Kristian's 2nd place is the best result for Bulgaria, beating last years 4th place for Poli Genova's If Love Was A Crime.

China
In 2019 a new version of Beautiful Mess was released as a digital single. It's titled Beautiful Mess (Inspired By China). (Listen here at Kris's Youtube).
Kristian got inspired after he performed in a talent show 'Singer' (歌手) in China. That performance is here. He lasted six weeks while Polina Gagarina is still in the race.
And here's Kristian singing another song in Chinese on the same series. Lovely.

2nd release DRI (Cosmos) |
* Century, Schmentury. "Of the 2000's" if you insist the century started in 2001.
Anyway, I think the singer born longest ago is Lale Andersen (Germany 1961) who was born in 1905 closely followed by Jacques Pills (Monaco 1959) who was born in 1906.
So not a 100 years between the first born and last born yet.
