Same, I'll wait to see the live performance before I judge but I don't find anything likeable for now in the studio version, especially in the verse as I her voice is not enjoyable to my ears.

This entry is so flat tbh (like the Earth lolol)

What did happen to you Armenia?

The country that gave me incredible bops in the late 00's & early 10's and "Fly With Me" that remains as one of my favorite entries of last decade...

That was a peculiar song.... curious to see the live performance, hopefully it doesn't have as much auto-tune :sick:

OMG, based on the comments, I expected some kind of trash a la "Me Tana" or "Wild".

But this is hot af! I'm shocked! :love:

The live performance could bury their chances if not done right, it's gonna be tricky for them to make it work, but the studio cut is FLY.

I can officially say I have a fave, welcome back in my top 10 Armenia :love: 12 points!

This is my fave of 3 chosen tonight, i have to say after I watched live performance that I’m quite satisfied, I expected poor vocals, but they really weren’t..I think the sound in that studio is not so good, it will sound even better.. it is quite fresh for ESC musically, trap is really popular, maybe more in the USA, but ok, in Europe can be too.. :)
Choreography can be better, I like the idea with chair..outfit can also be better, or maybe more suitable to this type of music..
It is 7/10 for me.. 7 in the poll

The live actually restored my faith a little. It certainly won't be in the better half of my ranking but it might grow on me depending on other entries.

I should prolly wait on the revamp to comment on this, but there really isn't much to this song, is there? I've heard much better trap before, though this song is better than most of the Depi Evratesil dirge this year. That said, there is potential in a revamp with better production, changed lyrics (or dare I hope a new song ddd). Anyway, there really isn't much to say about this which is a bummer cause I usually stan Armenia. Join the ranks of my 5s ig

So i guess with two non-final qualifications in a row, they decided being "proper" wasn't the thing for them and went all-out vulgar. Well the NF performance was..... interesting, but far from convincing. They're gonna have to improve a lot to get a left side placement!

So THIS won lol. The one time I listened to it in full I was like "when does it end?" which is never a good sign. It felt more like 5 minutes but without the substance to justify it. An uphill battle for qualification as Armenia's stock continues to plummet for me

This song is soo good I feel like I'm not worthy enough in Queen Athena's presence. This might be my favourite entry from Armenia since ever-unbeatable Sirusho's Qele Qele.

This comes across as very edgy and modern, but the chorus is totally off-putting for me. The rest - meh.... heard that kind of song so many times in the last year. But to be honest - there wasn't anything in the selection that I would have preferred, so... but I understand why people like it. I simply don't.

Oh, wow, look, at least one selection where my favourite actually won. Too bad it's the one where I care the least and it's only a :7: for now, but I gotta admit, she's super hot and seems very likeable as well judging by the interviews. My favourite of the 3 selected tonight.(y)
