Throughout this afternoon, Tuesday 16 February, Eurovision Bulgaria’s Twitter account has been teasing further elements of their internal selection for Stockholm. Back in November, immediately in the aftermath of Junior Eurovision, our editor Nick wrote a piece on perhaps the crucial element regarding the identity of the Bulgarian representative.
Today, they dropped four rather obvious hints which will confirm that Poli Genova will represent Bulgaria in Sweden this May.
But why?
Clue 1
So the promised hints (you like them) #1: you already know it is a girl. We can confirm this once again and say she will be solo.#Eurovision

Poli clearly ticks this box.
Clue 2
Hint #2: she has performed a new song in the recent past, but it is not her song for #Eurovision
— BNT Eurovision 🇧🇬 (@bg_eurovision) February 16, 2016
We have a great example of a recent performance by Poli Genova. “Where’s My Dress” was the popular, eccentric interval act at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, which of course she hosted.
Clue 3
Hint #3: That recent performance mentioned in #2 included other artist/s as well #Eurovision

Now. Here’s where it gets interesting. The immediate reaction from some fans was “WHERE’S MY DRESS” and this was squashed by the Twitter account immediately for obvious reasons:
@ChatSuperMignon there wasn't a featured artist in Where is my dress, so try again 🙂

Hmm… this immediately takes that song and option out the equation however… this doesn’t mean it’s not Poli.
Clue 4
Hint #4: The featured performer/s from hint #3 were/was a male #Eurovision
So we gave you enough of hints. Now should be very easy for you:)— BNT Eurovision 🇧🇬 (@bg_eurovision) February 16, 2016
Earlier when we said we have a great example of a recent performance… In fact, we have two. Remember that second song from the interval act? No?
There was also another performance with a few fellas also featuring on stage. Dexter, Dee and Lexus, to be precise, were the male artists who featured on “Give Me More”
This would be the relevant song to answer that response, for sure.
So it’s Poli Genova?
We will have to wait for official confirmation tomorrow but… to paraphrase Eurovision Bulgaria themselves, they gave us enough hints to make it very easy for us!
Do you agree with our answer or is there another artist you expect to see announced tomorrow? If so, let us know why with your reasoning!
