Armenian Music Awards
Finally snowing in Yerevan! Hope this means we get some warmer weather soon.
So tonight was the Annual Armenian Music Awards in Yerevan. Politics in music could have never been more obvious. The head juror was none other than Arthur Grigoryan, the person who runs the local state music school. If you are a singer that does not graduate from his school, you will find it extremely difficult to get anywhere in the local market. Jurors also included members of Parliament, not all music experts.
Could it have been any more obvious that everything was planned? If someone was to win in one category, they could not win in another. Why? Because they were not even included in another category. For example, HAYQ's "Qami Pchi" won "Hit of the Year", but the group was not included in other categories such as "Best New Artist" or "Best Group".
"Best Male Singer" and "Best Female Singer" categories each had only 2 nominations. What the hell? "Best Male" category included Mister X and, as expected, Hayko. Who won? The won who "totally deserved to win" ... Hayko. He got on stage, his applause didn't last long, so he stood there physically trying to make the audience applaud him. Let me point out that Mister X has no ties with the state music school which I mentioned above. Other male singers whom have produced a number of hits this year, such as Tigran Petrosyan and Arman Hovhannisyan were not included in this category, why? Because they won in other categories. Imagine "Titanic" or "Gladiator" only being nominated in one category at the Oscars, because it would be wrong to win more than one award.
This event should have been held at the Circus. Did I mention in about 15 performances 90% was lipsynced? AMOT!

Hayko? what did he do this year? there are so many other singers that were more productive this year than him,
who won the best female singer?
Damn.. I wish I was there! lool (NOTTTTTT)
I was in hysterics when that Emmi (?) gal was in a bath on stage and then trod water around while some overweight armenian gangsta sang rap to her. Turned off when some weird chick emerged from something (I don't know -- a pomegranate?) and seemed to be taking the piss and havign a laugh at our expense with her singing style.
For once I had to feel sorry for Robert Kocharian having to sit through that. Then again, I wouldn't particularly expect many youth to respect any pop music awards show where the president or prime minister is guest of honor. Just ain't rock 'n roll.
For on
Best Female was between Emmy and Hasmik Karapetyan. (Who's heard of 2 nominations in such a category, especially in a country of at least 100 female pop 'stars'?) And who won? Both.
Both won?? How politically safe these awards have become.
HERE HERE! Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
I have never seen such a farcical event in my life. "best female" emmy, even brought a NOTEPAD with her "thank you's" on ,,, to top it, she sang her closing song, by READING lyrics off her pad.. i thought it was a joke!
Also shocked that HAYQ didnt offer any thanks to Der Hova, who was probably 85% responsible for the success of qami pchi.
But if anyone wants to see the hilarious moments when Hayko tried to make people clap for him, or when Emmy gets laughed at on stage for bringing her note pad, then you can see them as of tommorow on my website http://www.starmenia.eu

Thank you Der Hova! You're the BEST!
I'm blushing Arsineh, but thank you for what???
Well, since you weren't thanked by HAYQ, I thought I would. So thank you. :)
Aaaaaaaah, thanks Arsineh. Good to know someone is appreciating my work. ;-)
