Aram, Iveta and Artsvik were the cherries on the top of the cake for me
All top 5 in their respective years perhaps, and I was maybe too hyped about «Fly With Me» at one point, thinking that it could medal at least

My favourite moment is when Armenia receives 12 points from Austria in 2014. Killed by kindness.

Iveta and Eva, as different as their entries were, dominated the decade for Armenia in my book. No wonder they ranked top 7 in the grand final. I voted for Iveta, who has an edge musically and visually for me. Everything about her package was perfect and impactful.

I also really liked Aram MP3 and Artsvik. Srbuk's effort was decent too, but it could have been better.

The rest didn't light my fire. I wasn't expecting to be so in tune with the team ranking.

«Fly With Me» was a gem but I think that perhaps something more should’ve happened during the performance, especially during the «fly with me high oh high» parts
but I like the staging :D wished they’d mix it up perhaps a bit though but hey

Tumblr, mostly.
Eh. Iveta is easily the best, Aram is easily the second best. Two very brave, innovative avant garde entries.

"Apricot stone" and "Fly with me" are good. The rest... Srbuk was a massive disappointment, "Qami" was a snore, Genealogy were a disaster (xheart?), Emmy's voice reminds me of the sound geese make when they're being fattened for their foix gras and the fewer things said about "Homely Blahnet", the better.

It's not their best decade and hopefulyl they get it together.

For me, Armenia's main issue is that the songs have been underwhelming since 2011 and forward, 2007-2010 (in particular 2008-2010) remain the "golden years" for Armenia in ESC according to me. Artsvik had a decent entry, but something was missing, as far as a song goes Iveta's wasn't actually good imo, however she is a great performer with a striking look and the show was efficient and distracting enough to put focus away from the mediocre entry so I wasn't surprised it went pretty well in the end, now if Iveta would come back with an actual good song then Armenia could even be onto their first victory potentially but whoever chooses the songs for Armenia in the past decade clearly doesn't have very good taste or mediocre at best, like 2019, very mediocre song. So Armenia's problem is not necessary the chosen artists, rather the chosen entries because some of the acts that have been chosen are technically more talented than some from the "golden years", but the songs have been really meh.

To me, «LoveWave» was a «banger» really xmusic
Staging was really amazing so thanks for that one, Sacha!

Can Armenia involve the composers who were involved with "Not Alone", "LoveWave" and "Fly With Me" for 2020, please? :D

However, said it before, but Armenia never does well with us. I mean, we ranked "LoveWave" bottom five and the juries ranked it last. Like last. Dead last.

Songs, performances, and artists like "LoveWave" and "Love Injected" by Iveta and Aminata is what this contest needs more off xlove

Oh I needed love wave definitely: one has to go to grab another beer at some point.:lol:

No offense - I respect different tastes in music. I just found it atrocious in every aspect. I kinda liked „love injected“ though. wasn‘t my favorite, but I found it ok.
