EuroVisionary.com - Eurovision Song Contest 2008, Belgrade

Elnur and Samir, the Azerbaijan angels from the Eurovision Stage, suprisingly announced that they will never be paticipating in the contest again. They reached 7th place at this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade.

After having qualified for the final, the first ten qualifier had to pick a number that would be their starting position in the final. EuroVisionary brings you the exiting moments on video so you can see how the ten participants reacted to their lucky number.

The fifth day of rehearsals saw most of the countries participating in the first semi-final rehearse for the second time. The day started in the Balkans with Montenegro and ended, well, in the Balkans with Bosnia.

In a small survey conducted among popular Azerbaijan artists the Azeri Press Agency found that most did not understand one of the main rules of the contest. 

Every day, Eurovisionary will be bringing you a summary of all the press conferences held by each delegation soon after they have rehearsed. Today was the first day of rehearsals and Montenegro had the honour of getting things underway.

Although Azerbaijan enters the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time this year, Elnur - the Azerbaijani representative - talked about challenging for a possible victory at the contest, ''We believe that we will win if we perform well.''

While in Andorra on their promotion tour Elnur and Samir took some time to answer a few questions for us. They are touring a lot to try and ensure a good result for the country's debut entry.

Elnur and Samir have finally announced their plans for a promotional tour for the Eurovision Song Contest which will be held in Belgrade this year.

Azerbaijan has selected Elnur as their first representative on the Eurovision Song Contest stage. After the Swiss vampires didn't survive the 2007 semi-final, Azerbaijan tries the same theme again hoping that angels might keep them alive.
