Talking with Anggun - Urban.ro Eurovision interview


Acum doua saptamani, la finala nationala pentru Eurovision a fost invitata si Anggun, reprezentanta Frantei la editia de anul acesta a concursului, iar noi am fost printre singurii care au avut ocazia sa ii puna cateva intrebari.
Cantareata franceza de origine indoneziana a fost foarte deschisa cu noi si ne-a povestit foarte multe lucruri despre participarea sa la Eurovision si despre experienta sa din Romania

Anggun s-a aflat la patra vizita in Romania, dar s-a aratat usor dezamagita pentru ca n-a reusit sa viziteze mai mult decat Bucurestiul si imprejurimile sale. Ea a filmat doua clipuri la noi in tara si spune ca este foarte multumita de profesionalismul oamenilor cu care a lucrat in Romania.
Trebuie sa recunosc ca Anggun arata foarte bine, iar din reprezentatia sa din timpul Eurovision-ului de la noi, am ramas placut impresionat si de calitatile sale vocale.
Mai jos aveti si interviul, care este destul de lung... dar care merita vazut pana la final.

Pe parcursul interviului ati putut urmari si cateva secvente din videoclipul piesei "Echo (You and I)", cu care Anggun va reprezenta Franta la Baku.
Acesta a fost lansat saptamana trecuta, iar printre baieti bine facuti si Anggun, putem zari si cateva cadre cu cea mai noua masina din portofoliul Dacia - Lodgy.

Romania va fi reprezentata anul acesta la Eurovision de formatia Mandinga, cu piesa "Zaleilah", al carei videoclip l-ati vazut in premiera pe Urban.ro.
Si daca tot vorbeam de finala nationala e Eurovisionului, sper ca ati vazut deja interviurile din camera verde cu Elena de la Mandinga si cu Costi Ionita. Mai avem cateva interviuri pregatite, pe care vi le vom prezenta in zilele ce urmeaza.
Cum vi se pare Anggun, reprezentanta Frantei? Are sansa mai mare ca Mandinga sa castige Eurovisionul?

Anggun interview with Urban.ro (Romania)



Represent France at Eurovision talked with us before to present the final piece in our (Romania) national.

France: Anggun [Interview] - 'I want to surprise the audience.'


In 2011, France announced Anggun as their entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2012. In January, her song Echo (You And I) was revealed. escXtra.com spoke to Anggun about her song, her career and Eurovision.

Read what Anggun had to say below!

escXtra.com: Hello Anggun! First of all, congratulations on being the French representative this year!
Anggun: Thanks a lot! And thanks for your support.

X: Could you tell us something about who you are, for the people who don’t know?
A: My name is Anggun. I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. I live in France and I’m a French citizen for more than a decade now. I am a singer since the age of 9, I am a music lover and the proud mother of a beautiful little girl. And I will represent France at this year’s Eurovision song contest
:)
X: Your career started over twenty years ago. Could you give us a summary of your career so far?
A: I started my career in Eastern Asia at a very early age. In Indonesia, music is part of people’s genetics and part of every child’s education. My first album became a massive success in Indonesia and I did numerous albums after this, selling over 9 million copies in Eastern Asia. I even opened my own record company. Then, I have decided to start an international career and decided to move to Europe.
 
X: While you have moved to France and are now a citizen, do you still feel a connection to your homeland of Indonesia?
A: Of course. I was born and raised in Indonesia. I still love my native country a lot. I have my family there and I miss them a lot. But I’m proud to have acquired a new identity with my life in France for over a decade now. I’m like someone who has been genetically modified :) I’m French with Indonesian roots. And my life is now in Paris. I’m signed to Warner Music in France, my husband is French and I am the mother of the most adorable little girl :) I feel lucky to share this multiculturalism.

X: When the French broadcaster asked you to go to Eurovision, did you say ‘yes’ immediately or did you hesitate?
A: It took me less than 3 seconds to say yes. I knew my name has been circulating over the last few years at France Televisions. But no one has ever contacted me officially. So when I got a call from Marie-Claire Mezerette and Frederic Valencak from France 3, I was quite surprised. I really feel honoured to be representing France this year. I have always been a big fan of the contest.

