Jivan Gasparyan May Participate in Eurovision 2010 with Eva Rivas
16:32 • 19.03.10

Famous Armenian duduk player Jivan Gasparyan may take part in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest together with Eva Rivas, representing Armenia, said Gasparyan himself to Tert.am at a press conference launching his newly released album today.

Gasparyan mentioned that he had received the invitation from Valeri Saharyan, the singer’s producer and head of the “Armenia Production” producing centre.

Gasparyan also said he had promised to participate then, but now has to listen to the song first and then decide whether he will perform the duduk portion in the song during Rivas’s performance.

Referring to Eurovision 2010, Gasparyan said it is not a serious contest as it is SMS voting and not professionals that decide who the winners are.

Asked how likely Gasparyan’s participation is in Eurovision, Saharyan told Tert.am that “anything is possible,” adding that Gasparyan’s participation might be a winning card in Eva’s performance.

Re: Eurovision 2010

Who is her mother?

For I've read, a famous singer and music producer. But most surely some lady who has pampered her daughter too much and must have some good connections in the business.

Re: Eurovision 2010

her mother is Nadejda Sarksyan, a tv programs producer and recitals organizer and producer. several years ago she used to produce and present the 'doremi' program which discovered young talents aged 4/5 to 12/13. in this program she was assisted by a young girl aged 5 or 6, very talented, but who was later kicked off to be replaced by Emmi

That wasn't even two seconds she's got that thing on her face, and she's like she had a near-to-death experience. Either she's a drama queen or this thing was very acted up...I personally go for the second one.

Oh and also, the comments are hilarious! Specially those defending her for being so "brave"
