Well I am underwhelmed! It starts off promising and you expect it to explode into a banger and it just, never does. A shame because I like the ethnic sounds they were going for.

That's so annoying. If it had a LoveWave type explosion in the last thirty seconds then it would have been really good but as is it just falls a bit flat.

It has hints of getting better but yeah that's underwhelming. They've done that sound way better before.

Yeah the final thirty seconds are still the best, but I was wanting something a little more, not worth the wait.

Oh...that's not amazing like I hoped.
Damn...unless anything substantially grows on me this is my first year since 2005 without an 11/10 song in the lineup  lots of 9/10s and some nice consistent quality but I can't see any of this year's entries ending up in my end of year top ten as yet...

I'm surprised everyone is so negative about this, because I think it climaxes greatly while executing the early subtlety perfectly. It also brings much needed musical diversity to this year so all in all I'm very happy with it. Armenia continue to be essential.

I'm with Umi here, very pleasantly surprised by the variety offered here. Artsvik sung run-of-the-mill ballads week in week out on the 3 month artist selection show so I wasn't expecting any different here, but they've brought a nice slice of ethno-pop that doesn't rely on being in your face. I read elsewhere that it is a "compelling" watch/listen and that's totally the correct description. Solid qualifier, mid-table in the final I imagine with potential to be higher on the assumption they have a stageshow already carefully planned out like with LoveWave.

I actually have this down as a borderline qualifier. I can't see televoters flocking to it at all (unless of course the staging is spectacular, not impossible with Armenia) so if it's going through I'd imagine it to be a jury save.

I don't think it'll struggle to qualify that much. It's not the most diaspora-heavy semi for Armenia ever but it's got Georgia, Greece and Spain and probably more semi-relevant countries aside from those. Second half of the semi, they're obviously going to do a standout performance because it's an obviously trying Armenia, and it has a niche all to itself so... I don't see how this misses out to be honest.

Aye, I think this is a comfortable enough qualifier but it's not going to set the scoreboard on fire come the final and will probably end up getting about the same placing as 'Face The Shadow'

They were all great, as were Switzerland, but just saying that none were 11/10 quality for me. I'm not saying something won't potentially grow into an 11/10 after seeing the live performances though. But based solely on studio versions there's no singular song that I'm compelled to hammer over and over again this year yet, and it's rare that I don't have even one of those. |

So in the arena this was absolutely immense, the main bassline loudly rumbling, the flame jets blasting us with warmth and Artsvik's voice soaring throughout. Technically this was mixed perfectly, better than Italy and Belgium's entries which didn't quite have as much of a kick live. I had this in my top 5 with Portugal, Belgium, Italy and Sweden.
It does lose a little something when watching at home, but this is still the most unfair lowest place of the competition for me, if not quite as shocking as Barei last year. Armenia seriously deserve a win at some point and if their quality remains this good we'll hopefully see a Yerevan Eurovision one day! |
