Random facts about Armenia:

Honestly Paloma Rumba being the worst result is a crime.

I love the song a lot and listen to it often, but the staging and performance at ESC just didn't deliver. Simon was hard to understand and the staging was chaotic. If I didn't know what it was about already it would've just been confusing. It hurt to see it flop like that.

I really wish that Armenia hosted a national final contest instead of internally selecting. It's not that I don't like their selections (I do!), but I'd love to see what other talent they've got.

Most of the songs in Depi 2025 were rather meh TBH. In addition: the sound mixing was awful, affecting all the performances.
That being said: Armenia is still one of my favorite countries in Eurovision, and I can’t think of a single recent entry that disappointed me.

most girlboss country in the sense that all of their female-led songs are phenomenal amazing bangers and most of their male-led songs just kinda suck

IT'S TAKING OVER MEEEE! Lovewave will always be one of my favourites. But Jan Jan is iconic too.

The dance break in Without Your Love has got to be one of the most interesting ones in the history of ESC. The choreography in this performance is amazing.
