Eurovision Song Contest, Netherlands
Dec 16 2006

What’s going on in Armenia?

Earlier in the year, a representative of Armenian Television told
esctoday.com that Armenia would have a national final for Eurovision
2007, with semi finals held in December – however, now over halfway
through December, this seems unlikely to happen. So where does
Armenia go from now?
Last year ARMtv chose Andre internally, based on his receiving
several awards at the National Music Awards, the largest and most
important music awards ceremony in Armenia each year. This year Andre
got another award, a special award for being the first ever Armenian
singer at Eurovision.

Other major award winners were Hayko, who won ‘Best Singer Of The
Year’ (the award that led ARMtv to select Andre last year), Hasmik
Karapetayan and Emmi shared the ‘Best Female Singer Of The Year’
award, Tigran Petrosyan won Best Album, Hayer won Best Pop Group,
Empyray were the Best Rock Act, Arman Hovhannisan & Arminka won Best
Duo, and Hayk won Best Song for Kamin Pchi.

If ARMtv decide to once again follow the results of the National
Music Awards to select their 2007 singer, we could very well see one
of the aforementioned in Helsinki!
