Armenian singer and musician Suren Arustamyan is going to represent
the country at the New Wave 2012 annual song festival in Jurmala.
He is leaving for Latvia on July 14 to participate in the contest. But
before his departure, he held a news conference today to introduce
himself and his expectations of the concert.
Speaking of his merits, the singer said that he differs from all the
other 16 participants with his unique style.
`I have no look-alike in terms of style; they are more in the pop
genre. I am the only one to sing blues. And I am also going to play
music,' he said, introducing the songs to be performed at the contest.
`I will very probably perform Eric Clapton's Change the World on the
hit contest day, and sing the popular Armenian song Ov Sirun Sirun
(Oh, You Beautiful) at the country hit contest,' he said.
The singer noted that the international hits' contest program does not
offer a big choice, adding that the authorship song, which has already
been selected, is very likely to be modified.
Arustamyan admitted that he does not much rely on his vocal features
and is more focused on his general performance.
`I do not consider myself a vocalist, as I count more on my general
performance. So I am not going to surprise anyone with my vocal
music,' he said.
As for his expectations for awards, the singer said he attaches more
importance to good performance and is not thinking about any proposals
of prize funds.
