| Song |
"Planet of the Children" (Template:Lang-bg) is a song by Bulgarian singer Krisia Todorova. It was chosen to represent Bulgaria at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014.[1]
The song is about a fairy willing to wake the child inside everyone because wars, fear and famine do not exist on the children's planet, but goodness only.
Background
Krisia became the Bulgarian representative as Coo-Coo Band member Evgeni Dimitrov had received a call from the national broadcaster of the country BNT.
Thanks to the invitation, we started working on this project and created a solo vocal piece, and decided to include the twins Hasan and Ibrahim. They will be playing two grand pianos, thus forming a very interesting trio.
— Evgeni Dimitrov for Darik Radio[1]
Composition
"Planet of the Children" is a ballad written in the key of A minor (harmonic) by Evgeni Dimitrov, Slavi Trifonov and Krisia. It has a duration of exactly three minutes. The vocal range of the singer expands from A3 to E5.
Music video
Firstly premiered on the Ninth of October on bTV (Slavi's Show), the music video is set in a spacious hall with two grand pianos (black and white) inside intended for Hasan and Ibrahim. With the purpose of improving the video, theatrical smoke was used.
Krisia appears in four different dress sets. This was seen from the humorous point of view by the authors of Wiwibloggs: "The songs competing at Junior Eurovision 2014 are being revealed faster than we can count dress changes in Krisia’s official video".[2]
Lyrics
(Romanized)
Iskam da sum nyakoy den
Feya ili supergeroy,
Vsitchki hora po sveta
Iskam da prevurna vuv detsa,
I, poviarvay mi
Che suvsem sami
Tozi svyat shte promenim.
Shte bude detska planeta
Bez glad I strakh, bez voyna,
Shte bude detska planeta
Nashata Zemya.
Shte bude detska planeta
Nadezhda, mir, svetlina,
Shte bude detska planeta
Nay-krasivata mechta.
Ne e samo sun tova
Ne e malka prokazka endna,
O poviarvay mi
Che suvsem sami
Tozi svyat shte promenim.
Shte bude detska planeta
Bez glad I strakh, bez voyna,
Shte bude detska planeta
Nashata Zemya.
Shte bude detska planeta
Nadezhda, mir, svetlina,
Shte bude detska planeta
Nay-krasivata mechta.
Detska planeta-a-a-a detska planeta, Nashata Zemya
U-u-uh, o-o-oh,
Shte bude detska planeta
Nay-krasivata mechta.
Critical reception
Most of the reviews contain positive criticism. Ghassan Al Kaziri of Oikotimes believes that "besides a well produced video, the tune is simply one of the best ever submitted to a Junior Eurovision Song Contest edition, not to mention that Krisia is giving a promising performance. If she sings like that during the live stage presentation, Bulgaria could be a dark horse for the trophy".[3] Junioreurosong describe the song as "powerful ballad that is actually quite catchy". They consider that if Krisia sings as good as usual, that would be appreciated, as does Kaziri.[4] Rui Craveiro's review is especially impressive: "It’s no ordinary ballad – actually, it’s more of a fairytale-like, cinematic-typed ballad... one that is devastatingly well conceived and masterfully arranged in every single detail (the empowering lyrics about a fairy that wants to become a superhero and create a planet where there’s no war, no famine are simply magical and Krisia‘s voice flows like a velvet). I love Hasan and Ibrahim‘s piano expertise, especially in their solo part – it’s like a beautiful water cascade coming to life. If there’s any justice in the world, they should do their first top 5 but that’ll really depend on the performance", he says.[5]
