Armenia: Inga and Anush talk to esctoday

Just before departing for Moscow, Inga and Anush this year's Eurovision Song Contest contestants for Aremina talk with esctoday's Zavan Shegrikyan. In this exclusive interview we hear how the sisters lives have changed since being selected to perform in the contest, details of their promotional tour and their plans to release a new album immediately after the contest.

 esctoday.com: So, dear Inga and Anush, esctoday.com last interviewed with you a few months ago after you had just been chosen to represent Armenia in the contest with your song Jan Jan. I would like to know what has changed in your life since becoming the Armenian hopefuls in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009? How have these last few months changed your life, what new things did you discover during the promo tours and visits to other countries?

Inga: We are really excited about all this both as artists and representatives of our country.

Anush: It’s definitely an incredible chance for us – young artists, to gain professional experience and acknowledgement. And at the time we feel a huge portion of responsibility to lift our country’s name on height.

esctoday.com: You have visited several countries during these months, can your share your experiences share with us? What did the promo tours give to you?

Anush: We are enjoying the promo-tours a lot!!! Feels like this is the joyful first part of something even more fascinating – the contest itself.

Inga: The most precious moment is when you see that people of completely different cultures understand what you wanted to deliver by your song and simply have fun while you sing.

esctoday.com: As we know you have visited Amsterdam and Brussels this month. Any other destinations planned? What will you be doing after the concerts in Amsterdam and Brussels?

Inga: Our visit to Amsterdam will be followed by a concert in Almelo. After we plan to sleep only when we wake up, we’ll think about the further destinations.

esctoday.com: Can you share with us with your thoughts concerning your work with Fresh Art? How will your final appearance during the concerts look like? (Fresh Art are Alexandre Siradeghiyan (Armenia), Aslan Ahmadov (Azerbaijan), David Gevorgyan(Armenia) a famous fashion trio in Russia. The boys work with famous Russian singers and models including the former Eurovision participants Philipe Kirkorov, Alsou, Angelika Agurbash and Natalia Podolskaya. Fresh Art are renowned for extraordinary, naughty, scandalous and always fresh sense of style.)

Anush: The guys from Fresh Art are just cool!!! While working with them you feel that in parallel to the world of business, money and problems there’s another world of creativity, where art knows no borders.

Inga: Our appearance will be something like a hot mix of the characters from Fresh Art’s photo session and our music video.

esctoday.com: During an interview with the Russian First Channel, Fresh Art talked about the so-called element-WOW! We know it's still kept in secret but can you reveal some little details from your stage performance?

Anush: Hmm, you’re trying to dig into the secrets.

Inga: One thing we promise - it is going to be a great show.

esctoday.com: As You know the voting system has been changed this year and we will not only have the televoting but also points from jury. Do You like the new voting system?

Anush: We don’t really think much about the voting system. We participate in the contest to bring joy to people, we sing for sake of singing.

Inga: The most important opinion for us – is the opinion of our fans and the ordinary audience but at the same time it’s very pleasant when your work is appreciated by professionals.

esctoday.com: What other plans do you have after the Eurovision Song Contest? Will there be an album released?

Inga: Bingo!!! You’ve guessed right. Our new album will be released right after the contest.

esctoday.com: And finally what would you like to say to our readers? Any wishes and greetings?

Anush: We would like to send the same message as our song does: be cheerful, forget about your daily problems and dance. We love you, Europe!

@EscHayastan,
The same story again. Ryan Waslch is an old ESCtoday user. Don't call him fake. He has been a member of this website for long time before. The thing he wrote against armenian entry doesn't mean he is fake or he hates Armenia. He just dislikes the song.

Insieme, Unite, Unite, Europe

Con te, così lontano e diverso
Con te, amico che credevo perso
Io e te, sotto lo stesso sogno
Insieme, unite, unite, Europe

E per te, donna senza frontiere
Per te, sotto le stesse bandiere
Io e te, sotto lo stesso cielo
Insieme, unite, unite, Europe

Sempre più liberi noi
Non è più un sogno e non sei più da solo
Sempre più in alto noi
Dammi una mano che prendiamo il volo
L’Europa non è lontana
C’è una canzone italiana per voi
Insieme, unite, unite, Europe

Per noi, nel cielo mille violini
Per noi, amori senza confini
Io e te, sotto gli stessi ideali, mmm…
Insieme, unite, unite, Europe

Sempre più liberi noi
Non è più un sogno e noi non siamo più soli
Sempre più uniti noi
Dammi una mano e vedrai che voli
L’Europa non è lontana
C’è una canzone italiana per voi
Insieme, unite, unite, Europe

Sempre più liberi noi
(Sempre più liberi)
Le nostre stelle, una bandiera sola
Sempre più forti noi
(Sempre più forti)
Dammi una mano e vedrai si vola
L’Europa non è lontana
C’è una canzone italiana per voi
Insieme, unite, unite, Europe

L’Europa non è lontana
C’è una canzone italiana per voi
Insieme, unite, unite, Europe

English Translation

Together:

Together, unite, unite, Europe

With you, so far and different
With you, a friend that I thought I’d lost
You and I, having the same dream
Together, unite, unite, Europe

And for you, a woman without borders
With you, under the same flags
You and I, under the same sky
Together, unite, unite, Europe

We’re more and more free
It’s no longer a dream and you’re no longer alone
We’re higher and higher
Give me your hand, so that we can fly
Europe is not far away
This is an Italian song for you
Together, unite, unite, Europe

For us, in heaven a thousand violins
For us, love without borders
You and I, having the same ideals, mmm…
Together, unite, unite, Europe

We’re more and more free
It’s no longer a dream and we’re no longer alone
We’re uniting more and more
Give me your hand and you will see you’re flying
Europe is not far away
This is an Italian song for you
Together, unite, unite, Europe

We’re more and more free
More and more free
Our stars, one single flag
We’re stronger and stronger
Stronger and stronger
Give me your hand and you will see yourself flying
Europe is not far away
This is an Italian song for you
Together, unite, unite, Europe

Europe is not far away
This is an Italian song for you
Together, unite, unite, Europe

Simply have fun while you sing

We participate in the contest to bring joy to people, we sing for sake of singing.

That's why I love this song! It's simple, catchy, dancy, positive and makes me smile. I think that's one of music's best abilities. A lot of people seem to forget that when they complain about the songs' "quality". Sometimes simple songs are better than the "quality" ones because they make you feel happy and just smile. This is one of them for me this year.

They seem so genuine and they are so likable...

GO ARMENIA!
