Brunette
Rumour already had it, but now AMPTV (Armenian public broadcaster) has confirmed: Brunette will represent Armenia in Liverpool. Armenian television selected the singer internally.
Brunette is one of the most famous singers in Armenia. Already when she was 15, she sang titles like “Night”, “Smoke Break” and “Light Blue Eyes”. On YouTube, she gained millions of views for these songs.
Sending a young artist
AMPTVs Executive Director Hovhannes Movsisyan commented on the selection of Brunette:
“Last year, sending a young artist to Eurovision was justified. The song is still successful and captivates millions of fans. I hope this year we will surprise the European audience with a unique Armenian artist.”
Selection process
Davit Tserunyan, the Head of the Armenian delegation, added:
“A few weeks after organising the Junior Eurovision in Yerevan, we started the process of selecting our representative for the contest. At this stage, we are working on the song and the video, which I am sure will be impressive!”
Armenia in the Eurovision Song Contest
Armenia is present in the contest since 2006. Two times (in 2008 with Sirusho and in 2014 with Aram mp3) the country reached a 4th place. And although Rosa Linn had to deal with a 20th place for her “Snap” last year, her song became one of the best streamed Eurovision songs ever.
