Yeeeees dear mauve! This is fresh for ESC imo and I love the energy.

I love they chose their own songwriters and new fresh team for the entry..

This will fly high on my list!!!

btw I love Russia 2019, I listened today 2 times and it gave me goosebumps!

This year is GREAT!

A month ago, I was whining and now the spot at the sun of 12 pts is crowded. February and March are fantastic months!

Wow, not the kind of song I was expecting!

It reminds me of "Believer" by Imagine Dragons,

Yes exactly I LOVE it

3 disappointments today they need to invest on staging for this to qualify tbh

 

[DaFlo]

Gotta take a moment to praise the production of this song. Absolutely AMAZING. So rich.

This man right here: George Brainshaker

Music video as well one of the very best this year. All love for Armenia this year, gotta applaud the effort they put into this.

Oooooh hunty, here you are!

Wait I applauded to this comment?

No?? ooops...

I love the imagery of the way she is pushed out of the way at the start like she is invisible.We have a term in English "from pillar to post" and the scene really reflects that of her lover/lovers pushing her in all directions,and none healthy.The explosion of the refrain is a rush of emotion.Its hugely powerful.Im really worried for the staging though.If they dont get it right this will fail ,but if they do get it right it should fly.
This is probably my favourite entry of the year though so im sure emotions will be all over the place as we follow its ballad slaying journey.

The instrumental of the song kinda reminds me of something that could be out of a James Bond movie. I love it! 12 points

A lot more typical modern pop sound than i expected, and i'm really not taken by it at all. It's not just that i had unrealistic expectations on this entry, i just don't see it becoming one of my favorites, at all. Sorry, i think this could give one of their lower results, especially as it's similar to several other entries, and i just can't stand that tryhard-bitchy-Amy-Winehouse vocal style, which isn't her usual sound.

 

[wtf]

Well, if she nails it live, I can see it winning even.

 

[Ana Raquel]

yeah, i overhyped.

expected better, but good enough for getting a 8 from me.

 

[Peresvet]

8 p for Srbuk from Srbukistan

 

[Sammy]

I'm not impressed - sounds as if I had heard this a hundred times before....

 

[theCONWEL]

This is a bit of a let down tbh, I expected a lot more from her :| It's nice enough but could've easily been a lot better.

The most similar to her entry this year is actually Italy with "Soldi"..it is quite unique this year..

 

[armenie]

this song is beautiful and powerful !

she will make a very good score at the juries

12 !

THE GOOD:
-Her high notes are good, as well as her vocals.
-Overall, it's a bit of a toe-tapper.

THE BAD:
-The beginning is mostly repetitive.
-The music change towards the end was a bit jarring.

THE VERDICT:
Other than what I've said above, nothing really needs to be said. 8 points

You're no more a king 'cause I was your crown

 

[njdevils94]

This exceded my expectations

Into my top 10 you go Hayastan.

I find this entry quite impressive, and despite it being polished to the heavens, it's also interesting. It's got some really nice pay off too with the shocking (I really didn't see it coming) key change which leads to a really spectacular final chorus. The accent for me is a bit of a challenge. The more wordier and edgy you get with your song, the stronger the importance of nailing every word. If you don't, things can get annoying in a Sebalter-esque jumble of words kind of way. Walking Out treads dangerously close there but it gets away with it... just. It's gonna take me a little bit of time to get used to the vocals but otherwise this is great. Armenia will slay this year.
