For the first time in its participation history, Armenia has not made
it through to the Eurovision finals that will take place on Saturday,
May 14.
Armenia's chosen song, "Boom Boom" performed by pop singer Emmy was
fraught with controversy and disappointment throughout its tenure,
with fans at one point demanding a re-do of the vote that ultimately
sent the song to the semi-finals.
On Tuesday night however, the votes ultimately didn't add up to send
"Boom Boom," with its boxing inspired props and outfits to the next
round, while its neighbors, Azerbaijan and Georgia as well as Russia
made it through.
The up-tempo song saw Emmy enthusiastically jumping around to
choreography with a group of dancers, a move that might have
ultimately led to the entry's demise - the dancing proved too much
for the singer's vocal abilities to shine through, causing her to run
out of breath and resort to slight yelling in an effort to compensate.
Many on social networks predicted "Boom Boom" would go through,
the song fell flat as the 10 finalists were announced. Meanwhile,
its Caucasus neighbors, Azerbaijan and Georgia won spots in the finals.
The announcement led to surprise reactions from many who were watching
the telecast and posting thoughts on social networks like Twitter:
