Director of Michael Jackson's History to produce Safura's video

In addition to JaQuel Knight, announced yesterday as Safura's choreographer for Eurovision 2010, it has been revealed today that new additions to the Azerbaijani team have come up. None other than Rupert Wainwright, acclaimed film director and responsible for several films (Stigmata, The Fog, Michael Jackson's History) will make the official video for the entry Drip drop. An stylist has also been taken on: Tanya Gill from America's next top model show.

The video for Drip drop will be recorded in Kyiv, Ukraine, on April 16th-17th and will be premiered on April 28th. It will feature Safura swimming underwater, the singer's production company Euromedia has revealed today.

Apart from having directed some popular films in recent years, Rupert Wainwright also has also won numerous MTV Video Music Awards, Adweek’s Effie and a Grammy. He works with some of the world's leading brands and has produced the Olympics commercial, the centerpiece of Russia's successful campaign for the 2014 Winter Olympics and aired in 142 countries on BBC and CNN International.

Tanya Gill will be in charge of selecting the best costumes for the recording of the videoclip, taking into account the water theme to feature. Gill is best known for her work as the stylist of the America's next top model show. The stylist has worked with renowned celebrities, including Salma Hayek, Ashton Kutcher, Sandra Bullock, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Prince, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger and others.

Good luck, Eva. This is a very nice song. I love how the song really changes in the chorus.

http://esctoday.com/(...);offset=54#reactions ernst, you left your email. no connection to armenia? http://www.google.co(...)amp;aq=t&rls=org

First result: http://www.ngoc.am/A(...)/archive/wiw_eng.pdf zoom in and scroll a few pages. This is an excerpt "...berkum@hotmail.com. "Work and Charity" is a benevolent and right-protective organization. It strives to protect the rights of refugees...etc..." That place is located in Yerevan.

Second google result is a doc with names of people in the organization and their duties, original address is http://www.ann.am/Di(...)'>berkum@hotmail.com Janeta Harutyunova Chairwoman 236483 Taguhi Tyonibekyan Secretary Sofia Buniatova Executive Director.

I've just been looking at that links with those photographs of Baku and it explains a lot, vulgar, tacky and cheap spring to mind, obviously Azerbaijanis are eager to impress and think that this sort of display of vulgarity is how to do it. In the words of Shania Twain, "that don't impress me much". I read a really depressing article about the other side of Ajerbaijan in one of today's news papers. Perhaps you should stop wasting money on your song and spend it on the less well off members of your society.

"A nice add from Azerbaijan"

A strange attitude.
Why a Country need to add ? I can't guess that like a newly opened hotel or a bank; But I think that Azerbajana is also a new country.

Joke of the day

You are my man
You put words in my mouth
Don't tell me whats happening
Cause I know something’s wrong
You smell of the lipstick
All other girls eaten your stick

And these last three weeks passed and you barely walk
I think I know and it’s breaking my heart
And now I am gonna kick you out?

How can I love you forever through this?
How can I trust in you forever through this?
I sure know how to stop,
But I won't stop
This mess drops
That drip drop, drip drop
Drip drop, drip drop
This mess drops
That drip drop, drip drop
Drip drop, drip drop

wohooooo

You are my half
Angelica Agurbash
Its gonna flip flop again


This is my opinion [59854]
Sun 18 Apr 2010 09:35:19

I wonder how many people over the europe want hear the sound of drip drop, well, for sure people don't like to drip drop tears (especially in eurovision), from the ceiling etc... because drip drop always makes mess, it even messed up safuras song :D
