Bulgaria in the Eurovision Song Contest
◄2007 2008 2009►

Bulgaria participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "DJ, Take Me Away" written by Dian Savov. The song was performed by the group Deep Zone and Balthazar. The Bulgarian broadcaster Bulgarian National Television (BNT) organised the national final Bŭlgarskata pesen v „Evroviziya 2008” in order to select the Bulgarian entry for the 2008 contest in Belgrade, Serbia. 56 entries were selected to participate in the first phase of the national final, EuroBGvision, which consisted of three monthly selections. Fourteen entries qualified to compete in Bŭlgarskata pesen v „Evroviziya 2008” which consisted of two shows: a semi-final and a final held on 26 January 2008 and 23 February 2008, respectively. Eighteen entries competed in the semi-final and the top nine songs qualified to the final alongside three pre-qualified songs. In the final, public televoting exclusively selected "DJ, Take Me Away" performed by Deep Zone and Balthazar as the winning entry with 15.37% of the votes.

Bulgaria was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 22 May 2008. Performing during the show in position 12, "DJ, Take Me Away" was not announced among the 10 qualifying entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Bulgaria placed eleventh out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 56 points.

Background

[edit]

Prior to the 2008 contest, Bulgaria had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest three times since its first entry in 2005.[1] The nation achieved their best result in the contest in 2007 with the song "Water" performed by Elitsa Todorova and Stoyan Yankoulov, which qualified to the final and placed fifth. To this point, their 2007 entry is also the only Bulgarian entry to have qualified to the Eurovision final; the nation had failed to qualify to the final with their other two entries.

The Bulgarian national broadcaster, Bulgarian National Television (BNT), broadcasts the event within Bulgaria and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. BNT confirmed Bulgaria's participation in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest on 29 June 2007.[2] Since 2005, the broadcaster has organised a national final in order to select the Bulgarian entry for the competition, a selection procedure that continued for their 2008 entry.[3]

Before Eurovision

[edit]

EuroBGvision

[edit]

EuroBGvision was the first phase of the national final format developed by BNT which determined the artist and song that would represent Bulgaria at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008.[2] The competition consisted of three monthly selections on 26 October 2007, 23 November 2007 and 21 December 2007, held at the National Palace of Culture in Sofia. All shows were hosted by Dragomir Draganov, Aksiniya Chenkova, Dani Georgiev and Niki Iliev and broadcast on Channel 1 as well as online via the broadcaster's website bnt.bg.[4][5]

Competing entries

[edit]

On 29 June 2007, BNT opened a submission period for artists and songwriters to submit their entries until 26 September 2007. Songs were required to contain partial Bulgarian involvement.[3] By the end of the deadline, the broadcaster received 56 eligible entries out of 79 submitted, which were announced on 27 September 2007.[6] The 56 entries were allocated to one of the three monthly selections and the entries competing in each selection were presented over three weekly shows: 7, 14 and 21 October 2007 for the October selection, 4, 11 and 18 November 2007 for the November selection, and 2, 9 and 16 December 2007 for the December selection.[7]

At Eurovision

[edit]

The Eurovision Song Contest 2008 took place at the Belgrade Arena in Belgrade, Serbia. It consisted of two semi-finals held on 20 and 22 May, respectively, and the grand final on 24 May 2008.[33] It was announced in September 2007 that the competition's format would be expanded to two semi-finals in 2008.[34] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top nine songs from each semi-final as determined by televoting progress to the final, and a tenth was determined by back-up juries. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 28 January 2008, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals.[35] Bulgaria was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 22 May 2008.[36] The running order for the semi-finals was decided through another draw on 17 March 2008 and Bulgaria was set to perform in position 12, following the entry from Croatia and before the entry from Denmark.[37]

The two semi-finals and the final were broadcast in Bulgaria on Channel 1 with commentary by Elena Rosberg and Georgi Kushvaliev. The Bulgarian spokesperson, who announced the Bulgarian votes during the final, was Valentina Voykova.

Semi-final

[edit]
Deep Zone and Balthazar performing during the second semi-final

Deep Zone and Balthazar took part in technical rehearsals on 14 and 17 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 21 and 22 May.[38] The Bulgarian performance featured the members of Deep Zone and Balthazar performing with guitar-shaped turntables which its disks were set alight on stage equipment cases at the end of the song. Lead singer Joanna Dragneva wore a red gown and held ostrich feathers.[39] The other group members also performed vocals using vocoders. The stage colours were red and the LED screens displayed colourful elements. The performance also featured effects including green lasers and pyrotechnics.[40][41] A breakdancer in a shirt with the number 12 joined Deep Zone and Balthazar on stage: Peter Kostov.[42]

At the end of the show, Bulgaria was not announced among the top 10 entries in the second semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Bulgaria placed eleventh in the semi-final, receiving a total of 56 points.[43]