X: You have scored quite a few hits worldwide. Do you think your popularity and being known outside France can help you for Eurovision?
A: I don’t think it will help really. Again, we are talking about a song contest. The song is the true star. The artist is just the messenger. I don’t think people will vote for me because I’m Anggun but because they like the song and the performance. That’s why I’m working hard right now on the performance in Baku. I want to deliver something fresh and unexpected. Just like the video of ‘Echo (You and I)’ which has surprised many.

X: Did you get any reactions from Indonesia, where you’re originally from, on your Eurovision participation?
A: Most of Indonesian people seem to be very happy. I’m a child of Indonesia after all J Besides, I know that the Indonesian diaspora, mainly located in The Netherlands, is very excited of my participation. It’s great to see that Indonesia, with its 250m population, will get addicted to the Eurovision song contest for the first time. Before, almost nobody was familiar with the contest. Now they are!

X: Your Eurovision entry is in both French and English. Why did you and your team decide to do that, instead of going with one language?
A: The song remains in French for 80%. A small part of the chorus is performed in English in order for people who do not understand French to relate to the song. I know there has been some controversy in France about that but I do think that people need to understand a song to love it.

X: Did you ever think about putting a few lines in Indonesian in the song?
A: No. I don’t it would have been relevant. I’m singing in French, as I’m representing France and I added a few words in English, the international language of nowadays.

X: Your song is called Echo (You and I). What is the message you want to carry out with the song?
A: That what’s really important is the love and the relationship between 2 human beings. Our consumerist quest for more things and our frenzy for social networking let us forget what’s really significant in our lives: being in love and sharing love. So the song says that whatever the distance, whatever happens, what’s important is that there is You and I. I think this is a song that relates to everyone.

X: You put some photos of the video clip shoot on Facebook and it seems to have a military theme. Why was that theme chosen?
A: The video is a bit crazy and people did not expect such a concept. It has a lot of second degree as it reverses the roles. Women are too often “used” as sensual objects in videos or advertising. This time I wanted to show men used as objects of desire. Let’s say there is some feminism in it :) I truly believe our society is aspiring towards a new feminism.

X: What can we expect from you in Baku, performance wise?
A: I want to surprise the audience. Just like the video has surprised many people. You’ll see. I’m working hard on ideas right now
:)
X: The last time France won the contest was in 1977. Will France win again, 35 years later?
A: It’s the voters of 41 countries who will decide this…

X: With which result would you be happy in Baku?
A: I don’t want to make any predictions. I just want to deliver the best performance possible and give the best of me.

X: Did you have a look at the competition you’re facing in Baku? If so, what is your favourite of the other entries?
A: I love many entries. Level is high this year. There are some very very very good songs. Would I surprise you If I’m telling you that I like Loreen? I really liked her performance at the Melodifestival.

X: Among fans, there has been a lot of speculation about why you haven’t performed your song live yet (on television). Could you tell us why you haven’t done that so far?
A: I know this is something that has sparkled lots of controversy. I can see that on twitter :) Well, I have performed my song live already for a French TV show that has not yet been broadcast. I always want to perform live. I hate performing full playback. But you have to understand something.  I usually arrive in the country I’m visiting a few hours before the TV show actually starts airing. Sometimes I cannot even do a “camera rehearsals” so the TV producer does not have a single clue of how I will handle my stage performance. My schedule has been quite hectic and I don’t have a body double yet. So when you don’t have time to rehearse properly, you play it safe and perform full playback, even though as a singer I always prefer live vocals.

X: You are doing a big promotional tour around Europe. Did you discover new places you want to go back to or do you expect to discover new places?
A: I’ve visited great cities. For example Ljubljana is a beautiful city. And I have met great artists too. Like Varga Viktor from Hungary. Claudia Faniello from Malta. Or KEO from Romania. I have received an amazing welcome in Sofia (Bulgaria), in Kiev (Ukraine), in Vilnius (Lithunania) or in Athens (Greece). I had great moments visiting all these countries.

X: Are you a Eurovision fan? Do you watch it every year?
A: I’m a huge fan of Eurovision. When I arrived in Europe 15 years ago, I immediately fell in love with the concept! I watch it every year of course!

