| Elitsa and Stoyan to represent Bulgaria |
This was not the song that originally won the Bulgarian national final. At that time, two songs tied for first place with Kismet securing the win due to the weighting of the televoting over the jury result. However, it was later announced by the Bulgarian broadcaster that Samo Shampioni would instead represent the nation due to copyright issues with the song Kismet.
Sung in Bulgarian, the song is a frenetic mix of drums and percussion layered over a backing of ethnic instrumentation. Written by Elitsa together with Kristian Talev, the vocals have a very hypnotic Eastern feel to them, although halfway through the song the lyrics dry up completely.
While both Elitsa and Stoyan are very adept with a pair of drumsticks, this will have a tough time qualifying for the final. 6/10.

What is it with drums this year? I think this would be a good interval act, to be honest!
ReplyDeleteFor me it won't qualify from its SF, although it is in SF2, where I think we will see a surprise qualifier or two, so who knows? It has Malta before and Iceland after so it will stand out and the drums and 'bagpipes' will stick in the head until the end of the singing...
