The Eurovision selection is different
Gebrasy participates in the national Eurovision Song Contest for the fourth time. A.Petrauskas, who became the leader in the second show of the competition and will sing in the semifinals on Saturday night, said that this year’s selection is very different from the previous ones.
“The atmosphere of this year’s Eurovision selection is absolutely incomparable to previous ones. It used to be that in the morning you would come to the studio, there are sound checks, then you have lunch, you take a walk, you go to the studio, where the audience will meet you. wait, and then you watch the performances with other participants. This year, all this is not there, just show up at the studio, you’re filming and everything. Until the broadcast, both the commission evaluations and the participants’ performances are a surprise ” Gebrasy said backstage.
The selection of “Eurovision” in 2021 is also distinguished by the fact that the group “The Roop”, who did not participate in the competition last year, received the right to appear immediately in the final selection. Although in recent days some of the contestants said that The Roop had received a lot of attention, they had been left out, A. Petrauskas smiled that it could be expected.
“Frankly, I didn’t think about The Roop when I went to the screenings. I didn’t think about the competition at all. As I entered the selection, I realized that I needed this opportunity because I was sitting at home playing songs and I had no one to whom. show them. It was all I needed for that return to the stage. All the most popular Lithuanian artists could have participated here, I would not have been scared. I knew I needed it as a person, as a performer, “said Gebrasy.
Daina “Where do you want to go?”:
Looking ahead to Saturday, A. Petrauskas does not hide that lately he has often heard the question of how he evaluates his chances in the “Eurovision” competition. Still, Gebrasy is open, I have never believed in his work before.
“It would be quite irresponsible to evaluate my chances, because I have not reached the final yet. Maybe there are people who measure, predict something, but I’m not one who likes to direct events with the naked eye. I think we all have to show that we deserve to be in this scenario, so I am focusing on the semi-finals right now. Still, I can say that I rated my chances much more favorably than the last three times when I participated in the selection. I have received comments that people like my song, I’m very happy for it, ”Gebrasy said.

The singer adds that he has always been a fan of the Eurovision Song Contest. Gebrasy reveals that getting on the big stage has been a dream since childhood.
“I’ve been watching this competition since I was a kid, I didn’t miss a single semi-final or a single final. That love for competition really was and I was always looking and thinking that maybe one day I would get there too. But that match. It is not my only goal, I am not going to come here to participate. I come because I know I can achieve a good result “, shared Gebrasy.