X: What is your favourite Eurovision entry ever?
A: I don’t have a favourite entry ever. So many great songs and performers have shined over the last few years. Sertab, Dana International, Patricia Kaas, Ell & Nikki, and… Lordi also!

X: Do you have a message for our readers?
A: Thanks for all your support. I’m so happy to be part of this exciting Eurovision adventure. Thanks for all your positive messages. Let’s rock the stage in Baku in a few weeks.

ANGGUN & VARGA VIKTOR Visszhang (You and I)



ANGGUN & VARGA VIKTOR
Visszhang (You and I) / Official Video Lyrics
Exclusive for Hungary

Saya dan Anggun Part 1


Why I Love Anggun ? Why you Love Anggun ?
Itu tuh pertanyaan yg sering banget terucap dari mulut temen-temen gue. Okelah yaw, berhubung banyak banget yg pengen tau (eits, ke PDan yah.... ehehhehe, maksud nya saya nih yg mau kasih tau). Monggo :)

Nah, inilah cerita Saya dan Anggun Part 1. Totet *potong pita sambil melewati karpet merah.

Awal nya begini nih, sebenernya gue udah tau Anggun itu semenjak gue kelas, hmmm berapa yah? Semenjak video clip Saviour heboh di TV karena dicekal itu loh, kira-kira sekitar tahun 2005an lah yaw, berarti gue udah tau Anggun itu semenjak gue kelas 4 SD. Tapi dulumah gue ngak ngeh tuh sama berita itu, emang siapa sih Anggun ? (itu loh yg ada dalam otak gue dulu, tapi gue ngak mau nyari tau) ya maklum ajalah yah nama nya juga anak SD. Waktu itu mah gue tau nya Ungu, Peterpan, Ada Band, Ratu and etc lah....

Nah, semenjak itu  gue udah mulai tuh denger-denger beberapa lagunya Anggun di Radio. Lagu Anggun yg dulu sering banget kedengeran di radio itu adalah lagu Mimpi (New Version), sama Shine (TV Song) itu. Nah, klimaks nya waktu itu adalah semenjak lagu Jadi Milikmu (Crazy) muncul *eleh, muncul? Setan kali yeh* Maksud nya dirilis di pasaran.

Pada awalnya sih gue bukan nya seneng ngedengerin tuh lagu, malahan gue kesel banget gara-gara itu lagu ada di urutan ke1 di sebuah acara musik, kesel nya kenapa? Karena eh karena berjudi itu haram. Eh, salah ding, kalo itu mah Bang Rhoma. Kesel nya karena itu lagu ada di urutan 1 sedangkan Ungu (yg dulu adalah Group Band favorit saya) ada di urutan 2. Yah kesellah, siapa yg ngak kesel coba kalo begiotu cerita nya.

Tapi pas gue denger-denger lagi, eh ni lagu kayak nya bagus juga yah *plak!. Nah, mulai deh gue doyan ngedengerin itu lagu. Dari situ gue tertarik untuk beli album nya Anggun, padahal sumpah yah dulu gue ngak tau tuh siapa Anggun itu dan berapa harga CD nya. Akhir nya saya memutuskan untuk membongkar celengan saya yg isi nya berapa sih? Paling juga ada 50 rebu. Dan dengan rasa penasaran serta jantung yg berdetak dag-dig-dug uh lala ala lagu "Takut" pergilah saya ke Music Store yg ada di sebuah Mall yg jarak nya lumayan jauh dari rumah gue. And you know how much money that I bring? Yah, selamat Anda benar ... Saya hanya membawa uang 50 ribu rupiah, wkwkwkwkkwkw. (Ya maklumin aja lah yah, namanya juga waktu itu masih jadi anak SMP yg baru masuk).

Setelah sampai di sana, segeralah saya berlari dan bergegas menuju tempat yg saya tuju. Dengan rasa tidak putus asa saya terus berlari, dengan tidak jenuh nya saya terus berlari, tak perduli keringat bercucuran, tak perduli pada mata semua orang yg dengan tajam menatap waktu itu dikarenakan saya hanya memakai baju kaos + celana pendek beserta sendal jepit. Dan gue pun cukup merasa letih karena berlari, kalian tau berapa jarak yg saya tempuh hingga akhirnya saya bisa sampai juga? Jarak yg saya tempu adalah kira-kira sekitar 10 meter, wkwkwkkwkwkwk.

