Bulgaria – The Bulgarian singer DesiSlava (Деси Слава) has announced on her website today that she has entered a song into the Bulgarian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2012. DesiSlava is one of the most popular and successful singers in the Bulgarian pop-folk (called Chalga) scene. Chalga usually features insufficiently dressed women with heavy make-up and fake hair (among other things) and corpulent, metrosexual men (such as Asis), all that paired with provocative lyrics.
In last year’s national final the chalga scene was not represented even tough it makes up a heavy share of the Bulgarian music market and is popular, especially among young people. If DesiSlava makes is selected by the judges, who will select the semi-finalists soon, she could be sure of the votes of a lot of chalga fans.
“I could not participate last time and promised people who want me to compete in Eurovision not to disappoint them. That’s why I entered the song – It’s modern and rhythmic,” she writes on her website. For the song she has cooperated with the team “Simfoniks” who also helped Poli Genova with her entry last year.
The team also wrote the song DesiSlava performed with Greek singer Costas Martakis “Agapi mou” :

Yeah I like her, she’s not only chalga singer, but much more than it, she records songs in many genres and she is good live singer, somebody will say she looks cheap, but I like her and I don’t care! In another site I saw also Sofi Marinova on the list, she already participated in Bulgarian NF with rapper Ustata and I loved their song, she is good a swell..but she is more into chalga! But I doubt anybody will have chalga entry for Bulgarian NF!
But I know many singers there so I suppose they are unknown! Shit! 
Other 31 I saw on the list are totally unknown, at least to me!
I liked Sofi Marinova & Ustata too. Their NF song is still in my playlist.
She will take part this year as well according to list from another site! She’s Bulgarian Gypsy, you can also check her song with Azis!
Do you like Sofi Marinova & Ustata, Russian version? I think they participated in NF in Russian language!
Yeah I checked now they participated in NF in Russian language, and there is also Bulgarian version.. That song is great! Performance is quite childish though…
I am not very good at Slavic languages and thus I don’t really know which language the song I have is in. LOL The only Slavic language I can always identify is Polish …
I will have to listen to the song again but atm I am watching Portugal vs. BiH and listen to the 1977 songs again. Next is ‘De mallemolen’, one of the few songs from the 70s I like.
Just tell me the name – if it is “Ya tvoya” it’s Russiana and that is the version they sang in the NF..if it’s “Moi Si Dqvole” than it’s Bulgarian version… I iwll never understand why they sandg in Russian.. I would understand only if that year ESC was in Russian, but it wasn’t, it was in Helsinki (2007)..
Then it is in Bulgarian. Thanks a lot!
