From the Bulgarian version of Idol. Someone should have paid more attention in school.
While it’s funny to point and laugh (as always, with this type of show), I wonder how many of us would be able to give a cromulent performance of a song with Bulgarian lyrics?
Well I think the main point is how many of us would even think of trying to sing a Bulgarian song in Bulgarian on TV
ooolibadibadowyooooo!
She was a good sport - went back at a later date and sang it properly, then segued to her old version, with the audience singing along!
I had several people send this video to me when it first started circling the internet. I’ve seen it like twenty times and it still cracks me up. I watched Music Idol (the actual name of the show) pretty religiously during the first season and would talk about it with my students a lot, but found the second season - which this clip is from - a lot less amusing and didn’t watch more than a couple episodes. This bit is really egregiously bad, but there was a LOT of tragic English on this show.
I was always telling my kids that if they ever wanted to go on Music Idol and not look like idiots, they should pay close attention in class! If I were still teaching, now I’d be able to add “if you don’t want THE ENTIRE WORLD to see you make a fool of yourself on youtube, you should pay attention in class!”
BTW, a guy from my village managed to be bad enough that he got on the show, too, singing a song ABOUT the village! Check it out.. (My village is Pavel Banya, it’s “famous” for its mineral hot springs and this guy worked in one of the rehabilitation centers. No, I didn’t know him.)
And Colophon, I can sing quite cromlently in Bulgarian, TYVM.
Kyla, why are they laughing at him? What’s the backstory on the guy with blue hair? Who’s the goodlooking judge with the big pointy nose?
