Bulgaria Picks Eurovision Finalist

Saturday will see the decisive round in the Bulgarian contest for Eurovision song contest.

The twelve finalists picked among twenty-four shortlisted songs will perform their songs to collect SMS support from viewers.

Stoyan Zahariev will open the contest with the performance of his "Karmic Love." The viewers will then hear Vesela Boneva ("Let Me Live Again"), Mariana Popova ("Let Me Cry"), Neda Karova and Da formation ("Wish"), Sonya Todorova ("Trust Yourself"), Ani Lozanova ("I will burn you"), Ivaylo Kolev ("Every Dream at Night"), the band Mastilo ("Next to You"), Vessela Boneva and Plamen Pytov ("That's Me"), the band "Melody Тraffic" ("Love That You Can't See"), Gepi with "A Matter Of Time" and rock band Big Mamma Scandal with their "All This Time".


The SMS voting will continue for 10 minutes and the song that gathered most of the support of the viewers will represent Bulgaria at Eurovision 2006 that will take place in Athens in May.

Last year the Bulgarian participation in the spectacle was marred by a vote-rigging scandal. The country's representative band, Kaffe, were accused by other Bulgarian contestants of generating sms votes through specially bought SIM cards. The scandal broke during the live gala concert in Sofia when the winners were announced.
