Bulgarian The Voice judge gains viral attention for singing in Greek

Mehmed Ognyanov Gogov, a 32-year-old singer known as Medi who joined the judging panel of Bulgaria's The Voice in September 2026, recently gained widespread attention by performing the Greek song "Poso mou leipei" by Sotis Volanis. The performance took place on the stage of the music reality show, where Medi sang alongside a contestant, demonstrating remarkable fluency in Greek.
