Poli Genova (Bulgaria 2011 and 2016) with JP at
OGAE Germany's 2024 Convention in Munich   Interview with Poli Genova (Bulgaria 2011 and 2016): This week's interview is with Poli Genova who represented Bulgaria at the Eurovision Song Contest not only once but twice. It was in 2011 with the song "Na Inat" which unfortunately did not qualify for the Grand Final in Duesseldorf, ending up at Number 12 in Semi Final 2. But then Poli returned to the Eurovision Song Contest with a BANG! "If love was a crime" achieved Bulgaria's best-ever result at the contest being Number 4 which was bettered a year later by Kristian Kostov as he came second. 
In 2015, Poli was the Host of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest which was held in Sofia, Bulgaria and as a musician she also released a number of songs and has been involved in a few projects. Radio International had the pleasure to meet Poli Genova at the OGAE Germany Annual Convention 2024 in January and did an interview you can hear on this week's edition of Radio International.
