Internet forums are teeming with frustration at the fact the Bulgarian entry in Eurovision 2011, Polly Genova's "Na Inat", did not make it to the finals.

Commenters from across Europe - from Scandinavia to Greece - have stated they very much liked the song and were dismayed at the fact it did not receive enough votes.

There has also been similar massive support for the Slovakian entry, which also did not make it to the finals, with some fans saying they believe Eurovision is a "political," and not a music contests.

Critics and fellow performers in Bulgaria on their part have commended Genova for her performance, saying that the magnificent way she represented her country is far more important than a formal win.
