Bulgaria BULGARIA 2021 - VICTORIA - Growing Up Is Getting Old

[escYOUnited]

Playing tetris with my feelings
Trynna keep them all inside
Hollow shadows and my soul is spilling over, I'm out of time

Closing every door
Wanna be alone
Lonely is a way that I survive
Sick of wanting more
Sitting on the floor
Wondering where all my feelings go

Nervous system's aching
Growing up is getting old
Anxiety is draining
Getting up is growing old

Don't get it, there's an ocean of emotion that I'm carrying inside
I am cautious,
Cause I've never understood how so much can fit in little me

Star crossed soul
And I'm used to letting go
Sink deeper in the flow of it
My demons know exactly where my fears
Are hiding all my tears

I'm torn by nervous system's aching
Growing up is getting old
Anxiety is draining
Getting up is growing old

And if I ever take that second to leave my worries behind
Maybe I could tread the waters of time
Get out of my mind

Growing up is getting old
Getting up is growing old

If your world is breaking
And growing up is getting old
Know that you're worth saving
And getting up is all you've got​

Post-2016 Bulgaria as usual getting what's trending in the main charts and making a cold calculated overproduced song to compete in Eurovision. Color me shocked. Can't wait for her 80s revival song option.

For your discretion

I hope this song is rejected for Eurovision. It doesn't cut it like Tears Getting Sober did. Sounds like an overproduced filler. Potential televoting flop.

reminds me of Taken By A Stranger by Lena, which did quite well in 2011

My god yes, perfectly put. It's so clear and leaves me so unimpressed. It's a shame as their 'revival' with Poli left me so excited for what was to come as she and her song was so great, but literally everything since has been so overproduced, cold and with a certain degree of desperation to do well. It kinda makes me miss flop Bulgaria era where everything felt so much more authentic and less calculated.

I do miss flop Bulgaria as well!!!!!!!!!!!!! Water is still in my top 3 of all time and both DJ Take Me Away and Love Unlimited are remarkable works of art who stay with me ever since I first listened to them. Legends.

well I'm the only one who enjoys modern Bulgaria?! haha, but seriously all of their entries since 2016 have been in my top 10 (maybe Poli was like 11th, but still).. I love Borislav Milanov - all of his songs are so good, like Malta 2019, Macedonia 2017, all of his Bulgarian entries, Germany 2020, Malta 2020, Austria 2018... and so on like all masterpieces - top 10 worthy songs, who cares if they are not completely genuine , they are still quality songs.

don't worry, most of the eurofans enjoy and prefer modern bulgaria but excluding poli, they are not really good in my rankng as i hate hate hate hate 2017 and never really cared about 2018 and 2020. meanwhile almost all the pre-2016 bulgarian entries have been at least in my top half of their years. to each their own i guess

(also macedonia 2017 is absolute perfection!!!!!!!!! my winner of that year and its flop still hurts )

No comment on escunited's post on Victoria about to release an EP featuring some potential Eurovision entries soon?

I am really excited about this, tbh, because her output has been quite great recently. She's defintely an entrant we have to keep in mind for a potential victory 2021!

More news is expected about Bulgaria’s participation in Eurovision 2021 next week, with the Bulgarian delegation also teasing news about a new EP from Victoria coming soon. The news was incorporated in a tweet which jumped on the recent Bernie Sanders meme taking the internet by storm;

I am probably almost alone when I say I didn't like her entry from last year. Sounded too sweet and Disney-like to me. But I am ready if she has a better song this year.

I liked it, but it wasn't my top10...
I preferred Romania!

Absolutely! Romania was also in my top 10!

 

[Looren]

I disliked Bulgaria and Romania hahaha

But well Victoria has a nice voice so I hope that her song this year will be good

 

[EscGeek]

Tears Getting Sober > Alcohol You

But i think i'll prefer Roxen this year. She recently collaborated with the great Alexander Rybak.

You're not alone, the song was not bad but I also don't get the hype for it, it basically sounded as if Billie Eilish did a Disney soundtrack song... I don't mind Billie Eilish though but I think Victoria has too little of her own character, it's easier to get away with "standard Pop" then to copy a distinct sound from a specific artist.

Anyways will see what this year has in store.

Five track EP out in Feb to include Eurovision entry (although official entry confirmation will likely be later)

Victoria will also appear on a morning talk show tomorrow to give more detail about the selection.

Victoria shared the news that everyone around the world will be able to give his opinion about the songs so the best one can be chosen.

One the one hand it's a great opportunity for Eurovision fans and a lovely idea but on the other hand, I'm afraid that not all of them have a great taste in music and they do not represent the actual taste/results of the contest.

I mean, in my opinion "Ugly Cry" is already a perfect song (current, modern, eerie) but after reading the comments of Eurofans it seems that they are afraid of it not even about to qualify
