Лияна – Кой е той
Liyana is a somewhat underfed, silicone enhanced example of Bulgarian beauty. According to this video I must conclude she'd be better off sticking to porn. Well, this video is close enough...
MARIA – LOSHO PRAVISH
Ever seen "Rude Boy" by Rihanna? Well, so did Maria, and this is the broke, trashy version of it. The song was produced by the mass producer of Bulgarian chalga-pop Costi. Churning out several songs per week, the sound gets repetitive. As repetitive as the pumped up lips we see in all the Bulgarian music videos.
Andrea ft Costi – Losh Geroy
While I have to say it's much less trashy than the usual Andrea ft. Costi (formerly known as Sahara), it's still the same old Costi chalga. When you've heard one, you've heard them all. So one star just for the effort on trying to be classy.
Mihaela Fileva feat. VenZy – Opasno blizki
I rarely give positive ratings to Bulgarian videos, but this is pretty good!
Даяна – Ти го можеш
Bulgarian girls aren't afraid to show off their crotches from under their millimetered skirts (what would be a top in the rest of the world, counts as a dress here) they sit in a wide legged fashion in order for us to see it all. Apart from the fact that some scenes are a direct rip-off from Serebro's most famous video "Mama Lyuba", Dayana is bipolar. One moment she's wearing next to nothing, the next she's she's covered from top to toes. Something in between would be advisable.
Шахзода – Мой золотой (Dr. Costi mix)
You know you're screwed when a Uzbek singer and a Bulgarian producer shoot the video for their Russian-market song in Thailand. Shahzada became famous internationally after her single "Kechalar" and released her first russian market single with "1000 и одна ночь (1001 nights)". Even if Shahzoda looks great in this video, it's the song that rips her from all her personality. This song sounds like any other Costi production and Shahzoda's role as an Uzbek singer would've easily been substituted by a Romanian, Bulgarian or Moldovan singer. It personally reminds me too much of a country-fair kind of song.
Сиана ft. Устата – Заслужава
In this video Slava is mostly wearing horrendous clothing. In het head she might look like she came off the runways of paris, but in reality she looks like she was taken from the back streets of Sofia.
Elitsa Todorova & Stoyan Yankulov – Kismet
Yet another reason to ignore the ESC 2013: Bulgaria sends in a LSD infused ethnopop tune. The recipe: add two cats in heat and one of those basic beats already in the key-board presets to a bag-of-pipes on speed, and voilà, Bulgaria's 2013 entry is born.
Bulgarian Class: Галена ft. Преслава and АЛИСИЯ
Bulgarians love Arabia, or so it seems. First we have Galena and Preslava who team up and film a video in The Emirates. Thank god, or Allah, they toned down their usually more flashy (and fleshy) outfits, or they might have ended their careers on the execution stage. The other video shows us Alicia who really tries to be classy, what breaks her act are her excessive make-up and plastic surgery. Sorry Alicia, but a pair of glasses don't make you a lady.
Галена – Много ми отиваш
I haven't been very favorable towards bulgarian clips and this one is no exception. The production is not bad at all, but what's with the decapitation fetish? Galena is in desperate need of air, or she's just catching flies the entire time of the video. If this wasn't enough, the start of the video was almost enough for me to skip it entirely, what's this hillbilly doing here? All the while I was wondering, where's her voice?
Bulgaria: Always a good laugh
Jivko's beard is fake (wow, that badass dares to use a blender!!) , and Valia's voice is non existing (that vulcano she's dancing on looks so real, it might swallow her). I think many bulgarians will be ashamed this came from their country...
Галена – Пак ли
Galena from Bulgaria has to go back to the place her musical inspiration originally came from: Turkey, Istanbul to be precise. While there's a lot of animosity between the two people (with Bulgarians even claiming THEY invented the yoghurt) it's nice to see this hint of credit to their neighbors. Ofcourse Galena couldn't be Bulgarian without covering only the bare essentials...
Meanwhile in the fake-lips contest:
While you're all busy voting for the trashiest video of 2012, Ukraine and Bulgaria are having a contest of their own. Who can fill their lips up to the critical point of bursting? Ukraine's Marija Litti had a fair attempt, she even concealed her lips with a nude colored lipstick, how classy of her! She say "I'm called cray" and she's busy carrying around a cross throughout the video, how melodramatic!
Adriana missed her styling brief and went for a bright pink with a heavy coating of lipgloss. It's safe to say these lips cover the better part of her face, and she won the competition...
MIXKULA Awards 2012: Trashiest video of the year. The nominees are:
It's that time of the year one starts to reflect on the past twelve months. Now here at MIXKULA, we've collected the top and trash from around the world, and we've just reflected on the worst videos of this year, selected from all the music promo's on the planet. Only one can be the worst ofcourse, and it's important you have your say in this, so please vote, results will be posted later on!
OKSI – ЛЮБИТЬ ЗА ДВОИХ : Is it a music video or is it pornography?
Винтаж и Bobina – На-На-На :Farmer chic or just manure?
Траяна – Частен случай : Did she really have to take off her panties to sell this song?
Maj Blom - Grilpartaj : Is this an homage to Lady Gaga's meat dress, or just an attempt to get the guys to eat more meat?
Sisi Girl – Que Sera: When nipples become every-day body parts to show, one becomes worried...
Shaggy Ft. Eve - "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" : This video screams crisis and ghetto, I wish I never seen this.
Yurena – Go : Go home Yurena!
Maja Morales - Zaplakaćeš ti zbog mene : One needs no clothes, when we've got hands to cover our privates...
ДАША АСТАФЬЕВА & NIKITA – Avocado : When the reference to "eat my pussy" become too literal...
SEREBRO – МАЛЬЧИК : What's more trashy than making 1 trashy video? Make a trashy rip-off of that trashy video!
Лияна feat. DJ Ники – Изневяра
This song/video began pretty acceptable. Ok there's lots of showing off plastic lip surgery, and barely covering dresses, but it's Bulgaria, every Bulgarian woman wears clothes like this right? But Lijana has some sort of a food fetish meets voodoo, so if you're wondering how that looks, don't hesitate to press play...
This summer’s MIXKULA playlist!
The best songs to relive this summer are here collected in a playlist!
Emanuela – Rom-Pom-Pom
The song is top, and the lady is 100% drag-a-licious. Who thinks 20 cm stick on lashes are still feminine? What about bald? One thing's for sure this song will be copied by a score or Central Asian artists, so if we see Ziyoda or Manzura with the same song, we shouldn't be surprised.
DESS feat. Matias Endoor – Only One
While most Bulgarian videos tend to go overboard and present singers like playboy-bunnies on a cherry-pie, Dess' new video is somewhat more stylish, just a little. But the song does help and its quite allright.
Andrea feat. Gabriel Davi – Only You
Andrea, of "Sahara" fame, decided to go solo. I'm not sure if it's successful. But one thing's for sure, she's one crazy bitch. I mean, the guy in the video is hot, and she just bullies him! I'm not sure if this virgin-mary look on her works, since she's more known for exposing it all...
Deep Zone – I Love My DJ
http://youtu.be/4Ewm8BN2zXY
Траяна – Частен случай
Leave it bulgaria to cross another line of hoochie: take of your slip and cover up with some sheets. We did see this trick with breasts before, but now we got it with the "shame-zone". In short: a demonstration of Bulgarian class...
Can we add some Uzbek to that?
Remember i posted that Bulgarian song that was covered in Kazakh? Well add Uzbek to that. Of all 3 versions, this has to be to most successful in my eyes, but then again, I'm not so much into chalka.
