THEY DIDN'T LIKE SIRUSHO'S DEBUT
Support A1+!Russia's representative Dima Bilan won the International Song Contest Eurovision 2008. Armenia's representative Sirusho took the 4th place with 203 points. Nine countries, Poland, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Belgium, Israel, France, Georgia and Russia gave Armenia the highest score -12. Turkey, Spain, Cyprus gave us 10 points and San Marino, Bulgaria- 8 points.
Our citizens have been discussion the song contest for a few days. Most people didn't like Sirusho's debut.
“I am glad Armenia could move up from the eighth place but I hoped we would take at least the third place,” says 34-year-old Gayane.
“The song was a good one. Armenia would have taken the second place provided the staging matched the song,” says 20-year-old Aram.
Reminder: the show was staged by Russia's best dancing-master Sergey Sandrikin and the dancers were invited from the famous Street Jazz group.
“To tell the truth, I think Sirusho's presentation failed. Thanks God, we took the forth place as Sirusho sand badly,” noted 18-year-old Hamlet.
“Sirusho could have performed better but for her excitement characteristic of our nation. Our singers won't be that tense unless they attach a great importance to such contests,” says 18-year-old Ani. Sirusho didn't sing badly. And yet, in comparison with Ukrainian and Greek representatives we understand that she is far from being a professional signer,” says 48-year-old Gaspar.
Many citizens say it is no use criticizing our signers.
“Sirusho looked splendid on the stage. Besides, the forth place is not that bad,” says 24-year-old Vardan.
