Sirusho: "If people want me back in Eurovision, I’ll go"
Sirusho, the Armenian representative in the 2008 Eurovision Song
Contest, defines the Eurovision Song Contest as a music show case. The
singer was interviewed by esctoday.com while visiting Malta where she
will be performing tonight in the country’s national final.
After the second dress rehearsal of the Maltese national final Sirusho
spoke to esctoday.com and looked back to her experience in Belgrade.
She said that following the contest she strengthened her musical
career.
Sirusho explained how Armenia received a number of maximum votes even
from the western countries. She states that this was a sign that her
music was highly appreciated across Europe. Asked about a possible
return to the contest since many past Eurovision representatives are
getting back into competition Sirusho did not commit herself but
stressed that if people want to see her back she might do it again.
She also referred to her collaboration with Eurostars Boaz Mauda and
Jelena Tomasevic as they joined forces to sing a song for peace. The
three singers competed in the same edition of the Eurovision Song
Contest.
As revealed by esctoday.com Sirusho will be the international guest of
tonight’s Malta Eurosong. In the second dress rehearsal she performed
three songs. Apart from her Eurovision entry Qele Qele, which is
expected to be warmly received by the live audience, she sang another
ethnic uptempo song called Erotas. This entry is performed in Greek
and the lyrics are written by Natalia Germanou who penned My Number
One in 2005 while Hayko (Armenia 2007) composed the music.
