Born for you to control, I want you to choke me.” She went on to sing: “Love me, make my lungs explode,” and “My body is begging.” The singer strutted her stuff on stage in a black leather ruffled dress which she paired with fishnet tights and knee-high sexy leather boots. Strobe lights connected her body to the guitarists as a figure stood in the back wearing a white hooded top and obscuring their identity. At one point, Alexandra crawled across the floor on her knees as part of the very suggestive performance. Fans couldn’t get over the performance as they flocked to X to share their thoughts. One viewer penned: “I am equal parts aroused and scared watching Romania right now!” Another person commented: “I don’t want anyone to “choke me”. I more want someone to bring me a nice cup of tea.” Most read in TV Romania managed to make it through to the final The UK is being represented by Sam Battle, aka Look Mum No Computer Credit: AFP While a third added: “Romania is absolutely f*****g awful!!!!