And you know what? Setelah sampai di tempat tujuan, gue langsung melototin etalase-etalase yg penuh dengan CD dan Kaset-kaset mulai dari penyanyi rock, pop, melayu, daerah, hingga dangdut ada. Tapi yg jadi masalah, kok ngak ada Anggun nya yah? Lalu saya menghampiri penjaga toko tersebut dan berkata
Gue : "Mbak, Cd Anggun ku mana???????????" (ala-ala iklan mie SED*P)
 Terus mbak-mbak itu bilang : "Sudah liyat-liyat saja sana, mungkin ada tuh".
Gue : "Ngak ada mbak"
Mbak-mbak : "Ada dek"
Gue : "Ngak ada mbak, ih ngeyel banget sih .... Gue tabok juga dah lo!"
Mbak-mbak : "Oke, !!!!!"
1 - 2 - 3 .................... Sebenernya bukan begitu sih, sebener nya begini. :p

Setelah samapi disana saya langsung deh liyat-liyat etalase, dan kayak nya emang ngak ada Anggun nya (Oh........ semua pembaca kecewa).
Mbak-mbak : "Cari apa dek?"
Gue : "Eh, anu mbak, saya cari Anggun"
Mbak-mbak : "Oh Anggun, sebentar yah" (dengan muka berseri-seri gue pun menunggu berita dari mbak penjaga toko tersebut, teng... teng, semenit kemudian) "Wah, Anggun nya lagi kosong dek"
Gue " Yah, jadi ngak ada yah mbak? Hmmmm...."
Mbak-mbak : "Yg ini aja dek, Anggun juga kok" (sembari menyodorkan VCD bajakan yg cover nya emang ada Anggun nya, tapi gue kan mau nyari yg original kalo mau yg bajakan mah di pasar deket rumah gue juga ada kali).
Gue : "Ah, ngak usah mbak. Saya mau nya yg aseli"
Mbak-mbak : "Loh, yg ini aja dek cuma 5ribu kok, lagian yg aseli itu mahal bisa sampe 75ribuan, apalagi Anggun, Anggunkan udah di Barat" (what? emang di barat mananya mbak? Baratkan luas ... hmmm, pembajakan emang sudah meraja rela).
Gue : "Ah? 75ribu mbak?"

Dengan muka terkaget-kaget sayapun berpikir begini "What 75ribu? Dapet dari mana coba gue uang segitu?". Akhirnya iman saya tergoyahkan oleh setan bermuka cantik itu, alias si mbak-mbak penjaga tokoh itu tadi, akhirnya dengan sangat terpakasa saya membeli VCD bajakan tersebut (maapkan saya mbak Anggun). Tapi gue ngak mau nyerah sebelum dapetin apa yg gue mau, yaitu CD original nya Anggun itu. Akhirnya gue melanjutkan pertualangan gue.

Mau tau pertualangan gue selanjutnya untuk mendapatkan cinta nya mbak Anggun ? Eh, maksud nya pertualangan gue untuk mendapatkan CD original Anggun tersebut? Nantikan di "Saya dan Anggun Part 2". Capek bow ngetik nya, jadi lanjut besok yah, jangan kangen yah. *Plak, berasa artis :p.

Thank's. :)

Anggun Wakili Prancis di Kompetisi Nyanyi Eropa

[PARIS] Setelah tampil mempesona lewat konsernya di Indonesia, November 2011 lalu, tahun ini Anggun kembali membuat gebrakan baru. Penyanyi berdarah Indonesia yang kini resmi menjadi warga negara Prancis, akan tampil dalam Eurovision Song Contest 2012, di Baku, Azerbaijan.

Sebagai penyanyi yang sudah malang-melintang di industri musik dunia, Anggun dipercaya oleh warga dan pemerintah Prancis, untuk maju dalam kontes Eurovision, yang sudah berlangsung untuk ke-57 kalinya. Nantinya, Anggun akan bersaing dengan penyanyi dan pencipta lagu dari 40 negara di Eropa.

