The Armenian entry is called "Walking out" and it will be performed by Srbuk:

Look at Armenia coming with one of the most modern songs in this years line up! Love her look, love her voice and the song is solid!

Armenia 2018: Sevak Khanagyan

Here is the song that will represent Armenia in Lisboa: Qami by Sevak Khanagyan

Love the song and the fact that it is in Armenian but I hope they prepare a better performance for ESC. Go Armenia!

Eurovision 2017 - Semifinal 1: The Results

Hello Europe! Here are my comments about the results from the 1st Semifinal:

Let's start with a shout out to one of the countries that didnt qualify:

Finland: Norma John - Blackbird

I dont get how this brilliant act didnt qualify, Leena & Lasse did a beautiful job on stage and they will be missed on saturday. 

10. Greece: Demy - This is love

She is beautiful but this is not love but just a mediocre entry, she deserved so much better than a 2006 Cascada wannabe song.

09. Australia: Isaiah - Dont come easy

I like Isaiah but last night wasnt his night and I dont get how this qualified.

08. Poland: Kasia Mós - Flashlight

Im not a fan of this song but I liked Kasia's performance.

07. Moldova: Sunstroke project - Hey mamma!

Fun performance!

06. Sweden: Robin Bengtsson - I cant go on

I still think this whole act is too stiff.

05. Belgium: Blanche - City lights

Love the song and Blanche, but I would have liked a better staging though.

04. Armenia

Lovely staging and she is a great singer but I still dont love the song.

03. Cyprus: Hovig - Gravity

Pretty nice performance.

02. Azerbaijan: DiHaj - Skeletons

I loved every single thing about this performance! BAD BOY! Go DiHaj! 

01. Portugal: Salvador Sobral - Amar pelos dois

One word: WINNER!
This was just magical and I really hope this song made you all feel the same things I felt during those 3 minutes he was on stage. GO PORTUGAL! GO SALVADOR!

Armenia 2017: Artsvik

Here is the Armenian entry: Fly with me by Artsvik

Im not sure how I feel about this entry, it has some good parts but it never explodes. Maybe I'll like it more on stage. Good luck Armenia.

Armenia 2016: Iveta Mukuchyan

Here is the Armenian entry for Eurovision 2016: LoveWave by Iveta Mukuchyan

If I had to describe this song with 1 word, it would probably be: Pretentious. I just heard it for the 2nd time and I have to say that I dont dislike it as much as I did before but it still sounds like an unfinished product to me. I also dont find this genuine, I think this is their approach to what Aminata/Loic did last year but sadly this is too calculated to get the impact they got last year. Maybe the live performance will make me like this entry a bit more but right now Im not team Armenia.

Last year Armenia was one of my favorites but this year they decided to send a message instead of a good song.

6 interesting artists together to sing a very pretentious song in 3 minutes! To be honest I dont hate the song but I just dont get it! The live performance in Eurovision will be amazing or a big mess!

Junior Eurovision 2014: Congratulations Italy!

Italy was one of my Top 3 favorites so Im very happy with the results!
