains no vocals of any kind or any vocal imitations aiming at replacing or assiting the live/original voice of the Contestant(s). The Host Broadcaster shall verify respect for this rule

From the rules. Backing singers are usually on stage too but they don't seem to be featured this year.

Tuned in just in time for Romania's take on a pop/to selling combo.

I'm in the Middle East so I'm streaming it on YouTube. No commentary at all and I don't miss it tbh

Graham should be on BBC Radio 2 on Saturday , but lip synch would be a mess so you'd have to chop and change between audio between songs
