Re: ???????? - Armenia 2010
"Eurovision-2010". Emmy and Mihran are confident in their abilities
Soon national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 will be held in Yerevan. According to the public, one of the most likely candidates to win is Emmy and Mihran duo
Panorama.am Exclusive interview with the singer Emmy, who recently returned from the United States and revealed some secrets related to the performance.
- Emmy, tell us about the process of preparing and recording the songs that you and Mihran have been preparing for the national selection in Armenia.
- I'll start with the fact that since 29 September we and Mihran were in the United States. The aim was one - to prepare a professional musical material for the application for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 ". Within 3 months, we attended a dance class, with those in the dance studios, where performers rehearsed with world fame, and put on a show for the MTV music awards and the Grammy. I went there with Mihran, because he also teaches in these dance studios. Naturally, I never ceased to go sports.
As for the songs, we recorded 4 songs. In addition, we received a lot of songs from different countries. Compositions were obtained from Belgium, Germany, Russia and even Turkey, by the way, from Turkey were sent so many songs that the size of our e-mail is not enough. Yet, we abandoned this idea and chose the authors whose names we will open after the coming Mihran. Let it remain until a surprise.
- And how do you get these songs?
-Since there are a large number of admirers and fans of Eurovision, wishing that their songs were performed at the competition, they followed all the national selections in all participating countries, and quickly learn about candidates. Many movies about us Mihran was posted on Youtube, and from there it all started. We began to find in Facebook and other channels, offering songs.
- Are You with Mihran to set to win?
- Yes. We are confident in our abilities and strength of our team. People who are close to us, for example, dancers, performed with world scale. Yes, and Mihran - Madonna's favorite dancer, and I'm not the first who speaks about this. Yes, and I spared no effort in order to record a song that will be worthy of our country. If an artist puts a song in their energy, positive and professional, then this song will be a success.
-What you say about the production numbers, since a show at the Eurovision Song Contest is valued no less than the vocals?
- For the production, the show, we turned to experts such as of show Circus du Soleil. We are in talks about the production numbers for Oslo, if we will win the national selection. As for the natsotbora, then, of course, everything is not so big. Mihran with the dancers in the U.S. have already started rehearsing on the choreography of all four songs, because we have not chosen which of them we will present in Yerevan. Incidentally, for those songs that will remain, we already have a draft. Mihran dancers from Britney Spears and Madonna will arrive in Yerevan in 10-15 days, I joined them, and together we will finish work on a number.
- You are kindly provided an opportunity to listen to all 4 songs that you recorded in the United States. Would like to share experience. This is really something new. Such a feeling that this mix of modern Scandinavian style hits and fashion trends in Western music.
- Thank you (smiling). By the way, the final mix on our chosen song will do those sound engineers, who worked with such world stars like Michael Jackson, the group Destiny's child, as a solo artist with Beyoncé and others.
- In this, as in the past year, the selection for the Eurovision Song Contest in Armenia will be open. What can you say about the opposition?
- Initially, there were many rumors about who is going to apply for participation. Some have spent large sums on training, some are still not decided on the filing of the application. But I can just say only that we are preparing. We are going to submit its application for a victory at the highest level. We plan to do for Armenia a great show that our country was adequately represented at the competition, and that the Armenian flag returned from Oslo with honor. I know the migrant, I know myself, we just have to perform adequately. We have teamed up to show a united team and a quality show to "blow up" the scene of our energy. I am confident in her live vocals, because I sing live on stage for many years. I am confident in Mihran.He has long proved that no matter what you have nationality, religion and social status, if you are a professional - you choose the best. We wish all participants of the national selection of the best. We wish that they were very good, and if the win one of them, we will also support them.
- Share the secret of what to expect the audience during your speech?
- In Armenia, all will be at a very high level. We both will dance and sing. I would be comfortable being on stage with this team. We ourselves are preparing statement and are responsible for the result, and of course put all the forces in ensuring that turned out perfect.
As for Oslo, there all the planned scale and beautifully. Will be interesting pieces in the room. Just about everything about it makes sense to talk only if we win the national selection. Then Mihran be here, and information will be bigger. By the way, Mihran refused to stage the show for Oslo himself since considered that, while directly inside the process of training, you lose the perception of objective and what do you like it, may not please the public. So we decided to seek assistance from professionals.
- What is the guarantee that such eminent international personalities scale agreed to work with you?
- Following the presentation of Inga and Anush I'm in the mood for what I want to represent Armenia at Eurovision-2010 ". We are who they are often on tour, and many offered their assistance. For example, a well-known producer in Russia Yevgeny Orlov, who produced such groups as Slivki, Smash, Otpetye Moshenniky projects Star Factory 4, New Wave. Many showed their willingness to support me in this endeavor, and perhaps this is what I set up so strongly. This may be the answer to your question. Those who agreed to be with us as a team, we felt that we are serious and we love their work. We have infected them with his optimism. Probably, this is the reason that they leave all their important business and come to Armenia.
The main thing that an artist would like to speak well, that he loved what he was doing, but did not participate in the competition just for the sake of selling a few thousand discs after Eurovision. Because your speech is in history and this competition, and your country. As you saw on stage, Alexander Rybak won all sincerity and charisma. We have also come to the preparatory process, investing in the statement soul. And then, at the Eurovision Song Contest winner is always something new. Our song - is a new, modern look at Armenia.
- You once were offered to submit to the contest "Eurovision" for other countries, was you not ?
- I do not know where you learned it, but it's true (laughs). There were offers from Germany and Switzerland. There I would have acted as a performer, and the selection would be just songs. Switzerland made the proposal two years ago, and Germany for three consecutive years suggested I submit this country.
- Why did you refuse?
- I'm just a patriot. Perhaps that is why I believe that Armenia should be someone who at least did something for their homeland. Mihran has proved all the world stage. And I have grown up participating in the concerts, which took place under the thunder of cannons during the war in the border towns, villages, in the difficult years for our country. And I think that we deserve to do at least once something good for their country.
- What is the guarantee of confidence in his victory?
- I do not want to sound arrogant, but we are really well prepared. We believe in themselves and in their desires. And if something is wanted, then it will come true. Let this be a call to our other artists.
- How did you decide to cooperate with Migranov?
- When Mihran arrived in Yerevan at the concert, we were able to meet. I have long wanted to cooperate with him, but did not manage to communicate. When I told him I was going to prepare for the Eurovision and invite him to join, he replied that he already knew, and we started to work. Probably, this year, the circumstances demanded the duet from Armenia. I think that the song that we present, bursts into your heart.
- What would you say to your fans?
- Most of all forces and inspiration to us with Mihran gave those people who believed in us, our fans and friends. I am constantly looking at the discussions in various forums and communities where our fans are trying to help us warm and heartfelt words of support. And this is the most important thing for us. Seeing that support people, we believe that this is a victory. We are grateful to all those around us who will vote for us during the national selection, and we want to say that we do it all for you. Our fans got such tapes and photo, which evenwe ourselves haven't got, each time I wonder, looking through the forums (laughs). Dear fans, I love you all very very much!
