Next on stage is Krassimir Avramov the first male solo performer to represent Bulgaria in the Eurovision Song Contest. He is joined on stage by his backing vocalists Petya Buyuklieva, Ani Lozanova and Albena Veskova and the two dancers from Stilt World.  Together they present their entry which is a contempary ethno pop song called Illusion. 

Krassimir is blessed with a very rare male voice, the tenor-altino, which makes a powerful impression in the first technical rehearsal this morning. One would expect that is would be rather difficult to harmonise with such a high pitched voice, however the vocal arrangement with the three backing singers works well and adds an extra dimension to the song. The vocal pitching of the song is not always perfect, however it does add strong character to the powerful rhythm and drive of the song.  We also we some of the most effective stage presentation with burning flames being projected on the screens behind the artists and dynamic dancing by two performers on stilts.
