Bulgaria >>>>>>>>>> Eurovision

Invest your whole GDP in Planeta Payner and make Balkanvision like Turkvision. It will be much bigger than Eurovision itself.

Well, jokes aside, you will be greatly missed moyata bulgariya
Luckily I don't need Eurovision to follow your life-changing music scene

Not a surprise, still hate to see it. But my country is the toilet of Europe, so well deserved I would say, my feelings are pretty much angry rather than sad. Been born in this country is a curse you need to live with.

BNT Eurovision account twitter disappeared

I thought Poli might be able to afford it but I guess not

This is so sad, and it's such a shame they used that pile of sh*t entry in 2022 (and its much deserved flop) as a false flag excuse to leave the contest. Hopefully they'll have another team coming back.

Does 2nd place with one of the biggest televote scores ever mean NOTHING?! Would it have been different if they hosted 2018? Would they even have hosted if asked, tbh?

Contacted by ESCPORTUGAL, the official account of the Bulgarian delegation in the Eurovision Contest on Facebook stressed that BNT "has no official position or information that can currently be shared", refusing to confirm the absence from the international contest that will take place in Liverpool and which was promoted by the page itself a few days ago.

Wow, I'm surprised they've so cleanly cut it off as something they no longer care about. It seems a total 180 from the past few years where they've been clearly so desperate to win the whole thing entirely. What's changed at BNT? Something has for this to happen. It's a real loss for esc really, hopefully you comeback soon.

Yeah, the 180 turn is disturbing, it shows that all is take is for a team to be invested and like Eurovision to be exchanged with one that loath it. There is no real transparency here and all comes down to some director's personal taste. At least a thing like this wouldn't happen in Sweden, even if a new hypothetical director would dislike the show (frankly I think the current one does), they still can't just go with their own opinions on stuff. It's not a dictatorship after all.

If it was only about money, I am sure Payner would be happy to send some of their stars and pay for all of it but BNT's pride is more important...

Payner is not as stable as before. Many big names are leaving or becoming more independent.

So the EU funds stopped coming in? Bad financial days even for the Bulgarian mafia?

I can totally understand if someone doesn´t like the concept of Eurovision but one can´t take away the fact that it´s an amazing platform to showcase your culture, what your own country has to offer (musically speaking) and that songs can become hits via Eurovision + new artists can get promoted - and in some cases, they will become quite well-known (look at Maneskin, Duncan Laurence or even Rosa Linn - just to name recent examples).

 

[KoibitoESC]

Sad. Bulgaria have good of music. I will miss bulgaria.

Daily reminder that Bulgaria is the best country in the world and Planeta Payner should buy BNT and win Eurovision every single year back to back bye
