She's cute and sings good. The song is not very impressive but maybe Armenia will choose something better for Belgrade. Good luck!

She has a good voice, the songs isn't great but then again Turkey did great with a song quite similar to it so you never know, anything can happen in ESC these days (except a western country doing well of course)

This song is terrible and doesn't repreresent her nowdays.
She is very talanted performer, singer, "actor" with a good voice comes from a musical family, her mother is a popular singer as well. She sings very difficult Armenian folk music as well. And she has very welcoming, "warm" personality which comes out in her songs. This is our best choice, I think...
To judge one must watch her new videos on YT, here she is a kid...

I don't know... Everything will depend on song, cause I think she is not that good... The voice is very typical...heard hundred times...

As I previously said on Boaz Mauda topic - it is nice to see talented artists on ESC.

I've heard of Sirusho from one my Armenian friend. It seems she is so popular in her country and I beleive Armenians will be proud of her entry :)

Great choice - hope for a strong ESC song though. Maybe she`ll be the new Helena ? We`ll see.

@ Devlish Angel - We`ll have to wait till the EBU publishes the provisorial list. They may wait till December I fear.

The dance routine leaves a lot to be desired for, and this all sounds a bit too close to confectionary MTV urban/r'n'b for comfort, but certainly impressive in this context nevertheless. Geddit?

A vast improvement on last year's Hayko and his ancient sounding French schlager. She's a lot cuter too.

@ Eurovision 2008
the 7 points that Armenia gave to the winner was the most Serbia received from ex-USSR, so why are you mad? :)

@Akis
The Pot Calling The Kettle Black..lol
yea we usually get some special votes but we are not the only country which get that kind of votes and dont forget that it is impossible to win just with that votes.

Well i have to say that Armenia will be the winner very soon......they get secure votes from ex-Soviet countries, plus the diaspora votes from many western countries, plus Greece, Cyprus, Turkey.......
they just need a song above average and Armenia will win.....
