Armenia finished in 18th place in the 26-nation Eurovision final on
its seventh appearance in Europe's biggest pop music contest on
Saturday.
The winner of one of the world's most-watched events on television
this year was betting agencies' favorite Emmelie de Forest from
Denmark with her song `Only Teardrops'. The 20-year-old singer earned
281 points in a combined vote by viewers and national juries in 39
countries.
Azerbaijan's Farid Mammadov (234 points) and Ukraine's Zlata Ognevich
(214 points) finished second and third, respectively, at the Grand
Finale in Malmo, Sweden.
The Dorians rock back and its front man Gor Sujyan representing
Armenia scored a total of 41 points. The `Lonely Planet' song
co-authored by renowned Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi won no top
marks for Dorians on the night. The highest Armenia earned was 10
points from Georgia. The other nations supporting Armenia's entry were
Bulgaria (8 points), France (7 points), Ukraine (6 points), Hungary (3
points), Russia and Belarus (2 points each), Malta, Moldova and San
Marino (1 point each).
This is the second worst placing by Armenia since it began to send
participants to Eurovision contests in 2006. Emmy failed to qualify
for the final in 2011. The best result for the nation so far was
provided by Sirusho, who finished just outside the top three in 2008.
