    Homeless Girl Wins Armenian Eurovision


    Posted July 12th, 2008 by admin_huliq
    A twelve years old talented homeless girl from the northern Armenian
    city of Gyumri last night became the winner of the Armenian Junior
    Eurovision song contest and will represent Armenia in Junior
    Eurovision in Limassol in 2008.

    Monica Manucharova has an exceptionally beautiful and mature voice
    which is rarely seen in a twelve year old girl. The Armenian contest
    to determine the best junior voice that will represent the country in
    Junior Eurovision 2008 in Cyprus was held in several stages. The final
    round was yesterday and Monical Manucharova became the winner.

    She came with her mother Gyumri and spend the first couple of nights
    in the train station because of not having relatives in the capital
    Yerevan and not being able to afford a hotel room in Yerevan. Few days
    later, as Manucharova's talent made her to stand out from the other
    contestants she was noticed and one of the workers of the Armenian TV
    Radio took Monica and her mother to her house until she could complete
    the contest. Otherwise they were going to spend the rest of the nights
    in the train station, reports the Armenian Radio.

    In Gyumri too Monica Manucharova's family does not have an apartment
    and they live with her uncle in his house. However, as I watched the
    video she held such a wonderful pride in representing her city Gyumri
    in the national contest to determine the representative that will
    present Armenia in Junior Eurovision.

    We have heard the United States being a country of opportunity where a
    homeless talented person can become a movie start or an overnight
    celebrity. Now it's cool to see another, a rather small country
    Armenia where a homeless girl can come from a province, spend the
    night in the train station, but win the national contest and become an
    overnight celebrity, earnings even the foreign media's attention.

    Truly inspiring.

    Our congradulations to Monica Manucharova who not only won the
    national contest of the Armenian Junior Eurovision 2008, but also
    became a source of inspiration to millions of young and disadvantages
    people around the world.
