Armenia’s song at Eurovision 2011 needs support
March 9, 2011 - 13:53 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - The fans of Boom-Boom song Armenia’s Emmy will represent at Eurovision 2011 are more in number that its opponents, according to author of the lyrics Sosi Khanikyan.

“Whatever song is selected, it needs support,” Khanikyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. “Our team called on the fans to support the winning song prior to the competition,” she said.

Some Eurovision fans in Armenia disagree with the selection of Boom-Boom to be performed by Emmy at the song contest. As the statement obtained by PanARMENIAN.Net said, the selection was illogical as the song АYO was leading the SMS votings the results of which were posted on the web. “Boom Boom is a plagiarism of a song earlier performed by a Russian singer Jasmine,” the fans stressed, noting that votes sent for AYO were never accepted by the voting system.

Armenian fans urged to annul voting results till March 10 and pick AYO for Eurovision 2011.
