I don't know why my comment was deleted. I made really nice but valuable comment regarding Armenian entry which showed care, attention love and honesty. The person who deleted does not seem to be taking into consideration the valuable work but ignoring the reality. Sad.
Damn... I have plans I can't get out of that night... Does anyone know what sort of time the performers will start to sing? If I get there around 11:00 I wonder if most of this year's songs will have been done already... does anyone know?

well done to the organisers. This event is now very impressive. I have my tickets!
Great! I hope we'll be able to see her performing there. Great promotion for Sirusho this year!
Good Luck,Sirusho 
Morena to rock Scala and all Londoners present!!!! GL to all performing artists!! Na Zdarovye!!!!
She has a beatiful song...Will surely vote for it.....Good luck Armenia...Hop a NICE song wil win...Kisses from Turkey...
austin the scala often has bands playing, they have their own staff that can turn a stage around in minutes so they will easily be able to cope
any more entrants and i I will get a tad worried that whoever will be able to handle the logistics of having more than 10 euro entrants on in the one night especially as they have never done this before ..
you're so lucky to have parties like this 
It just keeps getting better. I can't wait! This time next week I'll be on my train to London!
Whooo! This is just unbelievable! All the best songs right here in London! Can't wait for this! See you all there!
It's looking a bit like an eastern European convention already isn't it? I'm hoping there will be a few more surprise performers from the rest of the continent.
Good luck Sirusho, & Armenia from Malta!

I kind of aggry with you about repeting the Qele-qele. Some times it is annoing. But in the other hand it becomes annoing after listening to the song for many times. i think during the show for people who will listen to it for first time it won't be that eretiong. I do not think many people are listening ESC song in sdvance. It is just us the ESC fan "friks" ) :
I hope she will come to Sweden too, (but I don't think so....). I am really surprised that she is going to UK. I do not recall any points from UK to Armenia so far (at list in final). This means they try to show that they care for all Europe, regardless they expect points from that country or not. Very Good............
I would like to go to party. It seams that will be one of the best nights of this season, almost like the nights at the euroclub during the Eurovision Weeks. Well done UK!!!
She looks drop dead gorgeous in that pic!
Is it me? That the preview party is becomming a mini ESC?
Welcome to London!!!
