Shushan Petrosyan slams Emmy's criticisers May 12, 2011 - 12:41 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian singer Shushan Petrosyan labeled those slamming Emmy and her Eurovision 2011 performance as traitors. As the singer stressed at a news conference in Yerevan, Eurovision is “not a place for serious artists.” Petrosyan characterized criticism against Emmy launched in social networks as unacceptable. “How can people be so cruel, seeing how many ordeals Emmy had to undergo over the past year.” As Petrosyan noted, she believes Emmy’s contest performance to be very good. She, however, was less than happy with the back-vocal which was not up to the mark. Armenia’s Emmy was knocked out of Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in the May 10 seminal, although her performance of Boom Boom song was met warmly by the audience at Arena stadium in Dusseldorf, Germany.
