After the hugely successful Eurovision Preview party in London,
Armenian representative Sirusho flew to Paris for a private party
organised by OGAE France. Sirusho was met by hundreds of fans and
many media representatives, sang, danced and gave interviews.
On 29th April, Sirusho was a guest at the Le Garden Club in Paris
which was preceded by a press conference where the young Armenian
singer spoke to the French press and media. When asked which acts
she considers to be her biggest rivals in the contest, Sirusho said:
" Eurovision is not a competion for me! It’s rather a musical festivity
where different genres and musical cultures come together. We are all
different. There are entries I like and some entries I dislike. But
that’s a matter of taste. In any case, this is a very enriching
musical experience for me."
What were her impressions from the UK Eurovision Preview party? Sirusho
was very impressed by the Romanian duo, Nico and Vlad Mirita. She
revealed that on the night she composed a song especially for
them, which she will present to them as soon as the arrangement is
finalised. Is competing against a puppet a problem for her? "Using
a puppet to sing doesn’t really matter for me. It’s a personal
choice. Each contestant has his/her way of expression. And I respect
it." Puppet and singer met in London, as guests of esctoday.com at
La Scala and Dustin told Sirusho he would be happy if she won and
that he would keep his fingers crossed for her.
Apart from a very successful musician and singer, Sirusho is also a
student at the Yerevan University’s Foreign Affaires and Diplomacy
school. Is there any chance she might drop singing to pursue a
diplomatic career? " I will never quit singing" she says "I have
already achieved the ultimate honour to be the song ambassador of
Armenia at Eurovision. It is an international gathering and somehow
each participant becomes an ambassadors but in a more romantic way
through singing and dancing! The best way to bring peace on earth."
Today, Sirusho continues her promotour in Berlin and then will go to
the her last stop which will be Prague.
