Water

Sign in to edit


Water was the Bulgarian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki by duo Elitsa Todorova and Stoyan Yankoulov. It was the first of their two appearances in the contest

The song is an up-tempo number with techno influences, as well as a jaw harp and traditional percussion. Todorova sings folk-inspired lyrics dealing with a young girl meeting a young boy riding a horse.

The performance in the semi-final featured the duo wearing what looked like armor, while they were wearing more mainstream clothes in the final. The performances were also notable for the high-energy percussion performances of both musicians.

It qualified from the semifinal in 6th place. In the final, it was performed 21st following Romania and preceding Turkey. At the close of voting, it finished in 5th place with 157 points.
