New Wave 2004

This is the first photo gallery on “New Wave 2004”, the international song contest for young singers, which took place from July 28 to August 1, 2004 in Jurmala, Latvia.

These photos were taken during the July 19th drawing, on the lawn next to the hotel “Baltija”, where the competitors stayed.

As part of the competition, each participant had to hit a vase with a number using a paintball gun.

Тina Q (Uzbekistan) took part in the previous New Wave contest as a member of the band “Аъло”. Now she has come to conquer the hearts of jury solo

Tina’s standing position did not work out...

…and she needed additional support

The singer from the band "Hayer" (Armenia) Emmi – used the war strategy of crawling closer to the target

"Imagine you are lying on grass when suddenly a passer-by bends down, and your wallet runs away"

Members of the band "Hayer" (in Armenian it means simply “Armenians”) also took part in last year’s contest, except then Emmi competed alone while the others provided the background vocals

SHAY (Israel) confessed he was losing his head over Latvian girls, and the following days showed that Latvian girls were also losing their heads over SHAY.

SHAY tries out a taste of the drawing

For the girls, here is one more SHAY photo— a close-up version! :)

Lana Shvilpe represented Lithuania in the competition, though she lives in Riga, Latvia

Here’s the vase

Lana with a flower

The drawing is over and everybody’s happy :)

Zlata displays a winsome smile

In the first shot SHAY missed the target , which resulted in a serious talk with his producer who told him that Israel can’t lose
