Armenia's representative Parg had his second rehearsal for Eurovision yesterday, May 8, in Basel, Switzerland, which immediately received a lot of feedback on the official Eurovision page. Under the video posted on social networks lasting just a few seconds, fans of the contest expresse their admiration for the singer's image, movements, and vocals. "He should definitely make it to the final," they write in the comments section.

What impressions does the singer himself have after his performance? Parg answeres a few question specially for NEWS.am STYLE.

⁠“My emotions are incredibly interesting and warm. When you're on stage, everything becomes different and magical. And when you enjoy the stage even during the rehearsals and get such a good response, it gives you great strength and enthusiasm, which I will take with me to the stage on the competition day,” says the singer.

Parg has been working on his physical fitness and vocals for months, every day. “Of course, it’s difficult, but with hard work and discipline, anything is possible. I had to be consistent with the song and the performance,” he adds.

The singer’s rehearsal has already caused a lot of surprise, but the final performance, according to the Armenian delegate, will be full of even more surprises. “In general, there is a surprise part in the performance, more development and culmination, which you will see already on the first day of the competition. The authors of the performance are ⁠Marvin Dietmann and Marie-Sophie Kreissl. We worked on the choreography with Eirini Damianidou.”

Parg says that fantastic and warm relations have been formed with the representatives of other countries. "And after the rehearsals, the staff often approaches and excitedly says that they were thrilled, that is the greatest assessment for me," he adds.
