Sirusho in the Final for Eurovision
After a hectic Semi final, Sirusho , singing DerHova’s “Qele Qele” has now qualified for her place in the Eurovision final. Obviously she knows every Armenian ( and his dog ) is with her…there seemed to be a problem with Sirusho’s vocals tonight. Sirusho is one of few Armenian acts who will almost ALWAYS sing live at any oppurtunity. Her vocals sounded harsh and it seemed as though she had a throat infection and was straining to make her performance heard. Either way, I cant imagine I’d want the whole of the Armenian race’s pride on my shoulders.. so I wish her health and may God be with her on Saturday.
She hasn’t sung live on the two occasions I’ve seen her, and she did not apparently sing live even during the national final. Eurovision bloggers in Belgrade report that she didn’t sing live in the rehearsals apart from the times when concerns were raised about her voice. Still, unreported throat infection or not, I wish her well.

True, although I saw her in London live and it was fine. I’ve heard Sirusho live a number of times and this really didnt seem like everything was ok. But we’ll see…
