YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 22, ARMENPRESS: Accepting applications for March 2
national election of "Eurovision 2013" song of Armenia is over. As
reports Armenpress, responsible of "Eurovision" project on Public
TV of Armenia Gohar Gasparyan has noted during press conference on
February 22 that number of applications is more than 70.
"There were applications from Spain, Belgium, Sweden, France, and
Armenia; though unlike songs from abroad, songs from Armenia were of
better quality. In a result several songs have been elected, recorded
and will be presented to the national election," Gasparyan said.
When responding to question of Armenpress reporter, whether song of
Armenian participant Gor Sujyan and "Dorians" rock band is included
in the list, Gohar Gasparyan has noted that names of songs' authors
are going to be blacked out till the end of national voting.
"We have decided not to announce the names of the authors for
this time, as very often, hearing the name of author, many people
mechanically vote for their favorite composer. "So it would be fair to
announce the names after election," said responsible of the project,
noting that this way equal conditions for all the songs were created.
According to her, March 2, day of national election, is going to be
full of surprises, including performance of Malta's representative in
"Eurovision 2013".
Vladislav Yakovlev, head of "Junior Eurovision", "Eurovision Young
Dancers" and "Young Musicians" contests informed that format of
"Junior Eurovision 2013" would undergo some changes.
