Armenian pop diva Emmy is already getting around in Dusseldorf,
a German city hosting this year's Eurovision contest in about a
week's time.
The popular Armenian songstress arrived last weekend and already had
her first rehearsal and backstage interview with the organizer's
website in which she spoke about how things stood for her and her
team and explained the meaning of her entry song, Boom-Boom.
"All our delegation is ill right now, me too. But otherwise everything
is great," Emmy, 27, said on Sunday, as quoted by www.eurovision.tv.
She continued with explaining the lyrics of her song: "Boom boom,
chucka chucka, your kiss is like a, like a".
"The story tells of a girl who's fallen in love with a guy doing
nothing except boxing - only sports, sports, sports. She asks him
to come to the love ring instead of the boxing ring. Chucka means
nothing in Armenian, and I sing "boom boom, chucka chucka". It's a
very catchy song, easy to remember," said Emmy.
The Boom-Boom video released last month features popular Germany-based
Armenian professional boxer Arthur Abraham.
The first of the two Eurovision 2011 semifinals featuring Emmy is
scheduled for May 10, with the grand finale due on May 14.
Meanwhile, on the organizer's website Emmy reveals she'll dedicate
her performance on the Dusseldorf stage to the memory of her father
David Bejanyan, a well-known Armenian sculptor who died in February.
