Eurovision 2023: Armenia’s Second Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The next artist to come up on the stage is Brunette, representing Armenia, with the song “Future Lover”.

Who is Brunette?

Elen Yeremyan, known in the music industry as Brunette, is an Armenian singer and songwriter born in 4th May of 2001 and raised in Yerevan. She’s active in singing and songwriting at the age of fifteen and she released her debut single “Love The Way You Feel” at 2019. Brunette is also a member of the girl group “En aghjiknery” translated as “ThoseGirlz”. Last year, the singer released many singles which you can find on all music platforms.

On 1st February, it was announced that Brunette was internally chosen to represent her country to the Song Contest by the National Broadcaster ARMTV.

The Rehearsal

Unfortunately this year, accredited journalists don’t get the chance to watch the first and second rehearsals, so we only get the information and content that the organizers officially release to the public.

The Armenian team did not make any changes to the costume or staging from what we saw on their first rehearsal on Monday.

One thing we can say for sure is the lighting and LED floor graphics in this performance look incredible on the TV screen!

The performance begins as a simple ballad, with Brunette lying on an inclined structure set up at the front of the stage, with swirling graphics as a backdrop. Then when the song picks up pace, the lights and graphics change. Vocally the singer is very good as she delivers a strong performance.

The Dress Rehearsal for Armenia and the rest of Semi Final 2 will be held on the 10th of May.

The song starts off with Brunette lying on a sloped stucture that’s been erected at the front of the stage, against a backdrop of swirling graphics. When the rap part starts, the whole stage persence goes off.
