The semi final after EuroBGvision in the Bulgarian selection for the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest will be held tonight with 18 songs competing. An expert jury will select half of them to go forward to the national final on 23rd February.
The show
It is a complicated line-up: it includes nine songs from the EuroBGvision heats that were chosen by televoting, another five songs from these heats that were chosen by a jury and four additional wildcars entries that went directly to the semi final. Nine of these semi finalists will be chosen by a jury to go to the national final on 23rd February, where they will be joined by another three, "new", wildcard entries. You can find all the songs here.
