SIRUSHO the singer to represent Armenia was chosen last year but the
song Qele Qele was chosen at weekend.
The singer was selected last November and the song she will sing in
Belgrade was chosen by a jury and members of the public.
The songs came from an open competition involving Armenian songwriters,
which the jury narrowed down to just four.
Sirusho sang each of the songs Strong, I Can't Control It, I Still
Breathe plus the winning song on TV on Saturday evening. After the
songs had been presented, TV viewers were then asked for their verdict
by text voting, as well as that of an expert jury.
According to eurovision.tv the winning song is a mixture of ethnic
sounds and contemporary pop music. It starts like a ballad with a
verse in Armenian language, building up to an up-tempo pop song with
lyrics which are mostly in English. Armenia will compete in the first
semi-final of the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest, taking place on May
20 in Belgrade.
