Armenia ARMENIA 2016 - Iveta Mukuchyan - LoveWave

[Mrm]

Her accent is terrible and the song is quite messy

THAT'S IT!!

Since I heard it something bugged me, but i couldn't figure it out!

Pity, cause I love the song as song, it's very original and fresh, and Armenian ethno music part is simply GREAT!

Live performance will be pivotal, not only vocals, but staging as well..

Let's give it 10 in the poll!

 

[Gera11]

Wow, it's definitely something...interesting. It's more than I expected, at least. 10 points ^^

 

[Mii11]

I'm a bit disappointed. I expected something uptempo. This song is indeed intriguing but it is definitely not a winner.

 

[Terence]

I don't know if I like the song or not! Parts of it I LOVE (the traditional influences) but it gets so weird in other parts.
Certainly a step up from last year's mess though.

 

[CPV4931]

Interesting, but not my cup of tea and quite hard to remember. Maybe I expected too much (great uptempo-song) from Armenia this year.

 

[realist]

I want qele qele style back...

THE GOOD:

-At least she's thinking about the performance of this song come May.

THE BAD:

-There's not much going on in the studio version of the song.
-For what I did hear of the studio version, it wasn't memorable.

THE VERDICT:

I'll wait and see about the performance of the song in May, because I did not get this song at all. Who knows, the performance of the song might blow me away. Yet again, it might not. Either way, I don't know about this song's chances in its own semifinal, much less the Final if it even makes that. 5 points

I can just copy my comment of last year's 2015 song and summarize it in two words..............Incoherent Mess

 

[escandesc]

I was thinking no one could beat Loreen's murmuring but it turns out that Iveta can beat Loreen in that. I definitely can't catch the lyrics. I kinda like how the song sounds though. At least it's not another cliche Eurovision song.

 

[megzpegz]

After listening to it a few times I actually quite like it, its sure a lot better than armenia last year and I also like her voice. Its definitely in my top 10 for now.

 

[blein]

It's original and I like the duduk (if that's what it is) but I think it's not very memorable at first listen. I have listened to it a few times and like it better now but I think for casual viewers that only listen to it once, it will drown in the middle of songs with a stronger hook. The success of this song will depend a lot on a memorable staging.
At least it's not boring. Other songs make me check the time when they aren't even have finished because they are so bad and repetitive. That's certainly not the case here.
I give it 7 points for now.

 

[Kairit]

The build-up part gives me a lot of anxiety, I can't deal with that in songs. And I literally can't make out anything what she's saying besides "lovewave". Anyways, I don't know... I appreciate being slightly experimental, but I'm not that sure about this. It's definetly not 'wow' in my opinion.

 

[RainyWoods]

Pretty good start to the song with the campy spoken word part and then you've got that menacing buildup to the first chorus. You're thinking "Woah, what the heck is coming!?" and then..... "WoooOOOoooooOOooooouuuu" This fad needs to die already. Overall the song is alright. Horrible chorus but it has enough there that's enjoyable. It could have been so much more though. There's the feeling there that they were trying to make it something special and edgy but for the most part the song just floats around in the middle of nowhere. Close but no cigar. Decent attempt though.

6 points.

 

[ESCada]

I couldn't give this more than 5 points, she is this gorgeous diva desperately trying to be original and edgy but It never really goes there.
They added all, the Adele beginning, the Sanna high notest, Hanna Pakarinen's rocky voice, Inga and Anoush's ethnic instrumental ...
It's a whole lot of stuff for 3 minutes. Feels very .......... forced.

 

[ZoboCamel]

It's a complex entry, and the more complex songs usually take some time to grow on me, but... even then, I'm just not feeling it. I mean, it's not a bad song - the production value is pretty high, it's certainly unique, and it's got a lot of interesting ideas - but it feels like they've kind of just been thrown together to make a hookless, formless, aimless mess. 5 points for now, though this is one that I think will live or die by its staging in May.

 

[yulichka]

I have this strong feeling the song was written for already existing staging. I just don't imagine it without the visual properties. But I like that it's different, I particularly like the beginning, and I like Armenia is not afraid to experiment. But it's not my cup of tea. Good luck, Armenia!
