This is more on the level of Shardinay - Oh Boy than Cardi B. But hey, it took me some time to appreciate that bop, so... yeah...

Vladimir received 3,334 votes whilst Athena got 662.

Seriously, I think that juries should be banned from national finals. What's the point of being represented by someone the people didn't vote for?
If you wanna have juries deciding on your entry (as a broadcaster), just do an internal selection.

Even though Athena has more star power and is probably the better option for Armenia, I think that the thought of sending something as a representative who didn't even manage to attract 1/5 of the votes the televoting winner is ridiculous.

"On A Sunday" was also my clear favourite in Romania last year but it's crazy to see a #8 rank in the Televoting flying the flag for a country which basically didn't want to see you on screen for another time xD

Given the tiny amount of votes this selection procedure is absolutely fine really.

I'm only afraid they are under huge preasure, theie public TV because of all, bad nf, no local flavor in any act, only english songs..they will have to add duduk and other folk instruments in the revamp and will ruin it and it's chances with that.. :(

Tumblr, mostly.
Upgrading to 8 points now. This is too hip and happening. I'm getting addicted. We're sleeping on Armenia's answer to Cardi B here. Let's wake up. The hook is so infectious. It won't leave my head.

There is more to come from this entry.Its got a hook straight from the part of the souk you only get to go to when you know the right people.Its dirty.The mix etc is terrible at the moment and the vocal isnt right.The melody needs fleshing out a bit and probably backing vocals to give more depth.Id expect 3 dancers at ESC to make that happen.Athena is one of those artists that can sing but isnt using it here.She needs back up to help her put more oomph in it.This might do very well,or flop.Lots of work for the delegation,but they have something to work with,most entries so far dont.

I'm so conflicted about this entry. It's totally not my bag at all, but for some reason every time it comes on my Spotify playlist I find myself grooving hard to it. It's annoying yet appealing catchy in equal measure. So irritated with myself haha :lol:

everyone on youtube is like "so excited for the revamp!"... are there actual news or is this all just wishful thinking that armenia would borrow the long unused Ukrainian Revamp Machine that performed miracles year in year out back in the day?

From my understanding Athena said on social media (on an Instagram story or summat) that the song would be revamped. But, ig, it would just be hearsay
