IT’S OFFICIAL: The Crystal Microphone is heading to Sofia for the first time in history! 🇧🇬✨

In this episode, we are breaking down the absolute masterpiece of a Grand Final in Vienna and bowing down to our 2026 queen, Dara, who completely shattered the scoreboard with "Bangaranga." From topping both the jury and the televote to that flawless, high-energy choreography, Bulgaria didn't just win - they made Eurovision history. But that's not all; the rest of the leaderboard gave us some of the biggest shocks, heartbreaks, and polarizing moments the contest has ever seen.

Grab your headphones as we dissect the full voting breakdown, unpack the biggest surprises of the night, and figure out what a Bulgarian Eurovision looks like for 2027. You do not want to miss this chaotic post-final debrief! 🎙️🎉

The second semi-final has just concluded at the Wiener Stadthalle, and we now have the second set of ten qualifiers with some, if not too many, surprises as the results were confirmed. Barbara and Maria, with special guest Dimitry from Eurovangelists, discuss our impressions of the night and the results.

We are now waiting for the complete running order for the Grand Final, which will be determined by the producers and the European Broadcasting Union. Remember to subscribe and follow our socials for more information as we get closer to the grand final on Saturday.

Back to you from Vienna on a new day of media rehearsals! We have just come out of the second semi final first preview and we are, once again, bringing you our impressions as we see the performances live. Remember: we have not seen these acts on screen yet, and we are only giving our opinion, not an absolute verdict!
