The artist is selected. Now, the time has come to choose a song for Miro to perform in Oslo. The Bulgarian battle of five songs is webcast at Eurovision.tv, starting 19:30 CET

 

Tonight, the time has come to decide the song for Bulgaria. Bulgarian television has already selected the artist to represent the country in Oslo. The Bulgarian colours will be defended by Miro (Miroslav Kostadinov), being chosen already on the 18th of October 2009.

 

In tonight's show, five songs specifically produced for the national final will compete for the honour to represent the country. The five competing songs have been chosen to represent different musical genres. The winner will be elected by the viewers, using televoting.

 

The following is the running order for the final:

 

1. Eagle. Composer: Yasen Kozev & Krum Georgiev.

2. Moyat Pogled V Teb. Composers: D2.

3. Twist and Tango. Composers: Thomas Törnholm.

4. Ostani. Composers: Nayden Andreev.

5. Angel Si Ti. Composers: Miroslav Kostadinov.

 

Watch all five Bulgarian songs on BNT's site

 

Three of the songs are performed in Bulgarian and two in English.

 

Audition for back-up

The Bulgarian songs, as well as the artist, have been promoted continuously during the season. After the first presentation of the songs, Miro announced a call for backing vocalists and dancers to join him in the Eurovision Song Contest quest. On the 16th and 17th of February, the Bulgarian national TV and Miro held the casting, with more than 200 backing vocalists and dancers joining in to enter Miro’s team.

 

The contestants performed two selected songs each – one in Bulgarian and one in English; one a cappella and the other with backing track. According to Bulgarian TV, Miro was happy with the audition and in the end said that 90% of the competitors were good.

 

There were also a competition for dancers, where the entrants had to improvise to the music of the five songs competing in the Bulgarian final and had to display the best of their dancing skills in various styles.

 

The procedure in Bulgaria is entirely different from the one used for 2009, where a run of quarter-finals and semi-finals eventually led up to Krassimir Avramov representing the country. With his Illusion, Krassimir reached 16th place in the first Semi-Final in Moscow, and did not qualify for the Final. In Oslo, Bulgaria will compete in the second Semi-Final, held on the 27th of May.

 

Tune in to ESCTV at 19:30 for the Bulgarian webcast!

I'm looking forward to this actually, there are some nice songs, and he is quite cute :kink: Eagle to win pls :wub:
Not heard two of these so far. Twist And Tango is beyond unlistenable :puke:
Not listening to them, will only listen to the winner, but tbh, it can't be much worse than "Illusion". And at least he's quite nice to look at

Miro is represanting Bulgaria with Angel Si Ti!!

Great choice :wub: My second fave after Eagle.

 

FINALLY this contest has some eye candy :kink:

Great song :wub:
Decent song...think it might grow on me substantially tbh. ^_^
My only problem is with it, the title reminds me of Tose Proeski (RIP :snif:)

Well done Bulgaria on sending a really nice song, and not the same rubbish as last year

 

Plus it's the song he composed himself :o

I liked it on first listen - not loved - much better than some of the dross so far though and an easy finalist I reckon.

Here's the studio version of the winning song. I must admit I quite like it, especially when I compare it to our entry last year which was a complete disaster IMO.

 

 

 

I didn't have the opportunity to vote this year; I was a bit surprised by the choice, but the song is not bad. At least Miro won't be a disappointment - he can really sing live.

 

:dance:

I'm merging this thread with the current Bulgarian thread we have...
Loving this now, it reminds me of Iceland 97 and Darren Tate's projects. Amazing :wub:

Yes I know what you mean about Darren Tate, quite a retro trancy sound. Even more in this awesome new English version:

Travesty that this didn't get into the final considering the rubbish that did.
