Today we continue with the Valentina Monetta interview here on Blogilkar. Time to talk about bad mouthed fans, Valentina's favourites and coming performance on the stage of Crystal Hall in Baku and her plans after the Eurovision. Here you go:
Most
fans didn't really welcome the song with open arms. What do you think
about that? Do you want to say something to them? In the end the fan
vote counts next to nothing when it's the big night and real voting.
As
they say variety is the spice of life. You can't please everyone. The
critic and polemics also help you to grow and get better. Well, I
have also got a lot of positive feedback, especially from the young
people. I stand for it, I like to put myself into questioning, to
find new forces and to continue loving my work. What can I say? We
will see what happens. I believe in this song, so does my staff. My
song is carefree and ironic just like me. Sometimes we need someting
simple in this complicated world.
Did you have any idea how fierce the Eurovision fans can be? And how many they are?
I knew Eurovision has a lot of fans being such a great event... but I had no idea about how devoted the fans are but I'm doing my most to keep calm and just trying to have a good time no matter what.
And
the songs this year? Have you had time to listen to them? Any
favourites?
I
have heard the songs by Nina Zilli and Anggun and I like them both a
lot. And I hope to make the final to be able to meet them both!
And
how will your live performance be? Will you have backing singers or
dancers or some special effects?
My
performance will be insane! Ha ha ha ha! I have five excellent
backing singers. And I won't say anything more. It'll be a
surprise...
From
here to May there'll be a lot to do, right? You already have
something fixed: You'll be in the gatherings in Amsterdam and London
but is there something else planned?
Yes,
we have a lot of work. Most of all I need to practice my English that
has gone a bit rusty but still works musically it seems. As for the
promo dates I'm doing just London and Amsterdam.
Did
you have any idea how fierce the Eurovision fans can be? And how many
they are?
I
knew Eurovision has a lot of fans being such a great event... but I
had no idea about how devoted the fans are but I'm doing my most to
keep calm and just trying to have a good time no matter what.
Let's
talk about Italy. Will there be a catfight between you and Nina
Zilli?
Some
will expect that I guess but in my way of thinking I'm competing
against all the others, but with great calmness and dignity. Of
course it won't be easy competing against Nina but I have also made
myself a bit known in Italy and have my fans.
Have
you met Miodio or Senit? Have they given you any good advice?
I
have met Miodio and they support me fully. We know each other since a
log time and they have been supportive to my work already before
Eurovision. They adviced me to stay calm no matter what and to be
prepaired for averything but I can't wait. I love to throw myself in
there, learn more, to sing in English for real. I have an eccellent
production team now and I believe I have everything one needs to get
a good result and I'm sure Eurovision will do nothing but help my
career.
And
post-Baku 2012, how do you see your life then? Will you come to
Finland?
I
see great things after Baku! Surely I will be travelling more, I will
speak better English and I'll surely be stronger facing my work
experiences. And I hope I can do a trip to Finland very soon, too!
:-) And I want to thank you and all my fans. And please: Click me with your mouse!!!! Kisses!
Thank
you Valentina and good luck in Baku!
