Lead singer naked in video
Bulgaria: Belgrade staging plans revealed
Dj Take me away was created especially for the contest and it has already entered the MTV World Chart Express, at #2. Very soon it will be distributed internationally by Dutch company ToCo International, who have also released for 2 Unlimited, Technotronic, DJ BoBo as well as Eurovision Song Contest winner Dave Benton (Estonia 2001).
After their victory in the Bulgarian final, DJ Balthazar and Deep zone launched a nation wide tour which was marked by an impressive kick off. The band flew to the starting point of their tour "Welcome to the Loop 2" in a balloon. The tour attracted more than 30.000 people in its 20 stops all over clubs in Bulgaria.
A new video clip for DJ Take me away has been shot which features lead singer Joanna wearing nothing but body paint. The band had spent considerable time trying to decide what Joanna should wear when the male members of the band came up with the idea that she should wear... nothing. So the only lady of the group performs the vocal part painted like an exotic flower by professional body paint artists. The clip was directed by Kiril Bozhinov.
As for the staging of the song in Belgrade, it promises to be spectacular. For the first time on Eurovision stage we will see a laser harp, similar to the one used by Jean Michel Jarr in his concerts only more advanced. The futuristic instrument, especially created for the contest, consists of 20 laser rays which, when touched, generate electronic sounds. Lucky members of the press will be given the opportunity to play with the hi-tech instrument during the Bulgarian Press Conferences in the Sava Centar, in Belgrade. Apart from the laser harp, we can expect to see a spectacular fire scratch show, a world's break dance champion and hi-tech DJ instruments, which will be seen for the first time. "We will be happy, if the viewers vote for the most original song, which is the embodiment of modern and free Europe." the band said.

Wow, genius! It sure takes a lot of creativity to come up with that... Let's make the girl wear nothing - like usual. It's getting old, it's getting old...
Super song this year for Bulgaria !
One of my favorite with Switzerland,Germany and Serbia.
Good Luck !!!
At Last something new & fresh differentiating from any other participation. Pure Electronic & Dance sound ready to make you visit the nearest club. I LOVE IT because IT REALLE TAKES ME AWAY.
GO GO GO BULGARIA
Wow... modern music!
You'd almost forget something like that exists if you follow the ESC 
Bulgaria really has found its groove, hasnt it? Well, good luck to you! I loved Voda/Water, and although this is not just as good, it comes close enough! I like!
A least its not old fashioned Abba-like (hehem sweden/iceland hehem) or that utterly awful Shake It!-style Greece seems to be in love with... (Greece04/05/07/08, Cyprus 05, Turkey 07 - you know what I mean...)
This is the year of the idiots. The ones from Ireland, Spain, Latvia, Estonia, Bosnia & Herzegovina got new friends from Bulgaria. The headline could have been : MEDIOCRE TWO PHRASE SONG USES THE "SINGER´S" BODY TO GET SOME ATTENTION FROM THE PUBLIC.
ughh

I know it doesn't have anything to do with Eurovision but it is Bulgarian Idol and one of the funniest audition I have ever seen - some woman singing bout Ken Lee?

Bulgaria really make an effort I loved them in 2007 and visited for 1st time the country and in 2008 they will be great again it seems This will do extremely well.
this will do well i think tp 5 could be a winner..
things are changing at eurovision
sweden or bulgaria
song is good , good luck but there is no need that she appear with bodypaint.
Well......SOUNDS very very promessing.........
i love this song and i hope it comes secong after Malta hehe!!
i've seen the video at least 5 times and yes she is naked, but she is wearing a skirt and she never shows her breasts as she covers them with her arm. plus they never get her from the front when she is top-less, either back or side, and at the end she gets dressed!
so i dont know what all the PORNOVISION thing is about cause you dont see anything!!
I haven't heard the song yet, in fact I have only heard 6 of the songs going to Belgrade this year...I like to be surprised on the night!!! But I was really looking forward to seeing this, now...I'm even more excited
Good luck Bulgaria, I'm sure you'll do great...and if you don't at least your entry isn't boring!
I LOVE THIS SONG AND ESPECIALY BULGARIA......GREECE WILL TOTTALY GIVE YOU 12 POINTS IF CYPRUS DONT DO IT TO THE SEMIFINAL.KISSES FROM GREECE BULGARIA

'the male members of the band came up with the idea that she should wear... nothing'
Ha! And she just giggled, batted her eyelids and said 'whatever you say, oh men'? I assume the guys will all be fully clothed in the video... Nice to see Bulgaria promoting sexual equality.
Good song though.
[u][b]Here is the video of the song:

[u]I hope they will do fantastic and will end in top 5

[u]LoL this is so cool!They are doing very good company!
Bulgaria love you all and i hope you loves us too!
btw. Joanna is sooooo sexy
a senseless song , boring and repetitive. They can hae twenty laser harps but it will not impress me. I want a good song, not a deranged gril struggling to sing only two lines, and keeps repeating them for 3 minutes!
