We caught up with Krassimir Avramov, the Bulgarian hope for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest in Athens, the second stop of his promo tour after FYR Macedonia and before Romania. Krassimir and his two lady backing singers, Petya Buyuklieva and Ani Lozanova spoke to us about their song, their collaboration and more.

Krassimir Avramov speaks to esctoday.com about his song, Illusion, he gives us some insight on how the stage costumes will look like and talks about his feelings with regards to the Eurovision Song Contest. Krassimir believes that the stage presentation is very important as well: " We need to make it look great because most of the people listen with their eyes" he tells us.

Krassimir chose three very special ladies, all stars in their own right, to join him on stage in Moscow. We asked him how the collaboration between the four of them is and also we wanted to know how they are going to blend those totally different voices into one. Krassi was happy to answer all this and more.
