    A 17-year-old Armenian singer has won the BBC World Service's Next
    Big Thing competition in London with her song, I Like, written by
    her siblings.

    The BBC reported Saturday that the singer known as Silva beat out
    six other acts from around the world at the final competition.

    Judges praised the song as fresh and new and they called her
    performance second to none. Silva had worked with her brother and her
    sister on the fetching song. She later said that the glowing comments
    from the judges gave her the confidence to make the step up to the
    international level.

    Silva told the BBC, It's terrific; it's unbelievable to be in first
    place.

    The competition, part of the BBC's Generation Next season, featured
    performers under 18.
