Epress.am News from Armenia
The winner of the 8th edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, Vladimir Arzumanyan from Armenia, gave a great press conference at the Minsk Arena just after his victory in the same hall, reports the official Junior Eurovision website.
He talked very openly with the press there and even admitted he liked Sonja from Serbia. “I told her yesterday,” the young star said.
He also had an interesting dream last night – he dreamt he’d have a tough day but that in the end he’d win! And did that come true!
But what does he want as a present for his victory? Well, putting into his words — “I want a brother, my mother promised me that if I’d win!”
Now, after winning the biggest music contest for young singers, he still doesn’t think of himself as a star.
“Stars are only in the sky, I’m only human,” Vladimir told the press.
His mother was also present at the press conference and was especially happy for his song. “He’s from a small village in Armenia, so that’s especially a big win for us,” she explained.
Vladimir won by just one point. Voters and juries from 14 countries chose his song “Mama” as first place, followed by Russia’s entry, “Boy and Girl” by Liza Drozd and Sasha Lazin (119 points) followed by Serbia (113 points), Georgia (109 points), Belarus (85 points) to round out the top 5.
