Sorry to break it to you, but a great personality isn't worth much if you don't have a song to back it up with.
Emmy - Boom Boom (Armenia 2011)
Rather like Croatia, it seems the Armenians too are painfully aware of how little of song they have to offer.
There is a hook, admittedly. A hook that will stick in your mind and haunt you. A hook as pleasant as having a wasp stuck inside your head. But a hook is a hook is a hook and should never be underestimated.
Sometimes you can take a weak song and add a fantastic show and the result will be breathtaking. Sometimes a good act will just underline how weak your song is.
Poor little Emmy can't do much about it, and her slipping and sliding on a number of notes does the package no favours either.
But there is one very positive point proven by all this: when Armenia sends in a bad song, they are left in the semis. Just like everyone else.
So now we can drop the talk that they are always guaranteed a spot in the final, regardless of what they enter.
A very good thing for Armenia, in the long run.
My grade: 1 / 5
Fantastic - glad that it got dumped by Europe - it was rubbish. For the record - the performance was decent and lively.
