To my Bulgarian friends: How does it feel to be the saviors of Europe?

I think Greece gave 12 to Cyprus (I know you asked about Bulgaria I don't think so?) And Montenegro and Croatia gave 12 to Serbia. Croatia and Serbia were my personal faves overall and gutted but figures they'd finish lower. Adored Albania, they finished a little higher, but not enough. Still, the Balkans taking it home!

Our 10 points is the highest we can give to anyone other than Cyprus

You've given us 12 points before, if I'm not wrong

This was the jury. The public vote you can see it on the eurovision site

Not Bulgarian but glad you were the saviours of Europe. EV is coming to the Balkans and contracts Dara! It's not so much my kind of song, but I do appreciate it. Поздравления. 🇧🇬

yeah,

last time Bulgaria saved Europe is when they almost "destroyed" the Roman Empire. (before 1204).

Thank you Bulgaria. For a moment there I thought Eurovision is finished.

Not Bulgarian, but I just need to say:

BANGARANGA BANGARANGA BANGARANGA BALKAN BANGARANG!!!!

So deserved, the amount of work Dara and the delegation must have put in to pull off a showstopper like that from where it was when the song was picked is INSANE!!

Please be proud of her Bulgarians! I know a lot of you weren’t super happy when she won, but she seriously must have been training pretty much every single day for hours to manage that choreo and sing so perfectly too.

Congrats!!!!

Training, diets, handling haters in Bulgaria. It was a hard task for sure. She is the Bangarang

Firm_Bowler228@reddit

Why was she hated in Bulgaria? She is attractive and quite talented. Do people realise how hard is to sing live and do all that dancing??? The song didn’t have any deep meaning, but that’s the song countries are sending, “funny” not like the good old days

ExoticAd7546@reddit

Because she didn't win the telivote on the national selection and it was kind of scewed 70:30 to the jury and she is a developed artist from a label so obviously conspiracy theories arose. In addition, Bulgarians a lot of Bulgarians are quite nationalistic and conservative and obviously the song is not that ethnic so they just prefer to hate it.

[-]

DrVital1s@reddit

quite the same problem we have in Romania with our conservator nationalists and our culture to hate just because. Anyway, congrats for the win

Secret_Corner_7610@reddit

Cuz we are morons. She is quite liked just for Eurovision there was some problem for people as there always needs to be. Obviously the song is a banger I keep telling my kids they are bangaranga hahah

[-]

invader222@reddit

Check the performance she won with in Bulgaria, its not as half as good as this one. She was low in odds cuz of that. But she really stepped it up, this improved performance and staging won her the esc.

silentmarrow@reddit

greece or cyprus were better tbh

kamarjera@reddit

Congratulations Bulagari! I liked Greece , Cyprus and Romania’s entries ,but Bangaranga is this powerful raw vibe I got from the start ✨💃🏻 So I’ll keep ‘bangaranging’ through the summer ahead 🌞

I am in Japan right now, is it like the teen version of summer of 94 in Sofia, fellas?

[-]

dwartbg9@reddit

Lmfao, of course not. People are probably happy about us winning but majorirt don't give a fuck about Eurovision even now with this victory.

Comparing the World Cup to Eurovision sounds even kind of blasphemous, sorry to say that

[-]

RustCohle_23@reddit

I am kidding ofc, especially given that Dara did not even have high approval within Bulgaria. But yeah, fck Israel and Dara has nice boobs, that seems about right.

[-]

tamzhebuduiya@reddit

Bulgarians before the eurovision: This song? Really?

Bulgarians after Dara wins: Wait what?!

[-]

vikezz@reddit

Honestly yes😂 Didn't listen, tbh I wasn't even planning to watch it so I never listened to any of the songs but I was genuinely surprised we won and somehow are painted as the saviours of Europe for this.
