06.08.2002Third dayAs we found not every contestants of Voice of Asia followed perfomances of others. Some of them explain it with nervousness, some were sure in their success, some were interested only in own perfomance. For example, one contestant said, that he is concentrating only on his entry, cause his inside mood is more important for him. And how everyone is perfoming he'll see at Gala-concert, cause at rehearsals they didn't sang in full strength. Contest program was finished by … member of jury Biser Kirov who performed old soviet hit about bird of luck of tomorrow. Probably he meant tomorrow's ceremony, somebody will win, and other have chance to do better at other festivals. Only last day finished with friendly party of contestants. At previous years such nights were starting from the very first day. There were cases when contestants went to scene tired and half-asleep. But today is time for proffecionals, who regulated their time and prefer to keep their schedule, to insure their win. Yesterday it was most important day for all contestants, last chance to get good score, last song which can bring win, cause Gala-concert is not counted. Rivalry ended… Here is what contestants said from scene: Takhmina Ashimbekova (she opened third day):
Roberta from Bulgaria, singing second, refused to speak with media. She just replied shortly "No-No" and run away to make-up room. She seemed to be disappointed. Lauuris Reiniks, singing on the second day did his best,
Edy from Indonesia:
Siti (Malaysia)
Arnne Hidalgo from Philippines:
Karen Polidano, Malta
Andre from Armenia
Third day was full of surprises for audience. After contestants jury member from Sri Lanka Aruntati Sri Ranganatan went to scene. But not to announce something, or to talk. She performed song Dana Int.'s "Diva". Dance composition sang by honourable jury member looked very exotic. Audience was applauuding. And journalists thought it to be joke from jury. Representative of Kazakhstan Aldabergen Zhaksybaev was supported by wife and 6year old daughter.
For the first time in history of fetival hosts worked with microphone which is fasten behind the ear- and hands are free. As hostess of festival Botagoz Aldongarova said "thanks to this microphones we with Srym Koshkabaev (host) can move through the scene, run, talk to contestants,present them flowers. But in first day there was an incident. Katerina Novakova started singing her song "Little". And it appeared to be really short, only 1.20, and we ran to the scene and I forget to switch microphone on. Srym noiticed it, and ran after me through all scene and helped to switch it. |
