03:50This, what you're seeing now, we're shooting for Delir Mehnli.
04:20I think it's some album on reason to smile and all, something about happiness and other things.
04:28It's a very feel-good sort of song. It's a very happy song. It comes through the music.
04:33It comes through the way we've choreographed the dances, or rather the way our choreographers have done it.
04:38So I think when that comes together as a package and an audience watches the video,
04:42I think hopefully if everything works right, they will be smiling. At least they'll feel proud of having watched it.
04:50Excuse me. Please, excuse me.

05:03He has a lot of energy. And he's a very good entertainer basically.
