Yes Athena must win This is amazing banger hit. I love it. i think this will be definitely rock the ESC.
No need to talk about the other entrys.

What is this Agop + song combination? He looked like the man from his picture and after listening to some of his other songs he was who I was looking forward to here (Try SOGH, it's wonderful). Was hoping he'd have something a bit Tame Impala-esque but this sounds like a Taylor Swift demo or something. Bless it.

I "slightly" prefer my Butterflies from Belarus in 2010!

 

[RainyWoods]

Found my jam.

My lips are fine cause I can fly high
My lips are mine cause I'm not sad
My lips are coooool cause I'm NO FOOL
My lips are bright cause I can love, angel love

 

[Mrm]

Okay those lyrics are a serious threat..

 

[RainyWoods]

Okay those lyrics are a serious threat..

Her lips are her own and they mean business.

The title "Life faces" is AMAZING!

 

[Alaska49]

oh this was middling. doesn't fit my freaky friday narrative but then again it never could because armenia the country is usually great but depa evratesil the NF is usually crap lol. but did it dunk eesti laul, alaska? yes it did, of course.

tokionine - save me
ERNA - life faces
vladimir arzumanyan - what's going on mama (deceased @ the conceptual continuity on this one. if only the song was a bit better because i stan that so hard)
arthur aleq - heaven
karina evn - why?
athena manoukian - chains on you
agop - butterflies
gabriel jeeg - it's your turn
eva rida - no love
miriam bahgdassarian - run away
music hayk - what it is to be in love
sergey and nickolay arutyunov - ha take a step

tokionine is the only one i can say with any confidence i can see qualifying in eurovision but if armenia has its staging chops back then there are other nominees. also i don't see athena winning EVER but she is fine i guess.

Songs are out?

yes...

 

[Ana Raquel]

ARMENIA I BET ON YOUR VICTORY YOU ARE CRUEL

 

[Citelis]

Sorry Armenia but most of them are awful! I think that ERNA Tamazyan - Life Faces is the best i heard.

 

[randajad]

Are these demos? So bad
Save Me is my favourite for now. Chains On You is interesting as well.

 

[opinionsigotem]

I'm angry that I wasted 36 minutes of my life (although given the slog of getting through some of these songs it felt more like 2 hours) listening to the songs of Armenia. I'm playing a dangerous game by disagreeing with @Alaska49 but this is, in fact, WORSE THAN EESTI LAUL.

Miriam will get them another BLISTERING 14th place in the semi when it turns out she's the only one who can carry a tune in that god-awful Depi Evratesil studio (she's my second-last place as well so I am not thrilled by the prospect). Gun to head, ERNA was my favourite. Chains On You has some interesting ideas but it never bloody ends. The rest are unremarkable at best and life-endingly hideous at worst.

 

[mauve]

Uha. Complete WEAK section. I only like ONE song: Ha, take a step. The rest I can forget.

 

[RainyWoods]

Gun to head, ERNA was my favourite.

All hail Erna's Life Faces

Miriam will impress the juries if she gets picked. Have you seen any other performances on LaVoix (French-Canadian) version of the voice.

Tokionine stands out the most for me on first listen. I feel like a lot of those songs are the kind that can grow on you - which isn't necessarily good at Eurovision of course.
