Bulgaria Finishes Fourth at Eurovision 2016

Bulgaria finished fourth at this year's edition of the Eurovision Song Contest which was held at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm on Saturday.

The Bulgarian representative Poli Genova with her song ''If Love Was a Crime" obtained 307 points, finishing behind the winner Ukraine, runner-up Australia and third-placed Russia.

This was only the second appearance of Bulgaria in a final since the country's debut performance in 2005.

Genova improved not only her performace from 2011, when she had failed to qualify for the final, but also the fifth place of Stoyan Yankoulov and Elitsa Todorova who had represented Bulgaria back in 2007.

Thus Bulgaria returned with style at this year's Eurovision after not participating in the last two editions.

Ukraine won the 61st edition of the contest with the song "1944" performed by Jamala. Ukraine recorded its second victory in Eurovision after it had previously won the 2004 edition.
