The Anonymous boys of Andorra have had a chance to meet some of the competition from the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest semifinal, as Bulgarian hopefuls Elitsa and Stoyan touched down in Andorra as part of their ongoing promotional tour.

Elitsa and Stoyan are fresh from their trip to Malta, where they performed the Bulgarian entry Water and met with Maltese representative Olivia Lewis at the OGAE Malta / MaltaSong party Destination Helsinki. This followed trips to Austria, Germany, Slovakia and Slovenia, where the couple toured to raise support for Bulgaria's third Eurovision Song Contest entry.

Friendly competition
Amidst the hectic tour schedule, the Bulgarian duo found time to have dinner with the lads in Andorra, and according to reports from the Andorran camp, all five artists got along famously. The sense of competition will no doubt be more evident on May 10th, as both groups battle head to head with the other twenty-six entrants, with that added pressure: to be the very first from their respective countries to make the top ten and reach the final on Saturday. With Bulgaria and Andorra enjoying their highest ever fan ratings in pre-contest polls this year, the hopes and stakes are high for both countries.
