Is it possible one song to present one country?Is i possible such song to be appreciated objectively by other countries with different culture and traditions? Should such song contests occur in general? Well, no matter what your opinion is, this ‘competition’ causes variable moods and contradictions not only in Europe, but in other continents too.

Eurovision first took place in 1956. What makes it interesting is not the variety of songs from different countries, but the difference in the understandings about what song should be performed. Some peoples strive to present a song in modern style, which only young generation would like. Others are trying to perform traditional songs in order to show their national folklor. Some do even see the success in the untypical song and show their personal preferences to some music styles. However, as a result everything become such a mess that often even the judges don’t know which song deserves to win…

Of course i’m proud that the bulgarian song reached the final five, most of all because we took part for third time( we are begginers in that kind of competing). Several other thing impressed me more, though. 

First of all, i liked very much the performance of the bulgarian song ‘Voda’ by Elitsa and Stoyan. I am sure that they took the possession of the audience in a way that noone other could. Maybe my mum was right, when she said that ‘Voda’ is too valuable for us and that’s why others could not understand it. Anyway, the bulgarian song definitely differed from all other songs on Eurovision07. Another thing I paid attention on was the fact, that most of the finalists were countries from Eastern Europe- Serbia, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and Bulgaria(two and three years ago winners were Greece and Ukraine) . Are the songs here, in this part of the continent, the best, or, are our singers the most talented??? Maybe Orfei has left his talent on these lands, while wandering here xaxax….. Last, but not least I heard and read comments not only from some foreigners, but also from my classmates and even some of my teachers. I really was amazed by these words from my classmate Ivo: ‘Da be, kvo da gi gledam tiq super smeshna pesen, puk texta i beshe mn tup, samo ni izlojiha…’, and by my neighbour’s words ‘Ne sum go gledala tva predavane…’. I still remember my german teacher’s words “O, ama to i bulgari li imashe, i k’vo napraviha?’…

In conclusion I would say, that we, the bulgarians will never be confident enough no matter wether we do develop or not…We must use all the successful results of our representatives abroad. I think Eurovision07  definitely is a successful and very essential result, with a hopefully good effect which we should be proud of and which shows that Bulgaria is one of the developing european countries!
