Sofia, Bulgaria -
Poli Genova is going to represent Bulgaria in this year's Eurovision Song Contest. She was chosen by both viewers and jury in a grand final of 19 entries. The final was televised live from Sofia tonight and webcast at Eurovision.tv. The winning song for Bulgaria is called Na Inat.

Wednesday night, the Bulgarian national final was decided. The show was webcast at Eurovision.tv and televised by the national broadcaster BNT live from Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture -- the greatest multifunctional complex in Sofia.

When all the 19 competing songs was performed in the final, Poli Genova came out on top in the audience's hearts. The voting was decided by the viewers and a jury combined, and Poli Genova won both the viewer and the jury voting. The song that gave her the Bulgarian ticket to the Eurovision Song Contest in Düsseldorf is called Na Inat.

Moved Beyoncé to tears

Poli Genova rose to fame as member of the group BonBon, which would later represent Bulgaria at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

For the 2009 Bulgarian national final, Poli received a wildcard with the song One Lifetime Is Not Enough. Eventually she finished second in the final after landslide-winner Krassimir Avramov, singing Illusion.

Before the 2009 Bulgarian final, Beyoncé by coincidence heard Poli's One Lifetime Is Not Enough. The American singer couldn't hold back her tears when listening to the song, according to Bulgarian news portal News.bg.

Romanian guests

The jury consisted of a specifically formed Academy, with the famous Bulgarian composer Stefan Dimitrov as the chairman. The Academy consisted of representatives from professions such as composers, poets, producers, performers, music educators, media, advertising agencies and other professional organisations. They posted their votes already during the Dress Rehearsal on Tuesday night.

The show from Sofia featured special guest performances by the bands Dirty Purches, Tri O Five -- and Hotel FM, the Romanian representatives in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest.

For the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest, one of the most successful Bulgarian artists, Miro, was chosen as the Bulgarian representative. He delivered an intense angel-themed dance show in up-tempo with the entry Angel Si Ti, but didn't manage to qualify from the Semi-Final.

Poli Genova will perform for Bulgaria in the second half of the second semi-final of the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest, on the 12th of May.
Polly Genova -- In Spite /out of spite

I know I'll find strenght inside me
How much I can achieve!

They won't break everything inside me
They won't see me crushed again
They can't get close to me

They won't find a way to me
They won't take my faith
They want to look above me again

No, no!

But I know I'll find strenght inside me
Even to reach the sky
In spite of everything! In spite of everything!
Oh, I know the power will be with me
How much I can achieve! (x2)

There's so much love within me
Still makes sense to stay
And I find the will every day

There are people like you and me
I will stay, fight in spite of everything!
Who does it depend on? Yes -- on you and me!

But I know you'll find strenght in me
Even to reach the sky
In spite of everything! In spite of everything!
Oh, I know the power will be with you
How much we can achieve! (x2)

Yes, he is there
and he gives us, and he gives us
strenght, courage to move forward ...

But I know I'll find strenght inside me
Even to reach the sky
We're here again in spite to everything!
Oh, I know the power will be with you
What can we reach! How much we can achieve!

I see, it makes sense,
to fight together and you should know
How much we can achieve!
Yes, we can achieve!

  • Само не разбрах защо трябваше да си смениш името от Генова на Дженова? Стига вече сме се навеждали, не може ли да научим другите да произнасят поне нашите имена правилно, ние винаги происнасяме техните както са. Ние казваме Джордж Клуни, а не Георги нали? Хайде стига разбрахме, че говориш английски с американски акцент тук-таме, pone imeto si nosi s gordost! Искам само да кажа, че аз живея в Америка от много години и говоря перфрктно 4 езика, но съм си запазила 100% името!
