Hello music fans from ELS! Today, I\u2019m here to tell you about the biggest music competition in Europe \u2014 Eurovision!
It takes place from May 12th to the 17th, and this year, it will be in Vienna, Austria. If you haven\u2019t really been following it in the last month, let me help you catch up.
First, the highlight is that Bulgaria will be competing this year! At the end of January, 15 Bulgarian musicians competed for the chance to represent Bulgaria at Eurovision. Since 2022, no Bulgarians have been sent to represent our country due to financial difficulties.
The winner was Dara. She\u2019s a well-known singer from the TV show \u201cX Factor Bulgaria\u201d, loved by the crowd for her energetic music and strong lyrics. But after being chosen, she received an influx of hate from the public.
She was accused of paying the jury so that they would give her higher scores. Fans who voted for different competitors became angry and even tried to prove that the vote had been altered.
The official media BNT denied publicly doing any of that but the viewers didn\u2019t believe it and continued spreading hate comments all over the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Dara couldn\u2019t stay silent. She shared how those mean comments have affected her and even said that she would give up on competing if that\u2019s what the people want. But despite all of the mean messages, she decided that she won\u2019t give up. In the end, it\u2019s not her that\u2019s the real problem. It\u2019s the media and their decision to not show the votes in real time as they did during the first round.
And if you\u2019re wondering what song is she going to sing, they just chose it – \u201cBangaranga.\u201d It\u2019s mix of rhythm and strong lyrics, eye-catching choreography and wild spirit, which makes it perfect for Eurovision. So get some popcorn and prepare for the show!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
