Emin Agalarov: Eurovision is more than one night
Right now Baku is a reminder that Eurovision is more than one night, famous Azerbaijani singer and composer Emin Agalarov said in an interview with the BBC.
``Every night something is going on and the city feels totally cosmopolitan - it`s a celebration of something huge. The place is alive with different faces, different races, different languages and a lot of very different hair!`` Agalarov said.
According to him, that`s the essence of Eurovision - bringing all these different people together, but to see all this diversity in his hometown is unbelievable.
Emin Agalarov performed exclusively during the half time show of Eurovision 2012 on Saturday.
He also noted that his hopes were for Sabina, who had the daunting task of representing Azerbaijan as the host nation. ``I am sure she feels pressure similar to the one I feel, but she has a strong song and a great chance in the contest. It is always impossible to predict and [the show] throws up complete surprises - like Azerbaijan winning last year!``
