Three songs to the semi final

Bulgaria: the results of the first quarter final

Bulgaria held the first quarter final in their search for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest tonight. Three songs out of each heat broadcast so far competed for three tickets in the semi final.

The following entries made it to the semi final:

  • Prima Vista - Let's spread love
  • Iskra & Misha Iliev - Dokosni me
  • Deyan Dzhenkov - Imam tvoeto ime

Ruth, who was the clear winner of the esctoday.com poll, did not qualify and even finished last in the televote.

The complete results:

  1. Deyan Dzhenkov - Imam tvoeto ime - 24.14 %
  2. Prima Vista - Let's spread love - 19.66 %
  3. Iskra & Misha Iliev - Dokosni me - 13.46 %
  4. Perfect Stranger - I promise - 12.98 %
  5. I Velina - Ready for love - 10.43 %
  6. Tereza Kolarova - Samo endo more  - 9.10 %
  7. Venelina Milanova - Neka s pesen - 5.45 %
  8. Iliyan Tsvetanov - Tozi Ritam - 2.55 %
  9. Ruth - Sometimes - 2.23 %

After the three quarter finals, another nine songs will be chosen by a jury.

The semifinal of the Bulgarian preselection will be held in January. 18 songs will take part there - the 9 qualifers from the heats, and another 9 songs selected by a committee, from those who didn't qualify from the heats, or new songs.

Deyan Dzhenkov - Imam tvoeto ime makes Lorraine in the Rain sound like a masterpiece! Unbelievable!

The Bulgarian NF this year is a BIG joke! They obviously don't have ears in Bulgaria.

I hope for Lazar's "You're not alone" (6th Nov). Strange video though:

Bah, anyway one of the wildcards will win, possibly Krassimir Avramov.
This extremely long series of shows are useless....

hm, have only heard the three winners but they are not that convincing...
Iskra & Misha Iliev are the best one out of them, but without restructuring and reworking the whole song they would never ever stand a chance in Moscow...

I don't like Let's spread love at all. Dokosni me and Imam tvoeto ime sound better but still they are not songs I would vote for.
If I could choose from the 9 songs, I would choose I promise, Ready for love and Tozi Ritam.
On another note, Sometimes was easily the best song of the bunch but Ruth murdered it.


@people :)

"Imam tvoeto ime" means "i have your name"!

Dont call bulgarians stupid please!You all know the heats are useless!Last year there was one song which was try winner and this was DJ take me away which came from EuroBGVision heats (Be a Star 2007).We know that the winner will be one of the wild cards!Krassimir or someone else its metter of time :P

So be sure that in this heats you wont find the winner :P

Read the interview of Krassimir Avramov by Stella Floras

For sure the winner will be one of the wild cards!

Can any Bulgarian tell me what 'Imam Tvoeto Ime' means?!

i agree, heats are useless, it look like a casting but with televoters voting... and as Zohar Rashit says, they would lost interest.
and wait, in the semi final there will be 8 songs "wildcard" jury, making 50% chance that even the quarter final procedure is useless lololol, BNT smoked a lot xD

OMG - i have no idea what you're talking about, but you wanna tell me that tonight's show was only a quarter final ? What the hell was going on in the previous three weeks ? Something lower than a quarter final ?

Holy Casanova, this is a really complicated selection process. And i bet they won't even make it to the final because it's so complicated the televoters will loose intrest and vote for songs which they like after thirf or fourth hearing, and time will pass between the first song selections to the latest ones selected.

Iskra & Misha Iliev - Dokosni me - 13.46 % only 13% lol, shame on bulgarians

with the huge out of tune of ruth tonight (more than in heats.. ok i've already said it lol..i'm very sad for her, how can she do that lol) deserved last place imo (unlike heats lol)), the results are normal (but Tereza Kolarova - Samo endo more shoul have have qualify, i find the appearence of the musiciens at the end of the song hilarous lol, but very average song)
and i just realise that i mixed prima vista and perfect stranger (lol) , so yes, prima vista is bad too
and Deyan Dzhenkov doesn't deserve it i think
Iskra & Misha Iliev with new reorchestration , i think they'll easyly quality to final (and get own by Krassimir lololol)

My, what's wrong with the Bulgarians? How stupid could they be to let Perfect Stranger, I Velina, Tereza Kolarova and Venelina Milanova NOT qualify? (I know only 3 could qualify, but 2 of the 3 should be in it IMO) The only one I can live with is Dokosni Me, a really beautiful song, but I don't think it could score in Moscow. And Ruth last place? Her song wasn't that shocking but... common... 2.23 % of the votes?

Deyan Dzhenkov must be famous/popular in Bulgaria to get so far with this tuneless, off-key ballad of his.
