Armenia organized the national final Depi Evratesil again after few years but I must wonder why? The show for sounded a Moldovan auditions as there were so many shouty screamy performances, one lady in particular was searching for her notes full three minutes and another lady in white apparently twerked, but it looked like a newborn giraffe trying to stand up. Was it really them or was the sound off in the live show?
Ok, this said the stage was pretty and they had put effort in most performances. Yet, when the last one came on stage she was a stand out looking and sounding professional even if the song itself was missing; it was a stage show with choreography that even borrowed bits from her previous entry plus infamous Mirror mirror on the wall a bit too much. All that made the feeling of a medley half time show even more evident. I'm not a big fan of this kind of Eurovision entries. The other decent ones were Parg and Simon even if any of them need a lot of polishing to do but remembering what they did to Athena's 2020 entry be ready.
Junior Eurovision star Malena was guesting, and Eurovision 2014 veteran Aram Mp3 was hosting the show and sung again his Not alone. I was there. In Copenhagen. Nice guy, one my favorites that year and it was so cool to small talk with him there. Saved this evening for me! Great version, too. Brunette was back, too. Sadly eben that was better than anything in offer in the competition.
In the end Parg passed Simon in the voting and Athena couldn't beat him either and Survivor will be Armenian entry in Basel 2025 Eurovision.
Parg is Pargev Vardanian, 28 (Պարգև Վարդանյան)) is an Armenian indie folk, r'n'b, pop rock artist, songwriter and producer who blends Armenian sounds to his music. He released his debut single Ginin u greli in 2021 and year after his Araj won the Best Music video award in the Armenian music awards.
