Bulgaria 2nd Heat report

After the show last week I was wondering what can this show bring us this week and it brought a hell of a lot including:
endless chitter chatter about the ever masticated Dima Bilan, the weekly
seducing act, weird entries, one SUPER SEXY man with the look of a guy,
a puzzling Video interval, host not being notified that he is on the air and a
scandal in the voting results...

For the full report of last week heat including photos, audio & video go here

The Opening
OK - The show has started after some "dude" sang in english with dancers in the backround dancing and a certain someone that gave a special attention to one of them. after a few notes, we met again the hosts that we were introduced to last week philosophizing about this and that until they relize they are here to host the national final and not be part of a preverted seduceing scene which even this time the host, Drago Draganov tried to offer his co-host, Neli Atanasova something but she forcefully refused in the begining but came around in the
end (she is easy to get somewhat i would say).

The jurries has been introduced and this time they are diffrent from last week - i thought that every week we are going to have the same juries but well at least this time they didn't look like an elderly sexual counselor, Belarusian industrialist, and a brainwashed terrorist.... this time they look
like my older brother elementary teacher, a bizarre singer from the Albanian national final and an Israel actor who is hooked on
Telenobles.

After a few words of introduction from the juries we are moving to be presented with Ani Lorak who won 2nd place in the 2008 Eurovision song contest , and this after last week we were presented with Dima Bilan who won (of course only on the sake of the mafia voting), but unlike last week the host didn't gave away obnoxious pillows of Dima Bilan, BUT there is not time to rejoice since the juries insisted to mention him again and again as if they are getting money of it - so we are not home free yet.

After they were done bubbling we moved for a quick review of the voting procedures just in case someone missed last week (shame on you!) and than finally we were basked in the songs of course not without some juicy details from the artists lives.

The Songs
Song #1 - Iskra & Misha Iliev / Dokosni me

A singer in black that looks like he just emerged from the 70's with a long dark hair, dark flat glasses, sloppy tie and the face of Armando de Gama who represented Portugal in Eurovision '83, with "Shari Arison" by his side they practiced compound syllables with Fa Fa Fa , Aa Aa Aa and with Fu Fu Fu we are moving to song number two...

Song #2 - Prima Vista / Let's spread love

Four girls wearing white hats, broaden pants and ties - not to mention sparkling blouses - singing a song that sounds like it was taken from a Broadway musical which i really don't consider fitted for the contest, but never the less the horny males in the audience bears the imprint of a horny dogs the way swing & tingled hysterically.

Song #3 - Konkurent / Placha v noshtta

A flash of bright light breaks the darkness and opens the third song (be careful anyone who is epileptic!) - a grown up male in all the wrong places in black, white and blond hair unlike the rest of the gang who are dressed all in black singing a rock and even hard rock in some places that feels like somebody is kicking you in the foot rather than singing.

Song #4 - Mario Marinov / La ragazza che ho lasciato


Mario Marinov is now on the stage to perform in Italian song number 4 - bald with sun glasses, a white slick tight shirt and a nice jeans with a very solid - shaped body that offers a lot of 'place holders' and when we are moving to the second phase we can also be blessed with his face without the sunglasses - the sad thing is that his song isn't as good as his looks.

Song #5 - Tereza Kolarova / Samo edno more

Last in performance order jumps to the stage Tereza in a green-bordo dress and two dancers behind her, which are actively dancing to her singing a song that really sounds Eurovision to me and which i think can really fit to the spirit of the contest - part of the weird instrumental bridge that really sound like the theme of "Sex & City" with a bugler and a guy playing the guitar who might have mistaken this contest for a country style contest.

The Judging
OK ! songs are up and now it's the turn of the juries to tell us what they think and while they didn't really sound impressed of the first two songs the old one really sound fond of the 3rd song (the hard rock one) while we are watching the band members fighting bitterly with a battle of mineral water which refuses to open. The muscular Marion Marinov (god, he is one chiseled, well-curved, well designed piece of a human being ! i want to see the Japanese trying to build something like him!) looks quite amused when the jury (the one who looks like an elementary school teacher) talks about him while the old one mention only three words - which one of them is "Eurovision" and the
third one compliments him which makes him pull out his winning smile.
The fifth entry dancers are eagerly holding the hand of tereza as if the decision which about to be made is about their going to Eurovision rather than going forward to the next round.

The Interval Act
Like last week we are having some weird people in a promo video clip for this weeks Interval act - Nelli Ranganlova.in the clip we see someone who has been to probably 250 plastic surgeries
with the way her face looks like,
a 200 years old lady a someone who thinks she is in Hollywoodand someone with exaggerated body movements which looks ok in the video clip but really looks weird in an interview..
finally this was over with and we managed to meet the interval act artist who frankly were better than the competing artists (much like last week) and after an interview in which the host were caught off guard again when he thought a clip being broadcasted so he allowed him self to overtalk and the clock siging in deep orange that the voting has being opened we saw her singing and later also going for an encore in which she forces the auidence and even the hosts to clap hands.

The Results:
After Nelly finally evaporated not before she bothered to tell us again who she really are and to thank us for not cutting our veins off we finally managed to witness the results and a scandal in which one screen show that Mario is one of the qualifers while the other screen is telling otherwise
while the hosts are announcing the results from the first screen.

Leaving us Confused and disoriented the hosts are saying their final goodbyes until next week, but later on BNT, the Bulgraian brodcaster website we managed to see that Prima vista were the one who qualified rather than Mario Marinov which is a real shame cause if we can't expect decent musical acts from the contest at least we could have basked in his godly shape yearning to break
free from his white slick tight shirt and his nice buns :-), alought he sadly enough he wasn't really good.
