You're here I guess.
Gigi Welplade
You say you're 'Welplade' but I barely remembered you were even playing. What have you been doing, like, at all?
Chibu Khaki
Like the colour you're named after, your songs are deeply uninteresting.
Pragma Tick
You were such a bitch to Nobelle you should consider changing your name to Dogma Tick.
Clamydia
You better get checked for chlamydia looking at how much you've been bottoming.
Penny D. Lux
You claim to be D. Lux, but your songs give me D. Based.
Cher Noble
I'd say you were safe from my firing line but you're used to that by now.

Pragma Tick
You may call yourself Pragma Tick but the only box you are ticking in this competition is mediocrity.
Clamydia
Did you name yourself Clamydia because your entries are infectiously bad or because of your unpleasant longevity?
Cher Noble
Unlike the nuclear accident your radiation is flatlining.

Chibu Khaki
My conjoined twin, our parents called, they said I am the prettier, wiser, more successful all in all the better one. It must be sad to always be in my shadow, that's why I know it hurts always being overshadowed throughout this competition
Pragma Tick
I know you think you're being pragmatically real and you always but all I get is being a judgemental bitch towards anyone. Hopefully this bottom placement has shot you all the way to the ground, you need to learn some humility
Cher Noble
Sis I know you share name with our long gone sister but I wonder now, when are you gonna follow her footsteps and just leave this competition like her
Bitta Pill
This is not a read but I am actually wondering....Who Are You?

Chibu Khaki
Now we all know that mirrors can't talk. Lucky for you they can't laugh neither! However when you do look in the mirror, say hi to the clown there for me ok! Thanks!
Azora Rivers
Calling you an idiot would be an insult to all the stupid people out there! I would try to explain why to you, but I don't have the time or the crayons to do that. Like the River in the name it's like stupidity is flowing through you.
Clamydia
When I saw you today, it reminded me of something, oh yes! It's trash pick up day tomorrow! Also if your ran like your mouth you would be in great shape!
Gigi Welplade
God don't you look amazing! Just a shame that you can't photoshop that ugly personality! You should eat some of your make-up so that you can become pretty on the inside as well.
Bitta Pill
Now we all know what pill you have been taking lately, but it's to help to get that dick a little bigger, and by that I mean addressing that big flipping ego of yours, but if your gonna act like a dick, at least get a condom and dress like one.
Pragma Tick
If i can compare you to anything, it would be a bag of pampers nappies, why? Well they are self absorbing, and full of shit, I'm sorry I didn't mean to push your buttons, I was trying to come across the mute button.
Cher Noble
That name of yours sounds really familiar to me of a certain place, a place very toxic, vile and a place that you could just take you out in a blow...The toilet. Just to let you know, it's jealous of all the shit coming out of that mouth of yours!

Pragma's reads (Alexa) 
Chibu Khaki
For a queen whose name means a blow job in Greek, you sure know how to blow the producers to even let you participate in the first place but don’t get ahead of yourself cause you will be blowing through the Athens winds very soon when you blow and massacre the next challenge.
Cher Noble
Did the Chernobyl radiation mutate your years? Seems like it.. because you seem incapable of landing a good song. We can see (..and hear) you don’t have a good ear for good songs.
Clamydia
You think you’re an expensive oyster clam, don’t you? Or is your drag name an allude to the sexually transmitted disease? Well, apparently, neither - cause you know, getting cHlamydia requires you to have the s-word first and rest assured, no one is coming near you with those cheap, melted, busted looks and ‘talents’ of yours!
Addison Rae
My favourite judge! It’s kinda disguisedly sarcastic to have you judge songs when your song material is as dry as chicken breast prepared by Penndy D’Lux, isn’t it? But it’s fine! The dry Penny D’Lux McDonalds meal with a dry chicken breast burger gets eaten up by the judges, just like your music gets eaten up on TikTok by uninspired, airheaded teens.

