BULGARIA

The Bulgarian final took place o the 23rd February at the National Palace of Culture in Sofia. 19 acts and songs were in the final, which was won by Poli Genova singing the songs “Na Inat” In fact she won the final gaining a maximum 12 points from both the jury and public televote.

“Na Inat” is a pop-rock song which starts out quite quiet. She starts on the floor and then as it gets to the chorus she is on here feet. Behind her are two backing singers playing instruments as well as a pianist and guitarist. She moves about the stage well and interacts with her band. The styling of the song needs a little tweaking and I am not sure the singers o the chairs work. Her voice is not bad and the song certainly suits and shows off her range. The songs and its presentation reminds me quite a lot of Pink – and Poli certainly looks a lot like her.

I would be very, very interested to know if an English version of this song will be made, or even presented at Eurovision as I feel the song would be greatly improved. An English version of this I think would be a massive hit and would be a song easily played on the radio throughout Europe. The song is quite catchy and is definitely something a bit different for Eurovision, especially with a female singer. Someof the more rock-influenced countries may like this a lot
