“Dear Members of the Organizational Committee of Eurovision-2008 Song Contest & Europian Broadcasting Union.
I request You to demand from Armenia to change the song that has been selected to represent it in Eurovision-2008. Firstly, this song is a potpourri made of three well-known Azerbaijani folk songs i.e. “Dilberim”, “Garagile” and “Sary Gelin” and this fact is a clear infringement of copyright. Secondly, according to terms of the Contest every participant should submit a song composed recently and not promoted commercially yet. But the song selected by Armenia doesn’t meet these requirements. Armenia should be forced to oblige to the requirements otherwise Armenia should be stricken off the list of participants of Eurovision-2008 and the Armenian representative (Sirusho) should be prohibited from performing the above-mentioned potpourri in this honored Contest.
Best regards,
Babayev Vugar

This time Lithuania is good. We are with you Jeronimas Milius!
February 14th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
I like the Czech song
But I’d vote for Greece if the song’s good… this year it’s all young and cheeky Greek competitors, so the result might be good. Well, nothing compares to Helena, though!
February 18th, 2008 at 7:07 am
So far I’ve watched 14 videos, Turkey has the best song, Norway is not bad as well.
February 18th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
according to me the best song is Turkey.my vote will go to Turkey.to agree with alan.
February 19th, 2008 at 7:01 pm

I have heard some of the songs. I think that Norway is the best. I think Malta compared to the other countries have chosen is much better than them. I can say as well for Andorra that it is not a bad song.
Estonia has a terrible song but I would not be surprised if it makes it to the final and get a high placing
February 23rd, 2008 at 10:03 am
I think that Polsh song is nice… Isis Gee is great…
February 23rd, 2008 at 11:47 pm

March 4th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Almost all the participants have the chance to rock ESC 2008,excluding some few contries.From originality point of view, I think AZERBAIJAN final song is one of the best. Their song is some new style of mix rock -opera-mugham, which something is not usual for other contries. I would say this is a very best song for the audiance with a good taste.
GOOD LUCK, AZERBAIJAN!!!
March 5th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
go dustin wooo…… and every other country too …..
March 5th, 2008 at 6:52 pm

March 13th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
i want TURKEY to win. because turkey havent win for a long time.
March 13th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Vote fort turkey everyone and i am turkish
turkler turkiyeye oy vermeye devam………
March 13th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Ok, ok!!!!
Of course being from Spain, I want Spain to win. ChikiChiki, VIVA SPAIN.
Just took a look at the comments concerning Armenian and Ukrainian songs. To be fair, the comment concerning Ukrainian song that ” music has the beat that makes u wanna dance”, I don’t agree totally. Cause, if you talk from dancing point of view Armenian song is way more rythmic than Ukrainian and more energetic. If you look at Ukrainian video cliip the half of the song was just walking on the stage. Of course Ukrainian singer is absolutely gorgeous and is a terrific person, but I don’t think she has a lot of chances. SORRY…., but again EUROVISION is unpredictable, so let’s just enjoy it
March 13th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Jan…. QELE-QELE
ARMENIA 4ever….
March 13th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
guess what, i got so tired of these comments concerning armenian qele-qele that i just checked out that song…. and was really surprised at a good quality of both song and a singer
good luck in final
thumbs up

ARMENIA WILL WIN THIS YEAR FOR SURE!!
March 14th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Okay, guys, Armenia seems to be prevailing in the opinions here. How about Dustin the Irish Turkey, though? Or the Danish song, I like it a lot. Also, the French song seems to be quite nice, and the Bulgarian track deserves some attention too, although it’s a bit too commercial and mixes too many styles to appeal to my taste. Give ear to the Norwegian, Serbian, Turkish!! and Hungarian entries too - all of them are worth noting, fascinating in their diversity. The bad news about contests is that there has to be a winner.
by the way, a poll is coming soon.
May the power be with you!
March 14th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
I want to say special thanx to sweetp
and to all of you guys who are saying such nice things about the Armenian song! We really love u.! Guys, I think Armenia is doing really good this year! Hey, listen to the songs once more and pay attention to the way Sirusho things, I mean the pronunciation, she is just great. LET’S GO ARMENIA! Armenia is the country where HUMANITY was given a second chance. But please Europe give us a chance to be in the top final this year. THANXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 14th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
I think the battle this year will be between russia ukraine and armenia….to be honest wif u…one of those is gonna win..but agen all the best to everyone
