Elnur Husseynov, said: "I think to sing with Samir in this contest. Otherwise, I will refuse. I do not intend to participate in the contest alone. If my opinion is taken into account, I will prefer only a duet".
"There couldn't be this staging without Samir. We have very different kind of voices, and even visually we're different. This contrast creates a gimmick, raises the interest. And nobody from the other contestants can sing mugham like Samir"
"The main idea of Angel and Devil was ours. The song is basically about what is going on in the world. We are against pain, fear, war and everything bad. We want to show people that everything is in hands of God. He created the Devil, who is the Fallen Angel, and he created the Angels. After song of Angel Devil changes to the better. Mugham - is voice of soul after it become clear of all the bad things. After the Devil sings mugham he falls on his knees together with Angel. He returns back to the roots, to the God. However, I think there is more devilish in myself, and Samir probably should be an angel by nature. But...we're just people, human beings".
"It also really helped that we were not alone on stage. It helped to mobilize the forces, to feel the support of each other. There were 5 of us, and we were as one whole. The backing dancing is group from the Ukraine. Girl, who is acting imp is Azerbaijani girl, living in Ukraine. The staging should be more developed, there were some wrong things. But we will try to do it better, the show will become more interesting as it was on 2nd of February". (www.eurovision.az)
