Eurovision 2022: Armenia’s Second Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Armenia is the third country to rehearse with precious Rosa Linn! There’s a full constructed set for this performance, our first of the day. It’s a white bedroom with walls and furniture that look like they’re made from sticky notes – we’ve just had a chat with the Armenian delegation (sat in the Green Room pod next to us) and they’ve confirmed it’s a reinforced paper structure. The set also rotates (through manpower, rather than an actual rotating stage), which provides a very cool ending. This is what we found out during the first rehearsals.

About The Second Rehearsal

What a gorgeous and touching rehearsal! The performance starts with Rosa Linn sitting on her bed and playing the guitar. She then puts it away and stands up. She’s tearing down some post-it notes and we can see such writings as ”June 22nd”, ”The Last One”, ‘Snap’, heart drawing. In the bridge she tears down the circle you all might have noticed when first rehearsal pictures dropped! A fabulous ending. The camera angles are perfect and the shot with water and lightning is incredible! I’m touched by this rehearsal!

Eurovision 2022: Armenia’s First Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

After Subwoolfer from Norway, Rosa Linn from Armenia, is here to ‘SNAP‘ at the Eurovision stage!

Everything about Rosa Linn

Born and raised in Vanadzor, singer-songwriter Rosa Linn will represent Armenia in Turin.

In her own words, Rosa says: ‘From the outside looking in, the odds seemed like they were against me – an unknown girl from a small town in Armenia. But the power of manifestation is real when it is combined with hard work; persistence; and just putting oneself out there. I’m excited to let people into my inner-world through my music.’

Rosa will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of her country’s Junior Eurovision counterpart, Maléna, who won the most recent Junior Contest for Armenia in Paris last December.

The Rehearsal

There’s a full constructed set for this performance, our first of the day. It’s a white bedroom with walls and furniture that look like they’re made from sticky notes – we’ve just had a chat with the Armenian delegation (sat in the Green Room pod next to us) and they’ve confirmed it’s a reinforced paper structure.

The set also rotates (through manpower, rather than an actual rotating stage), which provides a very cool ending.

Armenia: “All I can say right now is that it’s gonna be very intimate :)” – EurovisionFun interviewed Rosa Linn

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Armenia came back to Eurovision Song Contest this year with a very precious representative, whose name is Rosa Linn (Rosa Kostandyan). She will represent the country with a very personal song of hers with her being the main songwriter behind it which is called ‘SNAP‘. EurovisionFun messaged to interview her and the kind-hearted team immediately agreed to arrange the interview.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVqGKkm7xBE

We asked her several questions and she answered them!

  • Rosa, what is ‘SNAP’ about?

The song was written at a point in time where I was at this snapping point. It’s about being on the verge of giving it all up but in the end, realizing that I could face these difficulties easier and overcome them with a bit more self love.

  • What were your reaction and the reaction of your family members when you told them about being selected to represent Armenia at the biggest music contest?

Being selected has a very deep meaning to me as it’s something I’ve dreamed of since a young age. The last two years were terribly negative for me and my family and my country. I can bring something positive to my country with my participation in ESC and that’s why I was so excited to be selected for this opportunity.

  • You’re one of the artists of Tamar Kaprelian’s label “Nvak Collective”. What made you apply to be part of it?

In 2019 I was playing at a local festival with my band, after our performance their community manager came to me and suggested to apply to a summer songwriting camp. I did. After that I got invited to take part in the same process but in Israel. Since then Nvak has just become my family and Tamar is always someone I have looked to for guidance while navigating this industry.

  • What does the music video symbolize?

The concept was developed by the music video director and it’s about taking the risk, and flying to catch your dreams. When I first was presented with his idea I instantly felt connected to that story and the message really captured exactly what I thought when writing the song. That’s the energy I want to bring to Eurovision!!!

  • Your live performances of ‘SNAP’ at the preparties were fascinating and magical. Were you nervous since those were your first performances in front of big audiences?

I thought I would be. But once I got on the stage and saw the eyes of people in front… it’s like they took the nerves away and I just enjoyed every bit of my performance.

  • Did you make any friendships during the preparties?

All the participants I met were good people which made me really happy. We got close by the end of the promo tours and I already miss them around. I’ve had the chance to keep in touch with some contestants like Sheldon, Ronela, Stefan on socials doing lives and just going back and forth about our shared experiences.

  • Who are your favourites of this year’s contest?

There are a lot of artist that stood out for me this year and I think we have a very strong competition this year (in a positive meaning)… I really believe in Cornelia as an artist, I know that she’ll give us much more after ESC. I think Sheldon has the most beautiful voice. I love MARO and Amanda. Idk each artist is really unique in their own way.

  • Will your staging in Turin be the continuation of the music video or will it be completely different from it?

All I can say right now is that it’s gonna be very intimate 🙂

We wish Rosa Linn all the best!
