Sirusho rocked the stage, made the world spin and took everyone captive with her charm, beauty and performance. At only 21, she has the grace of Audrey Hepburn, the charm of Anna Pavlova and the voice that commands respect wherever she is and the stage of Eurovision 2008 is definitely no exception. She also wrote her own song.

As for the other contestants, some of them definitely seemed like they were stuck in a time warp with their appearance and performance. In fact I had to look at the screen twice to confirm that it was Eurovision 2008 and not 1988.

Sirusho could very well finish at #1.

Good point Anush. Using this logic, lets cheer against our football and chess players too. On top of this, God forbid we win some medals at the Olympic Games, they’ll even be forced to play Serj’s national anthem.

Yammer, yammer about “neo-bolshevism.” Neo-STALINISM is what you should be worried about.

Rather than boycott Eurovision people should stop paying to see shows of Nune Yesayan due to the idiotic and extremely offensive comments she made two days ago regarding those who were killed on March 1st and I paraphrase – Those who died shouldn’t have been there…they only have themselves to blame for what occurred.

The sheer bravado of her words is unfathomable and goes to show her egotistical nature and how she views the common cigtizen.

In the interview she went on to praise Serzh for responding to a personal request of hers for funds when he was Defense Minister. She described him as an official who never refuses to “help a friend”.

Nune – PLEASE SHUT UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!

If recent events are any indication, the radicals among the opposition have in fact done what they can to damage the image of their country out of sheer idiocy and spite.

Plus, “we all hate Sarkissian” is simply not true. Maybe you hate Sarkissian,and that is your business. Why do the delusional among the radical opposition always invoke “The People” or “We all?”

Someone else put it well – this is neo-bolshevism at its best. No one gave you or the opposition leaders the right to speak on behalf of the nation, thank goodness.

Lots of entertainers have had ties to the mob, but nobody’s ever boycotted them, because it’s a pointless thing to do. Entertainers perform for the mob in order to advance their careers, just like they perform for anyone else. I don’t know Sirusho, but I would venture to guess that she is either a-political or she puts her career way, way above politics.

And in the end, How does anybody know that a boycott by the Opposition wouldn’t end up severely harming it by making it look like the Opposition is made up of bitter fools who would damage the image of the representative of their country out of sheer idiocy and spite?

We all hate Sarkissian and company and want to see them at the Hague. Let’s use that energy to do something that actually works.

This will be my last post on this little issue. Unfortunately, the whole thing looks like completely one sided. Again, it feels that the opposition has nothing better to do, and this is a profoundly saddening fact. All these activities illustrate the hopelessness of the opposition and both parties, the opposition and the government, are to blame for this situation.

The organizer of this should understand that if you are independent then you can win only if you stay neutral. This is a low level skirmish between two self motivated packs. People have nothing to do with this, and instead of boycotting Sirusho, please lead people towards boycotting both Serj and Levon at the same time. Only then you will win, and only then you will have your much desired democracy. Unless you start such movement, there will be many more Sirushos, many more Serjes, many more Levons, many more Kocharians, dodi Gagos, Grzyos, and so on.

It is a mainly Turkish sounding song ( the background moughams especially at minutes 1.07-1.11 and so on) I think it should be boycoted to demonstrate that the Armenians like to hear an Armenian song. I would like to see this pattern to end, Arcan (or whaoever) won many years ago and Armenians “musicians” copy that leaving any decency aside thinking that it will increase the winning chances. It will not, that song is extreemly primitive.
It is a disgrace and it should be boycotted.
Enough is enough.
I think like as the last time Turkey will give highest votes.

Eurovision is not a big deal :) The Europeans dont pay much attention to it. It is a joke in many West European countries. The Finland victory 2 years ago (?) is a good example of it.
It seems that only the new entrants and the small countries give much attaention to it.
So personally I think it should be left to the individuals to do whatever they want to do. I am a movement supporter and probably I would vote for that song if I liked it. Eurovision is a joke and Armenian government spending so much taxpayers money on it is even a bigger joke.
i think you should pay 300.000 Euros membership fee to participate. Last time Georgians didnt even bother to waste that amount of money.

Boycotting Sirusho is the dumbest idea I have ever heard. What does
she have to do with politics?! Or what is this boycott going to
achieve?!

However, it confirms my strong believe that the so-called movement is
not about freedom, as they claim, but about shamelessly disrupting
EVERY aspect of life in Armenia. Their mentality is that nothing good
ever comes out of Armenia, nothing good is ever even possible in
Armenia, that Armenia is the worst country in the world (by far), the
poverty is the worst in the world (by far), everyone is miserable and
will always stay that way, no matter what. And if, God forbid,
something good happens, then let’s destroy it right from the
beginning, because we can’t have anything good here. God forbig if
there should be even one person smiling or enjoying himself/herself.

Sorry if this came out a bit harsh, but that’s how I feel about them.
I am just venting, it’s not for publication….
