It looks like the best of times "Euro Vision" long gone, in the 70s and 80s. Now the first place his last claim artists, records which barely reach one song "Waterloo", "Abba, Euro Vision" 1974, "which was the opening of" are. Since 90 of these European Song Contest is no longer popular in the West and in Eastern Europe to get rid of, hoping the post-plume stereotypes. But here it is, oddly enough, often accusations that the "Euro Vision" has become a means of consolation for states that do not fit economically made in the EU itself. This gave the obvious outlier of European integration, Turkey and Ukraine, the first place in previous competitions, distinguished himself on the stage, but the desire to win a talent. About him, and of course about Ukraine's preparations for the 50th anniversary in May Euro Vision Song Contest, the conversation with the manager of the "Euro Vision" Svante Stockselius - by the company "Nemiroff", which helped to create an exclusive interview to organize "Today." - What in the preparation of Kiev for "Euro Vision" causes the biggest concern? - The biggest problem - time. This is our greatest enemy, because we are terribly behind the planned schedule. But fortunately, many have already done, I was referred to an agreement with the Sports Palace of holding concerts on his side. - Does it look too confusing and ticket reservation system for the competition? - Yes, I do not like the company sells tickets. First announced it May 21 and on sale February was going to be 21 by the time of commencement of the ticket to March moved. But now, they have not gone on sale - you can only book online. - Have there been in the history of the competition out similar situation with tickets, slippage, and how the administration was? - No problem, never dodged. For example, in Turkey, in the past year also delayed sale of tickets. But I can say that the preparation for the competition in Ukraine, perhaps one of the problems of those who are in my head. - You've already seen the official Ukrainian souvenirs with the "Euro Vision" and the thoughts in this regard? - For those who come to Ukraine for the competition, and never been there - it's great to buy something was very traditional. I think that's exactly what they want. Although, of course, those who live here, from birth, to determine how interesting souvenirs. - How do you assess the level of preparation of the Sports Palace for the contest? - I got it a few days ago, he was not ready. But he was not finished until May. I think May, all work to be completed. - How complicated the preparations for the "Euro Vision" in Kiev, the resignation of the former head of Ukraine Oleksandr Savenko Natstelekompanii? - Of course I assumed that this would happen, because the relationship between the state and the TV in Ukraine is stronger than in Western countries. We connect with Savenko warm friendships, but now I am happy to cooperate with the new head of NTU Taras Stetskiv. At a time Savenko promised that the Ukrainian "Euro Vision" comes alive with surprises -. You open one of them? - The first of these "surprises" for me was the resignation Savenko. I do not know what he would say this is a surprise to you, but on the other hand, I can assure you - "Euro Vision" in Kiev is very entertaining and absolutely fantastic scene. And the surprises are directly in the show. Some things are new. Although the content of the competition will remain the same, the opening and closing of this time will be filled with Ukrainian content. - According to the rules, the European Broadcasting Union not decide which artists represent his country at the "Euro Vision". Nevertheless affect whether?'s Picture history of the competition with the unexpected appearance in the finals of the "Jolly Green" what regular discussions about the politicization of the "Euro Vision" - "Euro Vision" - designed not a political event but a pop competition to promote the theme of friendship and mutual understanding between people and nations. "Euro Vision" should not serve as a platform for political statements or political propaganda. To avoid politicization, the European Broadcasting Union put on the Ukrainian side will choose to perform a different song, or change the text of the old tunes. As a result, the group wrote the text, removing the political passages from it, and the current version of the song we are quite happy. - Impressions from the song "Jolly Green"? - I heard this song a few days ago, in a restaurant, where they on the radio. It is a good rhythm. As for the text, of course, we are not against a variety of texts. It's as boring as all your songs about love. But they should not talk about politics. - Were there precedents where the performer of "Euro Vision" insisted on the implementation of the song with political lyrics? - I remember it not. But there were others - if the lyrics sounded offensive by every word and had to rewrite the text. - In the past, were problematic? - A number of problems arose a few years ago with the Russian group "Tatu", who persistently ignored all samples. - "Tattoo" was the clear favorite - why did not they win? - The Group has taken the third place - it is a very good result. - What you can to those who believe winning the "Euro Vision" by political, tactical reasons for those countries that still do not want to see the EU, distributed? - I do not understand those who think winning the Euro Vision Song Contest "deal". TV viewers tuning in all over Europe in the competition, the decision so who will get the victory. The most important factor here is the entertainment and emotional speech. Current Participants also, I think we should pay more attention to illustrate the performance, because it on television, is not radioactive, and we not only hear, but also see a performance of the song. Therefore, we must very much for the viewer to remember you do on stage. For example, last year, Ruslana presented a very incendiary, dynamic: it tossed in the air, they had trembita. Perhaps this was the reason that the audience for their song "Wild Dances" is selected. And in 2003, for the same reasons Turk won, she was dancing, plastic. That is, should, three minutes execution a real show. - Who has a better chance of winning this year - a solo artist or a group of what music can be supported with the audience? - I can not say this with certainty because not all the songs taking part in the competition is on this year. You never know who will win - or dynamic ballad song, solo artist or band. - What is missing current participants of the "Euro Vision" in comparison with the 70-mi, where live music level "Abba"? - Back in the 70s, of course, "Abba" was a great band with great songs, but is next to "Abba" always there were many talented artists. The same is about today. But then the songs varied, the more were brighter. For example, last year the competition was 12 ballads and I had the feeling that they were written by the same person. We want to win the singer, creating a repertoire of more talented, famous composers and poets. - What is the period in the history of the competition was the most successful? - If I (laughs) in the competition was busy. But seriously - the upcoming Ukrainian competition. It will be the largest number of subscribers. - In October, the Danish hosts of the 50th anniversary concert Anniversary of the "Euro Vision" dedicated. Will it be former members of the group "ABBA", won the "Euro Vision" in 1974? Will they reunite for this event again? - I would like this to happen, but the ex-band "ABBA" declares that never sing together again, and not even to collect on a stage. But we will do our best to raise them at least on a single statement. - If you fail, it is hoped that at least one of the participants of the "ABBA" will come to the concert? - I think that is probably for those who are unable to get more than others also active in show business - is, of course, Benny and Björn. Recently, they have the musical "Mamma Mia". Produced - What kind of silly, funny stories from the history of the "Euro Vision" remember the most? - Remember, in Denmark, in the concert and everything, all the funny moments. And personally I really remember is this: in the past year in Turkey gave leading values in the immediate involvement and then apparently got distracted, and she forgot that she was in the air, with admirable enthusiasm began to clean the finger nose. Then she was very ashamed.
