Raul: Armenia, what have you done?! I don’t like this song at all, the whole selection was weak. I don’t know where his win came from, but it’s possible that Armenia won’t qualify for the final. About the song… I abstain
Grade: 5/10

Reza: PARG is a strong performer, and he gave it his all in the national final. His energy is infectious, and it’s clear that he genuinely enjoys being on stage. His charisma and stage presence are definitely on point. However, my main issue is with the song itself. I’ve never been a fan of Imagine Dragons-style tracks, and unfortunately, this one doesn’t even stand out as a good example of that genre. There’s something about it that feels off, making it hard for me to enjoy. And the lyrics ‘I am survivor, stay aliver’ are a huge turn-off. I have no doubt that Armenia will deliver an impressive stage performance, but I just don’t see this song ever growing on me.
Grade: 5/10

Laurentiu: An interesting song, but I’m not a fan of the artist—I would have preferred Athena. The song will definitely make an impact on stage and bring a great show, but it’s not the kind of track I would listen to in my free time. Still, it has potential to stand out.
Grade: 6/10

Stefania: Armenia’s serving Imagine Dragons energy with a side of Eurovision flair , it’s cool, just not quite my cup of tea.
Grade: 3/10

Florin: The song is good, he is indeed a performer and his energy during the performance really boosts the song. Tho, I just feel like something is missing, really hoped the revamp would elevate the song, cause there is some potential, but maybe it will hit harder in Basel. Also can’t help but feel the Imagine Dragons energy when i listen to the song. With a good performance, I think Armenia could qualify this year
Grade: 6/10

Antonio: I had no interest to listen to Armenia’s entry that much, tbh. The song is alright, but it kinda lacks something, even the live performance is not giving as much as I expected. The best of luck to them in Basel!
Grade: 5/10

Overall grade: 5.00/10

Scoreboard

  1. Albania 🇦🇱 – 9.33
  2. Armenia 🇦🇲 – 5.00
