Yalchin Rzazade: "No Azerbaijani singer deserves to participate in Eurovision"

"There is really no one to worthy represent Azerbaijani people and country in this song contest. Azerbaijani singers claiming that they can participate in Eurovision can only sing in restaurants and they become popular by the help of money. But you cannot bribe abroad. I restate that there is no worthy young singer in Azerbaijan to participate in the Eurovision," people's artist, singer Yalchin Rzazade told APA.

According to him, a singer to participate in this song contest should be a professional first of all. "Secondly, he or she should have a beautiful appearance. There are beautiful singers in Azerbaijan. However, not all of them are talented," Rzazade said.

"Our pop stars do not meet the standards of this contest. What I want to say is that some of our pop stars claming to participate in the contest cannot represent Azerbaijan worthily. It would be shameful for us. In Azerbaijan, if you have money, you can write songs, make records or clips. Most of our young singers pay some money to televisions to display their clips, as a result the new generation is obliged to listen to these songs. It is not a real art," the popular singer said.
