Under the rules of Eurovision, before the contest the singers are
invited to sing in other countries participating in the international
song contest. Andre who will represent Armenia has already received
invitations from 7 countries: Russia, Belarus, Moldavia, Cyprus,
Greece, etc. On April 6 Andre will set off on a concert tour to
these countries. In Russia Andre will sing with Irina Allegrova,
Iosif Kobzon, and others. In Belarus Andre will be the guest of a
number of TV shows and radio programs. Armenia has invited Cyprus,
Greece, Israel and singers from other countries. Andre considers the
representatives of Greece, Romania and Andorra his chief opponents.
While other countries are voting for the song, representing Armenia,
Turks hack Andre's website out of envy, and the website did not work
for 7 hours. Then our neighbors sent letters to Andre, containing
abuse and threats to kill him.
Andre is open to criticism of his song in Armenia. "For me the opinion
of professionals is important, those who do not like the song, they
may not listen to it," Andre offers such a remedy.
Moreover, he thinks, criticism is free advertisement, and he believes
that 90 per cent of people in Armenia are beside him.
Andre was first shocked when he learned he was going to open Eurovision
2006. "I don't know why my family thought I would be the 23rd,"
says the singer.
