March 3, 201312 yr Author A little disappointing - but there are several interesting bits, so hopefully it'll get some form of revamp to improve the production. Can't say whether I like it or dislike it right now but I will be distraught when it fails in May, I'm sure.
March 3, 201312 yr Geez, my least favourite of the three. :( It sounds messier than the other two songs, I also don't think Elitsa sounded as well on that song as she did in the other two. Maybe it will grow on me, I really loved Water. Edited March 3, 201312 yr by Sabrewulf
March 4, 201312 yr The parts with the fancy instruments and the vocal parts are so good but production is indeed really weak. Water sounded huge and it finished Top 5! This will probably qualify but it won't set the final scoreboard alight. :(
March 4, 201312 yr Found this on Digital Spy forums: According to people who were at the Bulgarian NF, Elitsa was furious about Kismet being selected and refused to give any interviews afterwards. Apparently they just wanted to go with Shampioni but the Bulgarian broadcaster insisted they submit at least 5 songs so they could rake in the televoting £££. It would make sense why the ending of the Bulgarian national final was so strange in that there was no reprise and Elitsa & Stoyan were nowhere to be seen! :o
March 4, 201312 yr Isn't the first and won't be the last time somebody overrides the result of a national final!
March 4, 201312 yr To be honest I'm usually not in favour of overturning televotes....but on the other hand it's not a good idea if your singer isn't fully behind the song. They need to sort that out. I agree with Elitsa, the song was the weakest of the three.
March 5, 201312 yr I actually really like this, it's messy and annoying and blah blah but I think it's going to be just fabulous come the performance(s) in May.
March 7, 201312 yr This song is a little bit haunting to me, not really bad, a little trashy, the beat is nice, also a nice melody... and yeah: I like it! :dance:
March 7, 201312 yr I'm addicted! :yahoo: Okay, the beginning is really weird, but from 1:53 the song is killing me! It reminds me of Matrix Reloaded, as the peole of Zion danced around after Morpheus' speech, a big house or goa party! Great! Maybe it's not a classic song for the ESC and maybe it won't go through the semi-finale, but to me it's the surprise or the kick I was waiting for this year. KISMET :wub:
March 11, 201312 yr Bulgaria enters a new song to ESC 2013... Elitsa & Stoyan will sing 'Samo Shampioni'. HHgazVdgKZs What an awful decision from Bulgaria, Kismet is so much better than this!
March 11, 201312 yr NEWSFLASH: They've overturned the public and gone for 'Samo Shampioni'. So glad they've done this because 'Kismet' was very weak and they'll stand a better chance of qualifying with this one. EDIT: Beaten to it! Curses! Edited March 11, 201312 yr by LexC
March 11, 201312 yr ^ I would have to disagree, I think Bulgaria would've qualified with Kismet, now I'm unsure if Bulgaria could make it with 'Samo Shampioni' to the grand final.
March 11, 201312 yr The official explanation for the Bulgarian broadcaster is: "Eurovision.tv has just been informed by the Bulgarian broadcaster BNT that due to copyright issues the song Kismet has been disqualified and instead the runner-up in the national selection, Samo Shampioni, written by Elitsa Todorova and Kristian Talev, will be the Bulgarian entry at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö." As if there are copyright issues... :lol: Full explanation from BNT here: http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=bulg...song_for_malmoe Edited March 11, 201312 yr by Ryan.
March 11, 201312 yr Here is the performance of 'Samo Shampioni' from the national final as apparently there are a few differences in comparison to the original version in the preview video posted above. Kgk5F7QvnCg
March 11, 201312 yr Happy with this, Samo Shampioni was my favourite of the three.....and the national final performance seems even better than the preview one. With this and the Netherlands song, this years Eurovision finally looks like it's on the up. Azerbaijan and Moldova to pick amazing songs now to top it off please.
