Suffers head trauma

Bulgaria: Elitsa Todorova injured during rehearsal

Elitsa Todorova the 2007 Bulgarian representative in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest survived a horrendous accident today after hundreds of kilograms of iron crashed down on top of her during a concert rehearsal in Bulgaria.

The concert to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Bulgarian bookmakers Euro football was scheduled for this evening in the Black Sea resort  of Sunny Beach in Bulgaria. A sudden storm this afternoon caused a scaffold from the concert's stage to crash down on performers and the technical team. Two other individuals have been injured, however, Elitsa's condition is the most serious one because the singer had sustained head trauma.

It is still unclear if the concert would take place as scheduled. According to reports, the wind in the area is becoming stronger and there is a possibility of cancelling it.  The company that has built the stage on the sand has not yet offered an explanation of the cause of the incident

The world famous German DJ ATB was also scheduled to take part in the concert.

Elitsa Todorova and Stoyan Yancoul finish in 5th postion in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest with thrie entry Water.

"the song came from a sanitary towel advert"
Oh no! I've been watching almost every tampon advert on YouTube by now :)

Well that song is . . . . . different! :) I like it but it's very strange! ;)
And as for Sirusho . . . Qele-Qele isn't her best song!! "I still breathe" is my favourite from her album and "Strong" and "I can't control it" and "Miyan Qez" and "Arzhani" and "Sar e sa" . . . . you get the picture! On her new album there are sooo many good songs it kind of eclipses qele qele! :)
And on the subject of the Russian NF, I watched a recap of all the songs on youtube and I was soooooo over-whelmed by the sheer amount of songs, I mean there was almost as many songs as in MF but all condensed into one night! :)

Wow, that song title didn't work at all did it!? :P

Well, you can write it something like Qarligaçlar by Asylyar

Jonny K
Well then, I must show it to you!
"Qarlığaçlar" by Asılyar: http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=AfgneQouVkg
It came last but only because it's in Tartarian and the Russian organisers made sure to crush any sort of ethnicity :)

And also, have a look at "New Russian Kalinka" which is another song from the Russian NF - if you want any of the mp3s I have them :D

Hmm, how do you take into account how long you've had the songs and relate that to the chart position? And why do you have "I Can't Control It" and "Strong" by Sirusho and not "Qele, Qele"!!!! It was the best song!!!!!!

"And then there's the weird-looking song which came last in Russia's NF"
lol, I don't know that one! :) The only songs I have from the Russian NF are -
Believe (obviously!)
Colours of my love - A-Sortie http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=n_O5AVWIbME (yeah the live performance was crap but the song rocks!!)
Na rasstoyanii dyhanya - Polina Smolova http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=up8OD4YxBAw (I love this woman more and more every day lol!)

lol yeah anybody could have done better than nomads in the night :) although lol at the fact its now from a sanitary towel advert, what is it with those lithuanians and womens stuff plagiarisms??
And about your top 20, yeah my songs are in different positions depending on how long i've had them although there is a really massive exception. I've had "even heaven cries" by monrose since the 26th of August and its already my number 1! :)

I haven't seen the 2008 final all the way through so I couldn't compare them...as for Maia Hirasawa, well, all I can say is she is amazing. Her version of "The Worrying Kind" is almost (remember, almost...) as good as the original - it's better than the 2007 acoustic version of "Evighet" and I love the other song of her's I've heard, "Gothenburg"!

My Top 20 - well all I can say is "Leto Svet" is just waiting to drop out of my chart! And I love "It's Never Too Late" but I stop myself from listening to it to keep it special - it's at about number 34! And I'm sorry about Linda (although Sanna is only one place in front of her) the problem is I've only had her song since the beginning of April whereas I've had songs like "Chariots Of Fire" since the very beginning of the year - and then the ESC entries like "Shady Lady"[/i} I've played so many times because I restrained myself from listening to them until the contest had finished, so I basically had a fit of ESC. And then there's the weird-looking song which came last in Russia's NF - it's really good :P

You downloaded "Yes" by Mini Me!!! And I made a mistake, the song came from a sanitary towel advert! :P sorry - I think it would have been a better entry for Lithuania (although it may have been disqualified because of the plagiarism-thing) even if it is a bit unoriginal. The performance was great and let's face it, anything would have been better than "Nomads In The Night"!!!

And today I downloaded the tampon song euro sheep :) (that may sound weird to everybody else here but trust me, it makes sense)

I just saw your top 20! :) And it does confirm that you have good taste . . . except for . . . . .WTF IS LETO SVET DOING IN 16TH!!!!! :P And its funny you should have luisa Vark "god inside your soul" in there because I have recently become addicted to "its never too late" by her and in fact I am listening to it now lol! :) Although tut tut, Linda only in 14th!! Shes way up in 3rd in mine! :)

lol :) I watched the MF 2007 final the other day actually on SVT play, I think I prefer the 2008 final though :) In 2008 I preferred the songs and Maia Hirasawas cover of the worrying kind is amazing :)

Sweden it is then!!! :D I had little look at the concert last night because I couldn't sleep (too much sugar), I skipped forward to the bits where Sanna was singing, passed out from disbelief after she sung "All By Myself" (it was a stunning performance) then when I woke up I tried one last time to watch the whole of the Melodifetivalen Final in 2007 - it finally worked...good times :)

@ Euro Sheep:

Wow, a biblical sentence, now I am impressed.
And how was I judging you? I was just saying my opinion.
And now, I don't wish this to anyone I don't even know, not even Perrelli. So stop referring to me now, I am not being condescending, you were the one to make it personal!
That's all I will say, this is getting to dumb for me.
