Moscow. Ulkar Gasimova – APA. “I want song to win at the Eurovision 2009 and people to vote for the art. The art is not in first place in this contest in recent yearsâ€, first Eurovision winner and special guest of Eurovision 2009 Lys Assia told journalists, APA correspondent reports from Moscow. She said there have been more changes in the contest and the taste of audience has also changed since her participation at the contest. “In our generation the performance was enough, but now various shows are demonstrated on the stage. This is not a show or beauty contest. This is a song contest. It is wrong to distract the audience’s attention with all these shows. I have not watched the Eurovision contests in recent yearsâ€. Lys Assia said her victory at this contest changed many things in her life. “The victory opened new way in my life and art. This was very light and unachievable way. I want song to win this yearâ€.
