[edit] Semifinals
This year saw a change in the semifinal format: After the judges picked their top 18 contestants (9 males, 9 females) the contestants were split in one girls/guys group and had to perform in the week of March 10 - March 15 with constantly reducing the number of singers in both groups to six: after the first performance show the two least votes getters got eliminated, leaving the top 7 of girls/guys perform again of which the top 5 vote getters from each group will advance to the finals. Later on the judges eventually decided to make a top 13 out of the supposed 12 with giving three contestants a wildcard for the finals.
Two out of the top 18, Denislav Novev and Plamena Petrova, already competed in former years top 50 but failed to qualify for the finals.
