After delivering a powerful performance in the second semifinal, the Azerbaijani duet AySel & Arash broke into the Eurovision Song Contest final among the 10 strongest acts. According to the draw, the Azerbaijani duet will sing under number 11 in the Contest final.
At the winners’ press conference, AySel gave Arash a special amulet that she had prepared for him specifically to celebrate their likely entry into the final. The fang-shaped amulet is made of a green stone and silver. It is a symbol of power and victory, as AySel explained.
In fact, Azerbaijan’s breakthrough into the final came as little surprise. AySel & Arash had been among the clear leaders for many days before SF 2. Late at night on 13 May, the esctoday.com’s Big Poll, based on more than 110,000 votes, predicted Azerbaijan as one of three guaranteed qualifiers from SF 2.
On top of that, the duet’s website www.ayselarash.com was named the most interactive website among all online resources of this year’s Eurovision performers in a special poll of Eurovision journalists. The poll was conducted by Russia’s Pervy Kanal, the Contest organizers, among all accredited journalists of Eurovision 2009.
In just a few hours, we invite you to watch our special behind-the-scenes video from the stage and green room of SF 2 on www.ayselarash.com and www.youtube.com/ayselarash
