Making the journalists wait for about 20 minutes as usual Andre
arrived and asked them to speak not about the past but about the
future plans. And still, the conversation was mainly about Andre's
participation in "Eurovision2006".
Andre confessed that his performance was not spotless.
According to him, it is not right that he forgot to sing the last
sentence, "Perhaps you didn't notice that I almost swallowed the
microphone. I don't know how it happened. Nothing of the kind had
ever happened during the rehearsals", Andre said.
According to him, the competition assesses not the abilities of the
singer but the song and the show.
"Eurovision" is a totally unpredictable competition.
If during the previous competitions ethnic-modern styles were highly
assessed, this year rock music was given more attention. I like rock
music, but as for the Finnish and Lithuanian bands, they were as if
making fun of the "Eurovision"", he said.
As for the results of the voting, the 10 points from Turkey were not
strange for Andre. On the contrary, he was surprised that he did not
receive 12 points from Turkey. "The Turkish side kept mentioning that
they have a positive attitude towards our song. Moreover, they were
well acquainted with many of my songs," the singer said.
Andre does not deny that the Armenian Diaspora had a great contribution
to his victory. The Armenian community of France played a major
role. Armenia was one of the most active voters: over 250 thousand
people participated in the voting.
