For the first time ever... Armenia is OUT of Eurovision final. Failure that I warned you about...

I feel sorry for Emmy. Stage-wise they did whatever possible or impossible to save the performance. It was entertaining. But... what happened to her voice? Vocally it was too bad. But... that’s not even the most important aspect of it. There was this big BUT there... the BUT that mattered the most... At the end of the day, THAT song sucked. Spectacularly. It always did.

The failure that amounted to a cold shower for the Public TV of Armenia, the organisers of the Eurovision Song Contest. They can no longer rely on Diaspora voting. They must rely on quality, even if Eurovision-like. It’s as simple as that.

I warned you. I sincerely did.

Read my latest comments I made before today’s semi-final so that nothing could influence what I had to say...

Major fail for Armenia in Eurovision. Emmy was robbed of her Eurovision song 

Cute Emmy + hot Greek dancers. Things started looking better for Armenia in Eurovision

Nothing and no one (absolutely no one) could help Armenia to progress further with THAT song, and deservedly so. No, I am not rejoicing that my predictions came true. I am just stating the facts.

I am glad that my favourites from the 1st semi - Georgia, Lithuania and Greece - all progressed to the final.

Georgia stood out in Eurovision context and may be beyond. Even my sexual orientation was questioned for a moment or two. A friend of mine commented on Facebook re my liking of Georgian entry: “and really, Mika, one would never know you were gay”. [*smile* and *like*]

Respects to Lithuania. Not only they were good vocally, but the use of sign language... RESPECTS.

And Greece... except from that rapping part, it was hot. Seriously.
