Emmy, Hayer and Hayko stand the best chance I think, I'm not sure about three members of Hayer doing selection though, they'd be better as the group. Jacklina Tumanyan is probably the best looking singer in the group! Good luck Armenia, I loved your entry last year, any chance of giving the UK any points??

well, lot of artists with different styles
i like to see meri voskanian or emmy this year in eurovision, they are both very nice.
Vo.X as far as i know they became nominees of the British Gospel Music Award as the best British group in “gospel” genre in UK so thier song should be rock or something like that.
plz i beg you,just not hyko.

To Owen and other friends:

Exciting time, with so many countries selecting...

@ Adam: "i am feeling so euro friendly this year i am happy whoever wins lol"
You have the right attitude!! ;) That's what this board (and ESC in general) needs! Of course we all have our favourites (and some non-favourites), but a little bit of positive attitude won't hurt anyone, on the contrary... (Can't help thinking that when reading some of the comments on these boards...)

Owen, it's not often we hear songs in Welsh or Gaelic in the UK selection... ;)

Some famous names in that line-up, including last year's rumoured participant Mari Voskanyan and lyricist Karan Kavaleryan. Let's hope [i]My Story[/i] wins in Armenia though and then in Georgia as well!

@Owen :

Anyway, I am interested to hear Angel and Anything you need.

Anyone would think there wasn't an Armenian language at all looking at the song titles!!!
I mean fair enough wanting to send an English song to the contest or performing an otherwise non-english song in English on the night but to have NO songs from your national language in the PRE-SELECTION is taking things a bit far, i think!
