The highly anticipated fourteenth season of the Bulgarian singing competition “Like Two Drops of Water” (“Като две капки вода”) is set to premiere on February 16th, promising another round of impressive celebrity transformations and musical performances.

Returning to host the show are the beloved duo Dimitar Rachkov and Gerassim Georgiev – Gero, ensuring a familiar and engaging atmosphere for viewers. The judging panel will once again feature Hilda Kazasyan, Dimitar Kovachev – Funky and Veselin Marinov, alongside the mystery new judge. Producers are hoping the addition will bring a fresh perspective to the competition, building on the show’s established success as a popular source of entertainment in Bulgaria.
This season’s theme, “The Sun,” is inspired by Louis XIV, reflecting the show’s fourteenth iteration. Producer Kiril Kirov – Kiko, shared that “Like Two Drops of Water” has become a significant source of positive entertainment for Bulgarian audiences, offering a welcome escape from the constant stream of negative news. “For thirteen years, ‘The Drops’ have proven themselves as the biggest antidepressant in television airtime,” Kiko stated, as reported by Nova. The show aims to provide three hours of lighthearted fun and distraction for its viewers.
Kiko similarly acknowledged the challenges of maintaining freshness after fourteen seasons. “The most difficult thing when making a 14th season of a format is to build on what came before,” he explained to Nova. “Last year, we filled the biggest stadium in Bulgaria, and so many faces have already passed through the show. That’s why it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find interesting people.” Despite these challenges, Kiko expressed confidence in the lineup for the upcoming season, noting that it includes both established stars and emerging talents. He believes some of the participants are “huge stars on the Bulgarian skyline and in show business,” while others have the potential to become household names.
The show’s format challenges celebrities to impersonate famous singers, requiring them to master vocal techniques, stage presence, and elaborate costumes. “Like Two Drops of Water” has consistently drawn large audiences in Bulgaria, becoming a cultural phenomenon known for its entertainment value and the impressive transformations of its contestants. The Entertainment Lions for Music awards celebrate creative musical collaborations and branded music content, recognizing the impact of music in entertainment as highlighted by Cannes Lions.
The competition extends beyond just singing ability, encompassing performance, costume design, and the overall ability to convincingly portray the chosen artist. The W3 Awards and Davey Awards also recognize excellence in web-based entertainment, including film, video, and music (W3 Awards) and (Davey Awards), demonstrating the broad scope of the entertainment industry.
As the premiere date approaches, anticipation is building for the reveal of “The Queen” and the unveiling of the celebrity contestants who will be taking on the challenge of transforming into musical icons.
