Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

A few days I presented Desislava's latest video Moeto drugo az  featuring her new flame Svetlozar Savov. The couple has been also busy doing another sultry video for Desislava's English singing alter ego Dess titled Only one . And it's not bad at all, and the video is beautifully shot offering a lot of eye candy to every genre....

Desislava should have gone to Baku 2012 instead of Sofi, I still think so. Her Love is alive just would have had a better chance, even if Sofi did have her own sort of charm, too. Desislava is back with Moeto drugo az and is spicing up the gossip rags with the hot summer fling with the guy in the video.... 

Bulgaria will stage its national final tonight in Sofia. As guest stars we have the 2012 entrats from Cyprus, Denmark, France and Malta (at least) as the ones from Ukraine and Switzerland have cancelled for various reasons. It is supposed to be a two horse race where sassy and kitchy Sofi will try to beat weirdly elegant favourite Dess but we will see. You can listen a recap here of the 12 finalists. You can watch the show on eurovision.tv from 19.30 CET. 01. Go Week – The way you see the world 02. Todor Gadzhalov – Still love you 03. Steliyana Hristova -  Putyat 04. Rene Ranev – Alone 05. Desislava (Dess) – Love is alivе 06. Svetozar Hristov – Keep ме down 07. Simona Sivanio – Eternal 08. Yvailo Kolev ft. Hipnotik – Searching for the words 09. Sofi Marinova – Love Unlimited 10. Vyara Pantaleeva – Vyara 11. New 5- Chance for better life 12. Tsvetelin Atasanov-Elvisa ft. DZ - Love goes around

I'm still stunned I got 5/5 out in Latvia but now I'm speechless as I guessed 11/12 in Bulgaria which I totally didn't expect. Good night for me it seems :-). Nothing much to tell home about though, rather static performances, I'm sure they will gear up for the final but Dess should have it easy in the final on January 28, 2012. Tsvetelin Atanasov-Elvisa ft. DZ - Love goes around New 5 - Change for a better life Rene Ranev - Alone Go Week - The way you see the world Simona Sivanio - Eternal Svetozar Hristov - Kick me down Vyara Pantaleeva - Vyara Ivailo Kolev ft. Hipnotik - Searching for the words Steliyana Hristova - Putyat Todor Gadzhalov - Still love you Dess - Love is alive Sofi Marinova - Prosto lyubov

The early rumours from Bulgaria suggest foxy ladies Desislava and Alisia are interested in represanting their country in Baku 2012 and have sent in their efforts for the national final. Third name is The Voice of Bulgaria finalist and Mirò mentored Todor Gadjalov bringing a touch of innocence to the final.... if selected.
