Armenia ARMENIA 2016 - Iveta Mukuchyan - LoveWave

[SwissKung]

What a mess, I appreciate some parts of the song but her singing is weird and I don't understand her accent sometimes. I think it would have been more powerful in Armenian.

Also, too much make-up.

For me it is two, "Jan Jan" and "Not Alone". "Qele Qele" was really nice too, top 15ish sorta. I was so sure "Jan Jan" would fight Rybak for the win because of the happy musicvideo...but the all too mystic performance killed their chances...
Maybe they weren't ready to win back then.

Jan Jan was really nice... but 2009 was an extremely good year in my opinion, and therefor no top 10 that year.

I'll just hear it again and try to give a mark to this song...

I did the same thing

 

[GianlucaTomoe]

Amazing song!

 

[ParadiseES]

It's unique, but also quite messy. Not bad though. It can do well. 7 points, but please, get rid of that whispering in the first seconds

 

[Leydan]

I don't know what I think about this tbh. :? I feel rather let down by it after all the excitement. It's like they try to make it really big and impactful, but it sorta falls flat on it's face and becomes a mess. I don't like her voice at all in the video, I'll need more listens before I can judge.

 

[Uvaro]

I don't

This is a mess. The voice in the chorus is very pressed, as if its painful for her to sing. Too many elements put in one song, no clear hookline. I was rather relieved, when it finally was over....

to each their own. i'm just happy we finally have a really powerful song and not more cutesy pop.

 

[tsegaye]

I really don't know what to think, it made me speechless but not in a good way. It's so... Noisy. That's the only word that pops up in my brain for now.

 

[lavieenrose]

A very tentative 10 points so far. I agree with "style over substance," but the style is so cool that I have trouble caring too much that there isn't much underneath all the pretension.

 

[John1]

Well...
All this song just seems unfinished, it's too... overwhelmed when it comes to the soundtrack, not the voice of Iveta itself, but the soundtrack...
That's just not what I was expecting REALLY MUCH MORE from Armenia since the hype started to grow all around her.
I'm really disappointed from Armenia this year, I'll give it a .

 

[tsegaye]

Definetly no Yerevan 2017 though, I was really looking forward to go there hah (had my expectations way too high)

 

[EscGeek]

it's good,but i expected more...like something spectacular

 

[VikingTiger]

A bit disappointed... A really good effort. But something is lacking - or is it only her voice that I am definitely no big fan of?
Another 7, I think. For now at least.

 

[Schlagerman1]

This song is so weird. It is like a mixture of Micheal Jackson, Adele and some armenian folklore. It is very different and maybe not especially written for Eurovision....but I can imagine an amazing live preformance in Stockholm. I must say that I like it very much, it is really a stand out song. Good luck Armenia!

to each their own. i'm just happy we finally have a really powerful song and not more cutesy pop.

Ukraine - powerful song
Cyprus - powerful song (in a different way)
Bosnia - quite powerful
Hungary - powerful also
Spain - what a powerhouse that woman is!
Albania - power ballad

What about Latvia and its mysterious/mystical/powerful song?
What about Slovenia?

Love the beginning so much! First 40 secs was preparing for masterpiece, but then it turned into mess The song realy has great parts, but somehow combines them in a wrong way and doesnt leave a lasting impression. 8 from me

 

[hdplus]

I listened to it in the background while reading the comments here and I can't remember anything. I think this won't stand out much, cause we have many unusual songs this year [this isn't standing much out actually, but somehow it is, because it has not the typical pop-structure in it). Final? Yeah, but not Top 10 I think.
I'll listen to it again now.

I agree, the first 50 seconds are fantastic and promise so much but the chorus is a bit of a letdown. I still like it a lot though for sure.

I completely agree. The intro is really promising. But the rest does not live up to it. And then it just fades away and stops. Hmmm... Second listening didnt bring me any closer to this song. But again; Cool intro, I like the style. And there sure are very interesting elements here. But my 7 remains.
