LIVE
The show has started. After the opening act, which is not related to the Eurovision Song Contest this time, the presnters enter the stage and welcome the audience. The jury members are introduced and they present last year's runner-up, Ukraine's Shady lady. Like last week, the viewers will be able to comment on the songs by by SMS.
1. Iskra & Misha Illiev - Dokosni me
It is the second try for Misha in Bulgaria as he took part in last year's heats too. The song Dokosni me (Touch me) is a rock ballad. Misha has long hair and black old-fashioned clothes while Iskra is wearing a black dress.
2. Prima Vista - Let's spread love
The group Prima Vista includes four girls that sings their cabaret-styled song Let's spread love they wear shiny clothes in different colors with hats and ties. They remind a little bit of the girl-group XXL who represented FYR Macedonia in 2000.
3. Konkurent - Placha v noshtta
Number three is a hard rock song. The group Konkurent tried their luck last year too but did not do well. The band has six members - keyboard player, drummer, three guitarists and a soloist. The song itself is strong but the voice is weak.
4. Mario Marinov - La ragazza che ho lasciato
A ballad in Italian by Mario, who is accompanied by a female backing singer. The song has no high recognition value and it is hard to believe that it will go very far in this competition.
5. Tereza Koralova - Samo edno more
The last entry tonight is an ethno pop song. Tereza, who is backed by two dancers in white dresses, is wearing a conspicuous blue dress herself. The instrumental bridge part is rather unusual.
The jury is now commenting on the entries. Then the SMS voting will start and after the interval act, we will know the qualifiers.
The results:
1.Iskra & Misha Illiev - 41,26% (jury choice)
2.Tereza Koralova - 22,97%
3.Prima Vista - 17,14%
4.Mario - 14,40%
5.Konkurent - 4,23%

I'd like to hear all songs, but i don't know where I have find 
My engilsh is weak ;P Give me links to songs...
@ Glen Bartlett: In no case Mario was in Top Three. That was just another mistake in the combined result graphics. The televoting result was shown correctly on screen and is as followed.
Iskra & Misha Illiev - 41,26%
Tereza Koralova - 22,97%
Prima Vista - 17,14%
Mario Marinov - 14,40%
Konkurent - 4,23%
The jury decision did notc hange anything in the results. Their vote just confirmed the televoting winner. You can't exclude the jury choice because it got highest televoting too. Only if the jury chooses number 4 or 5 in televoting the actual number 3 becomes number 4.
I think I can clear all about this 'mario' thing up.
Excluding the jury choice, Mario was in the top 3, but he didnt go through because he was actually 4th.
Thats what I think anyway.
BNT ARE SO STUPID
Ah, okay. Very strange. Every week something seems to go wrong with voting results or declaring of the winner.
But now it's spooky. The second heat in which all my favourites got through.
The results are wrong, it explains here: http://eurovision.bnt.bg/be_star
It's not Mario that goes through but Prima Vista. Konkurent in 5th place.
@ John W.: I thought the same too. But I have read Mario on the left. Don't know who is wrong.
If BNT will give us the stream as they did last week we'll finally see it then. But I think Mario (Jury) and Song 1 and 5 through televoting.
But I don't know I don't speak Bulgarian (though I have heard the hosts saying Mario at the end) and can't Cyrillic very well.
I don't read Bulgarian - I thought it was the jury choice on the left and the televoter's top 3 on the right.
Well according to those percentages it was Konkurent and not Mario...??
How can Mario then be televoters joice if he got only 14% of televote ending place 4? He has to be the jury choice. There is no other chance for him to qualify. And he has qualified as you said.
There was only song 1 on the left - songs 1, 5 and 4 (in that order) on the right.
I thought Song 4 was Jury choice and 1 and 5 came through televoting... There was this display with Mario alone left and Mario and the two others right.
SOng 1 was jury and televote's top choice. Also going through are songs 4 & 5!
And again: interval act is the best.
yigit,
what does the new sibil tuzun's clip has to do with our topic right now??!!!
sibel tuzun new clip http://www.mtv.com.t(...)ail.aspx?ClipId=4453
I have no problems with the webcast at all..
bring us back Joanna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i do not understand a single world...well maybe "pop" "evruvizia" "gruppo" "tri minuti"....:-(
this week has 2 good songs and 3 bad ones - last week had 1 good song, 3 ok songs and a bad song
plus the webcast this week is not very good
hmmm I can't really care who'll pass.. Though I think the 1st song was the best tonight, so that one and either two other ones!
Okay, my ranking:
1. Song 1
2. Song 5
3. Song 2
4. Song 3
5. Song 4
A weaker heat than last week.
Song 5: Quite nice dance song. But (especially the singing) a bit bland and with a very strange instrumental bridge...
lol
that was.. bah
shame on bg
Wow! I didn't expect pop-dance-latin song 
Go Tereza!
