passionpop Bulgaria are sending their seventh entry to Eurovision this year and the closest they have had to success was 5th in 2007. Everything else they have sent to Eurovision has failed to qualify for he final. will this year be different? yeah but i think it will qualify to make the numbers.
Though I have nothing against the song Bulgaria are sending to Eurovision, I always question the sense in sending someone who is big in their home country, but little known elsewhere. Just send an unknown. they will be more likely to work for the Eurovision crown.
This song is deserving of its odds of 150-1 because there is nothing new about it. it is a cliche Eurovision pop-rock song. Though the singer may not be as lazy as the previous paragraph implies, the writers seem to have been. a computer program could have written this song. it isn't horrible, it just isn't great, but then thats Eurovision usually.
The singer has an interesting piece of history though. she was in a group called BonBon as a child. I am guessing the name BonBon is still going and they change the kids in the group because in 2007, when Poli was 20, BonBon represented Bulgaria in Junior Eurovision. Poli was of course too old to still be with them but she has already been touched by the Eurovision star by association... sure they finished 7 out of 17 acts, but everyone in Junior Eurovision is a star... or a precious brat, I cant remember which...
This years song only has the fact that the other songs in its semi are rubbish, hence it has a change to qualify for the final. in 2008 even rubbish songs couldn't help Bulgaria
