Невена Цонева & Иво Димчев – Евровизия 2024
The road to the 70th annual Eurovision Song Contest is taking shape, with Bulgaria preparing to select its representative. The national selection process is already underway, featuring both established artists and rising stars, alongside international guests adding to the excitement.
International Flavor in Sofia
Aidan, described as Malta’s most popular musical star, will perform his ballad “Bella” in Sofia. Notably, the instrumental track for “Bella” was recorded with the Bulgarian symphonic orchestra. Also scheduled to perform are Alis, representing Albania with the song “Nan,” and Eldar, the winner of Eurovision in 2011 representing Azerbaijan, who will perform his hit “The One.”
Bulgarian Finalists Compete
Eight finalists are vying for the chance to represent Bulgaria: “Kerana and the Cosmonauts,” Michaela Marinova, “Molets,” Roxana, Dara, Innerglow, Mona, and Preya. These artists will perform live on BNT tomorrow at 21:00, showcasing songs from their existing repertoire.
Ivo Dimchev and Nevena Tsoneva are also participating in the national selection process tonight, presenting their songs. However, Dimchev recently stated that he was invited to compete but declined due to other commitments.
A Two-Stage Selection Process
The final phase of the Bulgarian national selection will occur in late February. The winning artist will then perform three songs live, specifically written for their Eurovision appearance in Vienna. The final song selection will be determined by a combined vote from a jury and the viewing public.
Ultimately, a combined vote from the jury and the audience will decide which song will represent Bulgaria at the contest.
Looking Ahead
The Eurovision Song Contest’s 70th edition will be held in Vienna. Should Bulgaria advance from the second semi-final on May 14th, they will compete in the grand final on May 16th. It is possible that the selected Bulgarian artist could undergo further rehearsals and promotional activities leading up to the event. Analysts expect a strong focus on maximizing public engagement during the final selection stages.
