Kristian Kostov "Beautiful Mess"
Bulgaria really seems to be hungry for a win, and this song in a template to put on a big stage show. The Bulgarian broadcaster also has a track record--Poli Genova get to fourth place last year. The odds makers also think this is going to do well, it's third in the odds to win. It also doesn't hurt that the Bulgarian broadcaster really wants to win the contest.
I find the song perfectly forgettable in the way the Swedish entry is forgettable. This is meant to appeal to the widest audience possible and to do that, you lose anything that would make it truly connect with anybody. It has been constructed to be a Eurovision hit and I am not a fan of constructed pop. Kostov is a preternaturally talented singer, but this is ultimately forgettable.
