Tutunjyan, famous Armenian jazz drummer, said at a press conference
at Mirror Club, Tuesday.
Demonstrating journalists the SMS he sent in favor of the Norwegian
singer Alexander Rybak, the jazzman said: 'It was an easy and
beautiful song and very sincere. Although Eurovision is called a
political contest, this time politics yielded to sincerity', he said.
Nevertheless, Armen Tutunjyan was surprised at the fact that
participation in Eurovision has become an issue of almost state
importance for Armenia.
'It would be better investing funds in our young talents', he said.
He called Jan-Jan a 'well performed, but bad song' and called on
Armenia for refusing from participation in Eurovision pure of heart.
'After the 4th, 10th and two 8th places, we can easily go on such
step', he said. For his part, the well-known composer Aram Satyan
insisted that Armenia chose a wrong song but not wrong singers. 'Our
mistake was our desire to prove that Armenia is more eastern state
than its neighbors. By the way, this tendency has been observed over
the last years.
At the same time we have not noticed that the East has become
boring and Europe wants something new', he said. In this context,
he positively assessed the performance by Azerbaijani singers. 'It
is a general truth that an easy song easily gets stuck in memory. Let
it be just five notes, but easy to take up', A. Satyan said. Despite
this opinion, he blames the passivity of the Union of Composers for
low results of Armenia.
To recall, Armenia finished the 10th at Eurovision Final 2009.
