Re: ARMENIA 2015 - Genealogy - Don't Deny

Don't deny what? What exactly are they trying to say?

"Happiness is born when people are united and live in harmony with themselves, their families, love relationships and so on. Generations are shifting with time but the genealogy remains, thus the values of love and peace are stable."

Does this make sense to anyone? Seems kinda patriotic/conservative? I don't know. The song is just boring. 2 points.

Is there anything bad or incorrect about being patriotic?

Well, yes indeed there is. However, this is not a place to discuss the issue.

Regardless of that the song is dreadful and the voices do not match together at all and make my ears hurt.

Ok, I know it's not the place. But anyway, the message is not so visible.

I can't deny this song is an absolute nightmare. It's even worse than Finland and Moldova.

It sounds like a train crash.

Hum... I kind of like this song when I listen to it watching the video, but I'm failing to imagine myself liking it on stage. It looks more like 6 people singing at the same time instead of 6 people singing together. I wish they could be more harmonious.

Yes, because patriotism is narrowing people's minds. It's a sweet poison.

So many awful songs this year and you hate so much on this one? maybe it's just me but I was expecting nothing good from 6 different people put together and it was overall a positive surprise

Re: ARMENIA 2015 - Genealogy - Don't Deny

This is hilarious. I don't know what to think really. The first guy immediately gets the song off to a dreadful start with his dodgy English. The other artists pick it up as best as they can, but the song isn't particularly exciting for the first couple of minutes. Suddenly it starts to explode. From 2:18 onwards, what the heck!? Awesome. So ridiculously over the top. I think this is the type of song I can easily enjoy in the context of Eurovision. If only it was 3 minutes of epicness. It's got a dreadful start to it and doesn't flow well at all. It's all about reaching that 2 minute mark for me.

I'll give..... Mmmmm a generous 7 points for now.

The song didn't start interesting, fell my expectation, BUT it has some good parts. 4 points for now. Have to say though, the video was the best part of all. Cheers!

Re: ARMENIA 2015 - Genealogy - Don't Deny

I was expecting much worse. I was afraid it would all be a big nauseating cliche...
So I am definitely positively surprised! The beginning is not good. If this is the guys recorded english and vocals I fear for his live performance. I really like some parts of the song. All in all in the upper half for me.

Re: ARMENIA 2015 - Genealogy - Don't Deny

Ah ah everything for this... what a joke entry... Super boring song for a super boring topic. I gave zero and I hope it won't qualify.
But as all diaspora will vote for this it will finish good in the end.

Re: ARMENIA 2015 - Genealogy - Don't Deny

It's like they were trying too hard, but missed the plot completely. It's too much of a mish-mash of different styles, genres and voices. In the end it just leaves me confused. It's not all bad, it's just too much of everything. I'll give it 5 points.

Re: ARMENIA 2015 - Genealogy - Don't Deny

So, what to say about this song.... difficult.
First thing that struck me: the very beautiful and smooth voice of the first singer and the rather elaborated, thus sharp voice of the second one do not match so well. Right in the beginning of the song, that was perhaps not a good choice (because both of them sing great, so if they had been placed differently, that would have made a better impression). This drew my attention to the point, that there are only two male voices, I had perhaps preferred a more balanced proportion of male/female voices.

Musically, it's an interesting ballad, because it changes often in terms of sound, tempo, instrumentation. Well done! This will help to stand out between all the ballads.

I hadn't have the time yet to look at the lyrics closely, but it seems to me that you can read them in a very broad way, leaving more than just one specific interpretation. So the fears of a political statement that would collide with EBU rules seem to me rather without foundation. Which does not mean, that the armenian cause is not present here. But it's done in a quite unobtrusive way in my opinion.

All in all, a good, a strong entry. But similar to Latvia, it doesn't touch me. I see the musical quality, I see the artistic quality of the singers, but at the same time one feels, that they are assembled for this project that did not genuinely grow but was somewhat arranged.

Maybe a grower, I have to give it time.....
