Philip: I was confident of winning the Lazarev!

After the Russian national selection "Euro Vision 2008" a few questions answered Philip King of Pop domestic variety. Issues of the newspaper "Novye Izvestia". - Philip Bedrosovich what impression on the results of the vote? - Frankly, I was shocked to fourth place Sergey Lazarev. He is definitely one of the most talented artists in Russia today. Moreover, he has never represented the country at the "Euro Vision". Although I rooted for the recognition, but he was sure he would win Lazarev -. Especially as he has an army of fans I was sure I would win Lazarev! - Dima Bilan on "Euro Vision" serious competitor for Ani Lorak that you produced? - I would not call it the "competition." Yes, I wrote the music for the song "Shady Lady", which is represented Ukraine Ani Lorak (Incidentally, the author of the text - the infamous Karen Kavaleryan), but I have not decided on their preferences. Dima Bilan and we share a personal friendship and mutual cooperation, remember his performance in the past to the "Euro Vision" and a room with a piano - we came with it. So no hard rivalry Bilan Ani Lorak and should not be. On the contrary, I hope that Ukraine and Russia will vote for each other. - What do you think about artists, suddenly second and third place? - No matter how unexpected it seem like they are ahead of Sergey Lazarev, both of them - and Eugene Pleasing and Panayotov - very talented singers. Eugene rants showed great song, I think it is a very promising musician and Panayotov what to say, star. - How can they overcome Lazarev? - It's hard to say, maybe it was his song "European" for sentimental Russian audience.
