Эксклюзивное интервью лидера рейтинга сайта Яри Силанпаа (Финляндия 2004).
Exclusive interview with leader of our ranking Jari Silanpaa (Finland 2004)
The performers of the twenty songs selected to compete in the 2004 Finnish national final - The Euroviisut - have been announced.
The twenty songs will compete in two semi-finals on January 16th and 17th. Television viewers will have the chance to televote and pick six songs from each semi final for the Euroviisut Final 2004, which will take place in Tampere-talo on January 24th.  The presenters will be Maria Guzenina, Bettina Sagbom and Antero Mertaranta.
The voting procedure in the final will be exactly the same as in 2002. In the first voting round, regional juries will select six songs out of 12 to advance to the second round. As soon as the results of the regional juries are announced, the lines will be opened for televoting and SMS-voting. The song, which receives the highest number of televotes and SMS-votes will be announced as the winner of the Finnish final.
The final total of songs received was 344, down slightly on 2002, when 400 entries were received. According to the rules songwriters and composers may be of any nationality, but YLE insists that the performers must be Finnish or normally reside in Finland. The winning team will receive 4500 Euros.
Объявлены исполнители 20 песен, которые примут участие в финском национальном отборе к конкурсу Евровидение.
Отбор будет включать в себя 2 полуфинала 16 и 17 января. Телезрители выберут по 6 лучших с каждого полуфинала, которые пройдут в финал, намеченный на 24 января. Вести шоу будут Мария Гузенина, Беттина Сагбом и Антеро Мертаранта.
Процедура голосования в финале будет аналогичной 2002 году. В первом раунде региональные жюри выберут 6 лучших песен, которые пройдут во второй раунд. Далее будет проведено теле и СМС голосование, которое и определит победителя.
Общее количество полученных заявок составило 344, чуть ниже 400, полученных в 2002 году. Согласно правилам, национальность автора и композитора может быть любой, но исполнитель должен быть гражданином или проживать в Финляндии. Победитель отбора получит 4500 евро.

Jari Sillanpдд is one of the most successful performing artists in Finland. The beginning of his career can be traced back to the Seinдjoki Tango Festival in 1994, when he won the “Tango Prince’ title. His success story, however, began one year later when he won the competition and was crowned “Tango King’. Over the years Jari has achieved almost everything an artist can hope for. He has released eight albums, various singles, a documentary video and two books have been written about him. In total he has recorded over 100 songs. Most of the songs are soft pop but there are also a few tangos and evergreens among the recordings. Jari performed one of the leading roles in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical, “Aspects of Love,” at the Seinдjoki theatre. He has won The Press Choice Award in the “The Golden Stag” international song contest held in Rumania.
He also won the Finnish selection for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2004 and he has won several Emma Awards. Jari is constantly on tour around Finland with his orchestra and time after time all the concert halls where he performs are sold out.
Яри Силланпаа - один из самых успешных исполнителей Финляндии. Его сногсшибательная карьера началась с Танго Фестиваля в 1994 году, где он получил титул Принц Танго, а на следующий год, после победы в этом же конкурсе - Король Танго.
За свою карьеру Яри достиг почти всего, о чем может мечтать артист. Он выпустил восемь альбомов, синглов, документальное видео и о нем было написано две книги. В общем он записал более 100 песен. Многие из них написаны в поп стиле, но среди них есть и песни в стиле Танго. Яри исполнил одну из главных ролей в мюзикле Эндрю Ллойда Уеббера - Аспекты любви. На фестивале Голден Стаг в Румынии он получил приз - Выбор Прессы.
Яри - обладателя ряда призов Эмми. Он постоянно совершает туры со своим оркестром по Финляндии и раз за разом выступает при полном аншлаге.

Русский перевод - здесь

Time to leave
Time to feel
Harp and horn
Music’s born
Two worlds meet
hungry sharing a fantasy

Tail and wing
Soon will swing
Dusk till dawn
Let the show just begin
In a place where pardon stand
Giving feast on sacred land

The angels and devils meet at night – hallelujah
They dance, they caress each other holding on so tight
The angels and demons side by side – hallelujah
They dance until morning light
When nobody else is in sight
Takes two to tango, tango

Purified
Justified
Times of lust
Times of trust
Praising dark
For one moment in paradise
Passion flows
Eager grows
Time runs out, it’s the end of the show
When the morning is at hand
Time has come to show their stand


The angels and devils meet at night – hallelujah
They dance, they caress each other holding on so tight
The angels and demons side by side – hallelujah
They dance until morning light
When nobody else is in sight
Takes two to tango, tango

Angels falling, hear them calling
Demons rising, they’re disguising
Hearts are beating
Secret meeting
Just for the moment in love

The angels and devils meet at night – hallelujah
They dance, they caress each other holding on so tight
The angels and demons side by side – hallelujah
They dance until morning light
When nobody else is in sight
Takes two to tango, tango