 ESPAÑA
Eurovision song
Pastora Soler
Quédate Conmigo
Eurovision 2012
There’s nothing much to say here as you’re all familiar with this. Words cannot describe how powerful this song is.
It is my favourite from 2012 so it makes sense to send it here. No one has ever come close to Pastora’s vocal performance after 2012, and even before that.
The lyrics of the song are a typical end-of-a-relationship thing so there isn’t much to decipher here BUT
I consider the focus of the song to be Pastora’s voice and the emotion she conveys through it.
Y ahora que te veo marchar
Sé que no te voy a olvidar
And now that I see you go
I know that I will not forget you
National Selection song
Rigoberta Bandini
Ay Mamá
Benidorm 2022
Arguably my favourite from Benidorm 2022 which had the potential to be my favourite of 2022, had it won the national selection.
I consider this as a risk since to some people from the ESC fandom Ay Mamá can be polarizing. But I believe that Ay Mamá is the quintessential ESC song –
it’s a powerful song with lyrics that bring a message, combined with a campy performance centered around wombs and breasts,
delivering an homage to all mothers in the world. Rigoberta, herself, became a mother in 2020.
Paremos la ciudad
Sacando un pecho fuera al puro estilo Delacroix
Let's stop the city
by showing one bare breast in the Delacroix style
Northvision song Zahara MERICHANE Northvision #37
Not gonna lie, I’m a sucker for Zahara and Puta, the parent album. I don’t follow Northvision as much as I used to but then I remembered
that Zahara finally made it to NVSC (after losing a NS an edition before that if I remember correctly?). Merichane is the name of a prostitute from Zahara’s birthtown.
Merichane was also a nickname given to her by school bullies, when she was only 12 years old (as explained in the end of the music video).
By naming the single as her nickname, Zahara is facing the ghosts and bad memories of the past, reclaiming what once was used against her. As for the lyrical content,
I cannot say much. But I reckon it could be about a high school romance. Who knows?
Yo estaba ahí metiéndome los dedos hasta el fondo
Queriendo vomitar las penas, la vida, el odio.
I was there, putting my fingers to the bottom
Wanting to puke the sadness, the life, the hate