Terpilihnya Anggun sebagai duta Prancis, tentu saja sebuah kebanggaan sekaligus tanggungjawab yang besar. Prestasi Anggun yang sudah dikenal luas, di daratan Eropa, lewat album Snow On The Sahara, menjadi latar belakang pemerintah Prancis memilih Anggun. Maklum saja, album yang dirilis di 33 negara ini tercatat sebagai album terlaris. Bahkan lewat album Snow On The Sahara, penyanyi berkulit sawo matang ini mendapat nominasi penghargaan "Victories de la Musique", oleh French Music Awards.

Eurovision Song Contest adalah ajang kompetisi musik, paling  bergengsi di Eropa. Setiap tahunnya, lebih dari 40 negara di Eropa, mengirimkan wakilnya untuk berlaga di kontes. Sebut saja negara Belgia, Italia, Bulgaria, Denmark, Prancis, Swedia, Serbia, Canada, Jerman, dan Inggris yang tidak pernah absen mengirimkan penyanyi ke ajang Eurovision. Lewat ajang bergensi ini juga, penyanyi seperti Celine Dion dan ABBA tercetak.

"Rasanya aku bangga sekali, dipercaya mewakili Prancis. Namun di lain pihak, aku juga merasa tidak nyaman, karena setiap kali keluar rumah, mata semua orang memandang penuh harap padaku. Mata mereka seolah-olah berbicara bahwa aku harus menang di kompetisi Eurovision," papar Anggun dalam wawancara via skype, bersama SP, di Jakarta, akhir pekan lalu.

Dalam kontes ini, Anggun akan menyanyikan lagu berjudul Echo (You And I). Lagu yang dinyanyikan dalam dua versi, yakni Prancis dan Inggris, diproduseri oleh musisi kenamaan Prancis, William Rousseau dan Jean Pierre Pilot. Untuk lagu ini, Anggun juga terlibat dalam penulisan lirik. Sementara mix engineernya dipercayakan kepada Veronica Ferraro, musisi yang kerap berkolaborasi dengan David Guetta. Lagu Echo yang akan dibawakan mendatang, akan kental dengan komposisi musik yang catchy, modern, dengan elemen musik rock up beat tempo.

Harapan Anggun, lewat ajang ini, ia bisa membuat Prancis bangga. Telebih lagi, gelar kemenangan dalam ajang Eurovision yang diterakhir diterima Prancis adalah tahun 1977.

"Aku akan menjadi diriku sendiri. Biasanya dengan menjadi diri sendiri dan tampil apa adanya, gelar kemenangan justru bisa diraih. Jadi sekarang aku mohon, semua masyarakat Prancis dan Indonesia menyumpahi aku agar menang," tambah pelantun tembang Tua -Tua Keladi.

Selain Anggun, beberapa peserta Eurovision juga pasti tengah deg-degan menunggu hari H. Pesaing berat yang kini sudah masuk dalam jajaran finalis, bersama dengan Anggun, adalah Pastora Soler yang mewakili negara Spanyol. Tidak hanya negara Spanyol, wakil dari Jerman juga menjadi kandidat kuat dalam memperebutkan tahta kemenangan.

"Buat aku menang atau kalah itu urusan Tuhan. Aku lebih memandang ajang ini sebagai tempat pertemuan kami para musisi. Di ajang bergengsi ini, aku bisa mengenal orang-orang baru dan belajar banyak hal dari mereka. Bila nanti aku membawa pulang kemenangan, itu adalah sebuah hadiah dari Yang Maha Kuasa," paparnya.

Terkait dengan karier Anggun di dunia musik, sudah terlalu banyak prestasi yang ia torehkan. Di Italia, album Anggun sukses meraih double platinum. Sementara di Amerika Serikat, ia masuk dalam The Billboard Heat Seekers Album Charts Top 20. Di Prancis, Anggun baru saja mendapatkan penghargaan Diamond Export Award di MIDEM, atas prestasinya sebagai artis yang paling banyak mengekspor album ke luar negara Prancis.
