"Tattoo" at Eurovision "" everyone was held by fools "

The final of Eurovision was hot. Now journalists are trying to analyze everything that happened on this day, and on the days preceding the competition in Riga. Here's how the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine describes the song show (full translation of the article on the website Inopressa.ru )

Journalists have their own favorites. Who will listen to twenty-six songs over a week, he will love them willy. Even the Kabaretist from Austria Alpha, understand with his number, which is a mixture of national motive with metal and combines criticism of the foundations of society with frank shouting, welcome with enthusiastic cries. The Polish group ICH Troje is collected by the Polish group for the song-tale of the best world in which the boundaries do not play any role that they sang in German, Polish and Russian. But during the performance, the Tattoo heard a displeased whistle .

For obvious reasons, thanks to the huge number of articles in the press, Julia and Lena were especially interested in the audience of Eurovision. Therefore, in any action of girls, the participants in the competition tried to see the shocking and an attempt to create a scandal, they were treated with fear.

When, during the rehearsals, on which all the contestants are obliged to be present, only Lena sang (Julia had a sore throat, and the organizers were presented with a medical certificate), rumors immediately crawled that the “tattoo” was preparing an excuse in advance in the event of a loss, or ... another scandal.

According to journalists, all week before the show, the girls rarely appeared in public, gave interviews only to the elect and were seen only at the Russian reception. When the show still continued, both 18-year-old soloists suddenly appeared in the press center. They pass through the hall aimlessly. The one who watched while the girls disappeared in the zone closed to journalists missed four other participants. This behavior causes discontent . The Polish singer Mikhail Visnevsky after the winner became known, said: "The main thing is that they did not win the" tattoo ". They held everyone here for fools."

At the festival on the Russian duet, great hopes were entitled. “If this year it is possible to make“ Eurovision ”by a peculiar Olympics of European pop music, then thanks to Russia, and not to an old Europe,” said the curator of the festival Jurgen Mayer-Bir on the eve of the final. Countries such as Russia, Poland and Ukraine, according to experts, specifically send stars of domestic pops to it, while “self -respecting artists” from France, Germany and the UK do not dare to take part in Eurovision, fearing for their image.

The unexpected victory of Turkey from the candidate from Germany singer Lu causes positive responses: "Today, the musicians answered the questions that politicians pose." Europe, it seems, began to consider originality, modernity and adapted in accordance with the trends of the time of tradition. The British, who received 0 points, feel the abandoned God and Europe. They say that this is a retribution for the war in Iraq.

There were fears that the final could break due to organizational problems. The fact is that two months ago the producer of the festival was replaced. Small television stations between the performances that were used at the last Eurovision festival in Tallinn were made only during the rehearsal week. However, the scene sparkles, the program passes perfectly, and Latvia wins, despite the failure of its song, the respect of Europeans.

The Minister of Culture called the third place "Tattoo" by the recognition of the cultural achievements of Russia abroad

Speaking about the duet "Tattoo", which took third place at the Eurovision-2003 song contest, a mile of the same time admitted that he hoped that the duet would take first place. “But we must pay tribute to them. They filled a very important niche in the world show business. These are not just talented performers, but also a smart producer of Shapovalov. All the scandals that they cause is a well -adjusted story,” the Minister of Culture said.

At the same time, the minister noted that Russia is represented on world arenas not only with a duet of "tattoo". “We have everything in our culture today - from“ tattoo ”and circus masters to Norshtein, Gergiev, Sokurov,” the minister said.
