First Controversy of 2010 Comes from Armenian Selections
Posted 5 February, 2010 - 16:07 by Serkan Ulu�§ay
As the national finals get into full swing across Europe, controversy
is starting to creep in to the Armenian selections. One of the songs
due to compete in the final has been found to be similar to two other
songs.
The song by Sonya, Never, is accused of taking some of its melody and
the intro from two other songs. Coincidentally, both songs are by
former Eurovision participants.
One part of Sonya's song is thought to have been used in the song,
Evlenmeliyiz, which was sung by Hadise this summer, and that song was
a hit in both Belgium and Turkey, and also in a couple of smaller
countries. Hadise also represented Turkey at the Eurovision Song
Contest and was placed 4th 2009 with her song D�¼m Tek Tek.
Another part of controversy in Sonya's song is the alleged similarity
between it and the song, Belli mi Olur, which was sung by another
Turkish singer �°zel. That song was also placed �°zel's album, I���±kl� ;& #xB1;
Yol that year. Izel represented Turkey at the Eurovision Song Contest
in 1991 with her song �°ki Dakika.
A report of the situation has been sent to Armenian national
broadcaster ARMTV and more information will be announced on
EuroVisionary after ARMTV's declaration about these allegations. You
can also listen and watch both Sonya, Hadise and �°zel's song below:
