Eurovision 2022 - Semi-Final 1 - 7. Bulgaria...has no Intention of qualifying

 

Qualifying Record: 5/13

Qualifying Record 50/50 era: 4/4

Running Order Record 50/50 era: 8/14

Current Country Streak: 4 Q

Current Running Order Streak: 1 Q



Take a closer look to the chart on the left because it will be a different story next year. 

Bulgaria went in once again last year and it has made it clear that there were no funds available for 2022.

Instead of withdrawing like they did in 2019, they just decided to send a very weak generic entry just to show that they are present.

The BNT Eurovision twitter account has produced more thrill this season than the actual song. A rumour that was posted there and implied that Bulgaria would change their song and artist, bringing back Kristian Kostov, brought their odds from 1000 down to 10 just in a few hours.

That was the highlight of the Bulgarian entry this year...

Will qualify because...

Fans and twitter followers will be convinced by BNT Eurovision twitter account that Bulgaria is the hot favorite, and they will not want to miss out...

Bulgarian delegation run a fake news campaign saying '' To vote Ukraine, call/sms No7''...


Will not qualify because...

Is one of the weakest entries of the last decade.


Realistic Expectations...

16th-17th
