Without further delay, here are my comments on two more choices.
Ever since late 2011 which had been announced that the artist Kaliopi, 45 years, would represent Macedonia in Eurovision this year, but only at the end of last month is held the official presentation of the Music "Crno i Belo", since the choice was performed using internal selection.
In the absence of competition I'll just focus on music and artist. Kaliopi has been chosen in 1996 to represent Macedonia in Eurovision, but was up for pre-qualification round.
She a good vocal apparatus and succeeded in presenting a good interpretation of the song. Both she and the band that accompanied her has a very unique style and original, which may appeal to the public by the difference.
As for music, shows several changes of rhythm and melody that does not get too bad.
I think it is a good choice for this Balkan country, which will have almost all its neighbors in the same semifinal that it.
This year, Macedonia has with him to vote in the same semifinalwhere she participates in almost all countries that have given it more points since the introduction of the semi-finals: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Turkey and Serbia.
Maybe this is that Macedonia is again present in the final. The last time was in 2007, although in 2008 and 2009 have been in 10th place in their respective semifinals in which it acted and so presumably would go to the final. However, as in both cases Macedonia did not obtain a minimum of 70 points, a jury selected purposely for the occasion, intervened and choose who would go to the final: either the 10th or any other. In both cases the jury preferred to choose another country that was not among the top 10 (in 2008 was Sweden and Finland in 2009). At that time Macedonia considered seriously give up from Eurovision.
After all it seems more pleasing to the public and juries, it is necessary not only be lucky to be among the top 10 and have a minimum of 70 points (which is not always easy).
I think so far the music presented in the contest with more languages included was the music that Portugal led in 2007, "Dança Comigo" performed by Sabrina: this song contains a sentence in each if these languages - Portuguese, English, French and Spanish.
But that is nothing compared with the languages included in the music chosen by Bulgaria. Apart from Bulgarian which is the dominant language in music, it also features phrases, nothing less than another 10 languages. Yes, the languages are: Arabic, Azeri, English, French, Greek, Italian, Romanian, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish and Turkish. To sing and understand this song we almost need a GPS to avoid getting lost in the midst of so many languages, and there are very different languages with very different linguistic roots.
At one point, almost everything ends up looking the same, especially for those who do not speak (or at least not dominate) none of these languages.
The history of Bulgaria hasn't been marked by many successes: since its debut in 2005, only in 2007 that made it through to the final, and raise an honorable 5th place.
However, it has twice been close to passing to final: in 2008 was ranked in 11th place, and last year won a surprising 12th place when it was one of the songs that best bet to pass the final and get a good ranking.
The performer of this year is the 26 year old singer Sofi Marinovathat gives voice to the song "Love Unlimited": really love has no limits, not even of language.
However, after the qualification for final on 4th January, she finished tied with the same number of votes as the 2nd ranked, the song "Chance for better life" as performed by the group New 5 that inexplicably took 1st place by the jury. In televoting got 8 points. In the case of Sofi was the opposite (8 votes of the jury and thetelevoting 12). Prevailing rule of dominance of the public vote, the victory was handed to Sofi Marinova.
It really was by far the best choice possible. Both the 2nd ranked as the 3rd, the singer Dess with the song "Love Is Alive", did not have so many qualities as the winning song. Indeed, perhaps the music of Dess was an alternative of weight (hence the 2nd place intelevoting), but never New 5: music and rhythm were pleasant, but the voice quality was undoubtedly the lowest in the festival.
Returning to the winning song and not being a genre that I like very much, I must admit that the singer has a voice reasonably good and was competent in her performance.
It is difficult to say that will appeal more to the public or to juries, but I think perhaps more to the televoting.
Of the countries that tend to give more votes to Bulgaria, who will vote this year in the same semi-final where she will participate (also will be the 2nd semifinal) are Macedonia, Turkey, France and Slovenia.
Boa sorte para ambos os países!!!
