Career

2014: X Factor Bulgaria

In 2014 Gery-Nikol Georgieva, Hristina Hristova and Mishel Straminski auditioned as solo candidates for the third series of the Bulgarian televised singing competition X Factor. They failed to progress to the "Girls" category at "judges' houses" but were put together to form a three-piece girl band in September 2014 during the "bootcamp" stage of the competition, thus qualifying for the "Groups" category where their mentor was Velizar Sokolov - Zaki. At first the girls were unsure whether they want to be a group or not, however at the end they agreed. They left the show in week 7 after they were at the bottom with the other male group by fan votes. They sang "Survivor" (Destiny's Child) and with this song they led Bulgaria to be proud of them, just like when they performed Rihanna's song Diamonds in the final showdown. After Sanya and Lyubo voted for Plamen and Ivo and Zaki and Maria for them, the audience' vote was revealed. They were with the lowest result and left the show on 8th place. ^[2]
