She seemed somewhat nervous, the choreography and dressing could be much better. As a modern dance song it's a shame that they didn't make a better performance. Also why did the dancers appear only when it was a few seconds left of the song? The two guys were so much taller than the small girls that they looked like giants in comparison. The odds I checked went from 51 to 81 after the semifinal.

That said I think it could still be in top 10. It's one of the best songs and Poli's nice personality helps.

My thoughts exactly. Poli and the song are awesome, the staging could be a bit better. I hope she will be less nervous on Saturday and go in full power from first second on.

Camera work was disaster. Hopefully they will do something on this part. All other was perfect

By far the best song this year, and had it been competing for the EBU sweatheart Australia, jury sweetheart Netherlands or the general sweetheart Sweden or the diaspora monster Russia then this would have won... atleast happy it made it to the final, I'm crossing all my fingers for Poli, the odds are speaking against a victory but one can still dream... and yeah she did a great job, good show... vocally slightly off though so she gotta practise on that part but still.... and yeah like some mentioned the camera work some-times was so-so so that gotta be fixed too...

This has all the ingredients to be a proper winner... it's catchy as hell, it's modern, good performance, quality singer, has hit-potential and while Swedes might be involved it's still partly a local product unlike many others and yeah they manage to do a bi-lingual work!

GOOO BULGARIA!!! xcheer

[MENTION=4544]A-lister[/MENTION] Don't worry, Poli will be considered an oasis in the sea of slow songs in the first half. Just like France, she's got two slow songs before and two slow songs after her., she'll definitely be remembered. She'll wake the viewers up xcheer

Amazing performance and a deserved final. She got my vote too :D This was one of my favorite songs from the start so the outcome is not surprising. I can see her in top 10 tomorrow.

Well, I hope you're right, and in fact being drawn in first half she does have a pretty good draw... I am still worried though...

Let's keep on thinking in a positive way for now :) Her starting position is not that bad imo, it would have been less cute had she been 3rd or 4th like The Netherlands or Azerbaijan, and there's no way she would have been given a later slot (sadly). I also hope viewers will do their homework and that they'll vote for it if they like the song because Bulgaria is Bulgaria. We don't know who will support them for sure.

Daj mi ljubovtaaaa... xfacepalm I was singing smth like I am lutaaaa, I am lutataaaaa XD

In Portuguese it looks like she is saying "Dai-me luta, dai-me luta...", which means "Give me fight, give me fight..." xD

Well, I still hear her singing YOU AND ME AGAINST THE WALL... So, if you understand GIVE ME FIGHT, GIVE ME FIGHT, it all makes sense :)

This a very good entry, it is just typical Euroclub type music, and I love that, but it's nothing we've not heard many times before - I think it has a tendency to be overrated. In my opinion though, it is still the best entry from Bulgaria since they've been competing.

Final Verdict
:bg:
8 points
Position I want: 14th
Position I think: 10th

Actually Bulgarian diaspora really started to step in the last couple of years. In fact, we're always in the televote top 10, both in ESC and JESC, since 2011. And this year, BNT even made a special site for Bulgarians abroad, explaining on how and where to vote :D

The song stands out in every way, especially being the only uptempo one in a sequence of 5 songs. I suppose we will get a very decent, even spectacular result especially when it comes to the televoting.

The very best of luck to Poli tonight. If there was true justice in ESC then she would be our winner. She has the best song in the final and is such a great performer. I haven't given up hope yet. She will be getting at least 10 votes from me.
