Bulgaria BULGARIA 2017 - Kristian Kostov - Beautiful Mess

[Alaska49]

yeah bulgaria just buried all non-italy competition with the video. kristian sells the fuck out of the song visually and it's clear they are willing to spend on staging to a point where overstaging would be a more likely concern than understaging. this is the definite winner of the yohanna memorial award of "oh if only this year wasn't already won".

God, I'm a lesbian, but I'm a little bit in love with this kid (I'm 17 too, it's not creepy!) BTW, this is seriously giving me winner vibes...as someone just said above, he REALLY sells the song. He was the perfect choice for it.

 

[Anthony Tesla]

ALRIGHT! At first I just didn't "get" this song, but after the video release, yeah, it's actually quite good. 8/12

 

[Geborgenheit]

Does he even understand what he is singing ?

 

[PeterLPZ]

Nice song - good voice. 10 points.

The video is a masterpiece (I'm still processing the references of the visuals).

The song is nice (even if my prejudice for 17 years old boys singing heartbreaking love songs can't really make me totally appreciate it) but if they manage to create a staging that has this vibe I think that he'll do very well, top 5 for sure if he is really good live.
Good job Bulgaria!

Amazing video, amazing song. I so cannot see any other song winning SF2 other than Bulgaria.

tbh i was quite worried about how this was gonna be on stage, but after such video i can say he will most likely win second semi. also his voice is???????? how can he have such voice at that age?????? the fact that he is just some months older than me and sings like that freaks me out, he is amazing

I like how they made the song more relatable to his age from the video by making the 'love' less towards a grown up woman. The love being referred to in the video is more about love for nature, freedom and mankind and compassion for the turmoils and toils(represented by the pulling of the carriage).

Totally - Yes.

I hope for 2nd place. After Italy. As at JESC 2014

I did not like this song at a beggining but it really grew on me! It has a lot of potential to do well. I cant wait to se the stage performance!

 

[Jacketh]

I didn't realise how incredible he is live!

I think Kristian has a really good chance of winning, he's definitely one of the favourites atm.

 

[scratchthat2009]

this will do ok, to this will do well, to this or Portugal will win, to THIS will just WIN.
