SONG & ARTIST ANNOUNCEMENT – BULGARIA

Artist thoughts by Sofia Eurettefriend (Designed by Carolina Añazgo Leo):

“Hip, hip, Hooray! I’m Sofia and I love to brighten every friend’s day! I’m always here, and I bring a lot of happiness to my friends when they get rid of their own fear, that statement is sure to makes us cheer. About finding my result in Esc last year was a good effort of time, but Poli achieved it with “If love was a crime”, so much for me that I speak in rhyme!

Let’s learn about how Kristian is going to represent my country at this Eurovision, being born in the new millennium is a beautiful vision, No intermission, bringing another best result for Bulgaria is his mission. He might be shy, but he’s the youngest of this year’s Eurostars might be a good chance to qualify!”- By Sofia Eurettefriend

“Hey, everyfriend! I’m San Marino, or Marino for short! And as the youngest of all Eurofriends in Eurovision Land, everyday is a new esc-perience to me.

“Hello, my little sunshines! I’m Skopje Eurettefriend and I’m always shining and making positive feelings ignite, just like the sun on my heartflag. I’m a warm and cozy (Even though I’m wearing summertime clothes) friend who loves helping people to feel relaxed. A good holiday is what I always say to them.

And there’s a sunshine called Jana. She’s surrounded by music since she was younger. And I’m confident that she’ll bring my country to the Esc final… My land had a pretty hard time in the semifinals during the last 5 contests, but that’s going to change. I’m always sharing a (sun)light to my Eurostars, and with Jana representing my country in Eurovision and looking for the 1st Macedonian victory along with some effort, everything will be clear skies and sunny days for my country!”- By Skopje Eurettefriend

“Top O’ the Contest! I’m Dublin Eurofriend and as you can see by my green hair, my heartflag and my 4-leaf clover t-shirt, I’m the luckiest Eurofriend in Eurovision Land.
