We are sending a song that i actually like, what's up with that. :lol: But really if anyone is predicting we have a chance to win, they are deluding themselfs. Qualifying for the final will be a miracle, since we have done it only once in 9 attempts. I hope at least for that, because Poli was very disappointed in 2011. 

 

I think you would be surprised with your final position once you do qualify, and hopefully Europe (and Australia since they're in the same semi final as Bulgaria) will vote for her so that we can make it happen because tbh, it's about high time.

My main faves are Czech Republic & Latvia (though I'd prefered Aminata to sing this/her song. Again).

Almost half of ESC songs sound like they were created by the same Swedish producer.

Many songs are underproduced or have the samey forgettable production, I can turn on TV commercials or the radio here and hear similar stuff.

Overall...

Though I have 7 faves which is far from disaster :d

When I was deciding for the votes in the ESC voting thread, I closed the tab in about 15 seconds after the video started.

Don't give up hope that easily :p After weeks of judging it took the number 1 spot in my TOP 43.

 

I strongly believe that it will be the best Bulgarian placement in their history and has a very high chance to be in the TOP 10.

Could not agree with you more about Russia, it is dated and overrated. I hope the juries share your view and that the televoters vote for something more modern. I really hope Russia do not win with this as it will push the progress of the contest back 10 years and reduce the musical credibility that has been built up with excellent winners over the past few years.

I'll give you reputation for your comment, because it is very well said. I cannot possibly agree with you more. Too bad I'm still being downvoted on Youtube :d but I found Dezbee there :p

Yeah, I can confirm, just casually watching other tops got me there. Though Russia is my number 5, I too think they will flop.

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Feb 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. Only February events were considered for this update. Sorry for the late update, I was quite busy in my personal life. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.   Aquatics (Artistic Swimming, Diving, Water Polo) World Cup events were held for artistic swimming and diving. is now projected to qualify in artistic swimming over .   Diving saw some changes with gains going to (4) (2) and losses going to (2) .   Water polo had the European Championships. No changes to Olympic projections.   Athletics (Marathon & Race Walking) The Tokyo Marathon and a gold level race walking tour event in Taicang were held. In the men’s marathon and are now in a qualifying position at the expense of and . On the women’s side; (2) have moved into a qualifying position while are out.   In the men’s 20km walk, gained two quotas at the expense of and . For the women’s 20km walk it is who are in position while are out.   Badminton The African and Oceania championships took place along with other minor tournaments. The only change relative to last month was in the men’s doubles where overtook for the final spot   Baseball/Softball The qualification document was released. While a slight change occurred, no changes to the teams qualified were made.   Basketball A set of men’s World Cup qualifiers were held this month. Angola’s loss to Mali is something to consider, but given how close it was I still consider Angola to still be the favourite to qualify. On the other hand, Argentina’s loss to Uruguay is enough to consider a change. After some shuffling around is now on the inside while is out.   Cycling (BMX Racing, Road & Track) Major events held this month include various continental championships.   In BMX Racing, gained a quota over in the men’s while is in a qualifying position over for the women.   In road cycling, on the men’s side; gained one quota over respectively. On the women’s side; gained one quota over   Track cycling see changes in the men’s individual sprint/keirin ( gain over ), men’s Madison ( gain over ), men’s omnium ( and gain over and ), women’s team sprint ( gain over ) and women’s individual sprint/keirin ( x2 over and ).   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Several World Cup events were held this month. In Dressage; gained an individual quota over respectively. While in Jumping the team quota saw gains for over inversely, Colombia and Portugal will gain an individual quota, replacing the vacated Mexico and Spain. Additionally there are gains for over   Fencing (Foil) The Turin Grand Prix was held this month among other events. No changes in any of the foil events.   Field Hockey The Pro League continues. No changes in terms of Olympic projection.   Golf The Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Genesis Invitational were the main events held on the men’s side. However, no changes in terms of Olympic projection.   Judo The Paris and Tashkent Grand Slam were major events held.   The following nations gained a men’s quota: The following nations lost a men’s quota: The following nations gained a women’s quota: The following nations lost a women’s quota:   Lacrosse The qualification document was released. No changes to the teams qualified were made.   Rugby Sevens The World Series event in Perth, Australia and the second tier event in Nairobi, Kenya were held this month. No changes on the men’s side while on the women’s side there was some shuffling, but ultimately no one fell off. Argentina did make a case by winning the SVNS 2 tournament while Brazil finished 6th which included a 28-17 win for Argentina. While a good start, I don’t think it’s quite enough to make the swab just yet.   Shooting The Asian Rifle/Pistol Championships were held this month. No updates to the qualification projection.   Sport Climbing The Oceania Speed World Championships were held this month. No updates to the projection.   Squash The Windy City Open among other events were held this month. On the men’s side is now in a qualification position over . No changes on the women’s side.   Surfing The qualification document was released. There is now less emphasis on the World Surf League and the priority for the continental qualifiers have changed. This has caused some changes to the projections. For the men; are now in qualification positions causing to drop off. On the women’s side; are in and are out.   Table Tennis The qualification document was released along with the Singapore Smash. Relative to my estimations a few changes occurred. Quota changes include losing men’s quotas. They are replaced by :MDA. On the women’s side, are replaced by .