Who's ready for a bit of balkan spice 
 Bulgaria
I went with Bulgaria in this challenge because I feel that Bulgaria has such a vast music culture from balkan realness to powerhouse vocal modern performances. I love the country and its culture and Music. Not only that, they have had Eurovision/NorthVision Bangers in the past and not only that, but in past National Final songs that have been impactful as well!
Eurovision Song
Sofi Marinova - Love Unlimited (2012)
Sofi Marinova, aka the true robbed queen from 2012, with her balkan bop "Love Unlimited" Was Iconic on all levels, this was just so much fun, infectious and made you get up and dance. Sofi is a power hourse performer, why? She performed on her own, no dancers, no back up singers and she absolutely slayed the stage and girls, I was LIVING!
Love Unlimited is about Love being for everyone, no matter who you are, gender, race, sexuality. You find the love you desire in life.
"Love has no limits, language and color
It’s equal for everybody on this world
For me, for you, for them"
When Sofi was in Baku, in an interview with Eurovision.tv, she also said that her son Lorenzo (who at the time was 10) was also there watching her perform.
"My biggest inspiration in life is my ten-year-old son Lorenzo, who is here with me, and I would very much like him to be a musician too."
This song could be a direct message of inspiration to him to say Love is Unlimited and the Love Sofi has to her son is Definitely Unlimited!
Lyrics;
The song has no limits, language and color
It doesn’t recognize who’s poor and who’s rich
Everybody sings in this world, sings about love
Love has no limits, language and color
It’s equal for everybody on this world
For me, for you, for them
I love you so much, I love you so much
I love you, I love you, my darling
I love you, I love only you
I say that I love you
I love you so much, I love you so much
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love only you
There are no limits for us
Pain has no limits, language and color
It doesn’t recognize who’s poor and who’s rich
The same tears fall when life wounds us
Love has no limits, language and color
It`s equal for everybody on this world
For me, for you, for them
I love you so much, I love you so much
I love you, I love you, my darling
I love you, I love only you
I say that I love you
I love you so much, I love you so much
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love only you
There are no limits for us, I love you so much
I love you so much
National Selection for Eurovision
(Poli Genova - One lifetime is not enough (2nd Place - BG Song for Eurovision 2009)
The start of the Rise of the Queen Poli Genova starts here. She first took part to represent Bulgaria in the 2009 National Selection Process for Bulgaria but came so close to the win! I could of seen this doing very very at Eurovision as 2009 was the year of strong ballads that did well such as Yohanna from  Iceland and Jade Ewen from the  United Kingdom. The song though brings a late 2000's style ballad but with a stand-out Poli Genova perfomance at its finest! Showcasing a raw and emotional vocal of her song "One lifetime is not enough"
This song is a beautiful lyrical piece about Poli trying to find the love of her life. Its start very slow and suttle and builds to a big key-change ending! Poli knows how to keep you engaged no matter the song by her presence and voice.
"I am making a list of all that I love about you
The ways I can’t live without you
And its spilling beyond the borders of this song"
This felt like a lovenote to her dearly beloved, the song felt like the start of Poli's journey into further Adult life, if you think now, she has a loving partner and kid, and was successful at Eurovision. in the years that came after that song and it gave her the experience of what to expect and come back stronger than before! Although this song never made it to the Eurovision stage, it gave Poli and even bigger platform and fandom to reach it there in the future!
Lyrics;
I am making a list of all that I love about you
The ways I can’t live without you
And its spilling beyond the borders of this song
And I’m making a wish that this night could last forever
But life is a fleeting treasure
So I’m gonna need more time to say it all
To uncover – all of the secrets of your soul
For all of our dreams to come to light
There’s not enough hours, love
One lifetime’s not enough
Tell me is there a chance that we could come back as lovers
Take off from where we departed
Continue the story we started, come what may
Is there some special prayer? Oh god, won’t you grant us this wish
We’ve got some unfinished business
So little time – so much we’ve yet to say
To uncover – all of the secrets of your soul
For all of our dreams to come to light
To give you all of my love
One lifetime’s not enough
(Enough to describe all the feelings inside me)
(Enough to express the emotions that guide me)
North Vision Song
Ruth Koleva - Ocean - 20th Edition
Aw the memories of being in Team Bulgaria. I love this entry and the simple message behind it. Starting off with subtle disco-ey strings, this song builds and builds before exploding into a monster of a chorus. I love her song for the symplicity and great vocals and I wished it got a higher placement than 25th in the final back in the 20th edition.
She sings about the love she had for someone, but It kept getting harder and harder when time went on.
"Then I was drowned in the ocean
Loving you, loving you, I
Where I was drowned in the ocean with you, you, you
Kiss me for the last time
Leave me on the shore and say goodbye
Where I was drowned in the ocean with you, you, you"
She tells us about how shes had enough of the love shes trying to get and wanting to part ways in good terms with a kiss and a last goodbye. Its like a nostalgic moment she can go through in the future to remember this moment of love.
She said in an interview;
"For me, nostalgia is something where you should look back and say, this was good, but life is much more than that, only experience"
Its like she refers to this love as the experience she can take onto her next true love .
The theme of love spreads through all these songs. Which I feel is important to the world just now, love is what keeps us going when we are going through pain and suffering, no Matter what it is. We know love is always there.
From all the Bulgarian Gurls and from me! We love you all
Overall Bulgaria serves the bops, the emotion and the overall package! We live for the diversity that Bulgaria deliver everytime!
lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Love won't wait
The shades of a daydream
Memories are way too far
I never thought, never thought
It would be so hard loving
I never thought, never thought
It would be so damn hard
Forgetting you now is all that I want
Forgetting you now
[Chorus:]
Then I was drowned in the ocean
Loving you, loving you, I
Where I was drowned in the ocean with you, you, you
Kiss me for the last time
Leave me on the shore and say goodbye
Where I was drowned in the ocean with you, you, you
[Verse 2:]
Am I brave for you 'cause it said I do?
Promise is made and promise is kept
Fake illusion and with regret
I never thought, never thought
It would be so hard loving you
I never thought, never thought
It would be so damn hard
[Chorus:]
Then I was drowned in the ocean
Loving you, loving you, I
Where I was drowned in the ocean with you, you, you
Kiss me for the last time
Leave me on the shore and say goodbye
Where I was drowned in the ocean with you, you, you
[Chorus II:]
I was drowned in the ocean
Loving you, loving you I
I was drowned in the ocean with you, you, you
Kiss me for the last time
Leave me on the shore and say goodbye
I was drowned in the ocean with you, you, you
