Long time no see…
Hi everyone. After numerous computer issues and no internet connection i’ve managed to get online from here in Sweden and I’m going to try and give you guys an update of whats been happening in the world of Armenian showbiz lately…
So it looks like we’re definitely in the Eurovision song contest this year..and Andre ( who was voted best male singer of 2005 ) will be representing us with a song called “Without Your Love” sung in English, and written by Armen Martirosian - a well known composer and conductor of Jazz orchestra if I’m not mistaken.
This is a huge step for Armenia, as not only has it’s tv network fulfilled broadcasting rules implied by the EBU , it has also, along with Georgia, redefined the broadcasting area of “Europe” which used to exclude Armenia and Georgia, classing them as Asia. Now they are European, or so it seems! The EBU says it has no further plans for expansion, so , we did good!
The song is premiered on H1 on the 15th of March. The world is talking about it too here.
H1 also has an official website. HERE
In other news: I complained a few months ago about a lack of the commercial talent shows in Armenia..Well it seems Shant TV company has surprised everyone again and bought rights to the to the british show “Pop Idol” and renamed it “Hay Superstar”. The producer is Erik Antaranyan, who used to host Armenia’s first ever music show “Rubikon” with Iza in 1999, obviously he’s got a bit more cash now….He claims it wont be corrupt and all will be fair..but doenst everyone.
I’m hoping it’ll also be shown on the public tv h1 via satellite, as last time Shant bought “Millionaire” H1 also used to show it. I’ll update when I’ve had confirmation from the TV.
This past month has also seen a trend in artists throwing “launch parties” for their new CD’s. Arsen Safaryan, and Hasmik Karapetian(a greatest hits cd) both had them this week, sponsored by a newly formed “Armenian Music Centre” which is specialising in producing high quality CD’s which are really nice to own. This may not sound like a big deal, but until now, CD’s produced in Armenia were very amateur in terms of packaging and design etc. According to a friend who was at Hasmik’s party, lots of “stars” had turned up, she was giving out free posters, but the fans were mainly 15-16 year old girls.
Thats all for now! I really hope to be up and running again when I return to London. For those of you who are waiting for the report from the music awards: rest assured its ready, and has been for a while, I will probably link to it rather than post on here.
i am curious about andre’s new song,i hope its good but i was wondering about another choice for eurosong.maybe emmy or annie christie!not quiet sure about andre.
anyway thnx for this post and please post more often.

Notes from the Armenian Blogosphere
Politics doesn’t seem to figure at all in this week’s roundup of the Armenian English-language blogosphere, or at least in those posts relating to the Republic itself. Culture, however, does. Over at Blogrel, for example, Harmick says that…

I’m looking forward to seeing Armenia in Eurovision, but seeing as i’m all the way in England, i have no idea whether Andre and his song are good. I’m just hoping…
Go Andre!
