Armenia:- Studio version

Here's the studio version of the Armenian entry... not too different to the live version to be honest, but less people cheering!

Hayko - Anytime You Need

Anytime you need Matt Monro back from the dead

Armenia's national final took place last Sunday night in Erevan... seven songs had made it through from two semi-finals and a jury (ever the advocates of democracy the Armenians) proclaimed this the winner.

The guy's called Hayko and he's apparantly won some Armenian national music award or summat... I guess it must've been the award for youngest old time crooner because despite his ugly mug, this chap could almost be Matt Monro, but without as good a voice.

The song's a ballad.... moving swiftly on.... ha ha, well it's not without its charm and it'll no doubt provide people with a good excuse for a toilet break during the contest, which is always a good thing during a 3 hour long show.

I think Hayko must've employed the Armenian Olympic Gymnastic squad rejects to perform the dance of the seven veils behind him so the jury'd be hypnotised into letting him win... I see no other explanation for this pile of bland dullness.
