The non-qualifier of Na Inat was a crime. I am so glad Poli got her vindication. Give her a slightly better song and a more elaborate staging and she could win the ESC. As a performer she has what it takes.

It's an interesting thought. She is a supreme performer and sold the song better than anyone could. If she came back with an even better song, she could win. But it would be a risk to her considerable reputation.

Wow Bulgaria! I didn't think you would get so much support from televoters, I'm truly happy that you reached 4th place after so many years of failure. :)

Well [MENTION=4544]A-lister[/MENTION] she didn't win obviously, but I told you her starting position was actually an "asset" in the first half. She overshadowed Amir with her energetic performance and the surrounding ballads emphasized the overall impact she could have on people. :p

I surprised myself tonight with a vote for Poli, even though this isn't a typical me song at all. I really enjoyed it. Loved her energy, warmth and it was easily the most lovable pop song in the final. 4th is awesome. A shame the competitors in front of you were so strong. Had Ukraine not been up there then I would have been cheering this one on for the win. This is a lovely welcome back result for one of my favourite ESC countriesxheart

The energy really was amazing during this performance. What a great comeback and I hope Bulgaria will continue to be strong in the next few years.
The Portuguese commentator kept saying that RTP are preparing a great return for Portugal next year, hopefully they learn a thing or two from you guys!

I'm absolutely thrilled for Bulgaria. Poli is an incredible entertainer. There she is all alone on that big Eurovision stage and she completely OWNS it. It was very striking with acts like Frans, Amir and Jamie-Lee performing right behind her. They all came up very small in comparison. Needless to say, I voted for Bulgaria several times. :mrgreen:

Poli is also rocking the Itunes charts at the moment:

Well deserved, wonderful comeback. :) My #2 of the year.

Respect, no diaspora, no politics, no bff, no special treatment, just a great song.

One of the best surprises of the night for me - Poli completely owned the stage and gave a captivating performance with fun and energy at its heart. So happy that the public also rewarded her efforts xup

Europe gave lyubovta to Poli and Bulgaria, and that was the best result of last night. xballon
Would be perfect winner as someone said, without politics, thunders and guest-roles.

I was rooted for her and she did it. Wish I could forget LED lights on her dress. :D Performance and her voice was awesome! Congrats, Bulgaria!

Congrats Poli and congrats Bulgaria for the best placement in their history. I love the fact that whenever they pass the semis they reach the top 5 positions lol
