Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    ARMENIA, SWEDEN OR BELGIUM? FIVE SONGS TO WATCH OUT FOR IN THE FIRST EUROVISION SEMI-FINAL

    Metro, UK
    May 6 2014

    Caroline Westbrook

    Planning to watch the first Eurovision semi-final? Make sure you keep
    your eyes peeled for this quintet of contenders.

    So Eurovision 2014 is finally upon us, but before we all get to
    see how our very own Molly fares in Copenhagen, we've got a pair of
    semi-finals to look forward to.

    Tuesday night's semi will see the first 16 countries take to the
    Eurovision stage in their bid to win one of 10 places in Saturday
    night's final (alongside automatic qualifiers France, Spain, Germany,
    Italy, the UK and Denmark).

    And here's just some of the contenders you can look forward to -
    or not, as the case may be - on the big night...

    Armenia - Not Alone by Aram MP3

    Gruff Armenian crooner Aram MP3 is not only kicking off the whole
    shebang on Tuesday night but is also the favourite to win the entire
    contest with this moody little number, which starts off as a lush
    ballad before suddenly taking a dub-steppy turn around the two minute
    mark. Either the one to beat, or some bloke standing alone on a vast
    stage singing the words 'not alone' several thousand times to the
    point of distraction, depending on your opinion.

    Will it make the final? Almost certainly.

    Sweden - Undo by Sanna Nielsen

    Habitual Melodifestivalen hopeful Sanna has finally made it to the
    Eurovision stage after six previous attempts to represent Sweden at
    the contest. And she's done it with what can only be described as an
    epic ballad that ticks all the necessary boxes. Anthemic chorus?

    Check. Key change? Check. Wind machine? Oh probably.

    Will it make the final? Yes. But it's worth noting that Sweden have
    never actually won the contest with a ballad, so whether or not it
    gets any further is another matter.

    Hungary - Running by Andras Kallay-Saunders

    Possibly one of the grimmest songs ever to make it to the Eurovision
    arena, Running weaves a sorry tale of child abuse which may well
    surprise all those still convinced that your average entry draws its
    lyrics from the boom bang-a-bang style school of songwriting. It's
    also rather good.

    Will it make the final? Not only will it make the final but its
    dramatic blend of ballad crossed with drum n'bass makes it a potential
    contender for the title. One could almost say they are Hungary for
    the win. Shall we just end it there?

    Belgium - Mother by Axel Hirsoux

    Here's a song which has thoroughly divided Eurovision fans, with
    some absolutely loving the sentiments and operatic stylings of
    Axel's maternal tribute - and others finding the whole thing just
    a tad creepy. And yes, he actually does refer to his mother as 'my
    satellite' in the chorus. We'll be honest, we're kind of veering
    towards the latter opinion.

    Will it make the final? Highly likely. Although your own ma may never
    forgive you for voting for it.

    Netherlands - Calm After The Storm by the Common Linnets

    The Dutch are kind of on a roll after Anouk finally returned them
    to the top ten in 2013 - and this year they've followed a similarly
    classy route with their entry, a gorgeous country-tinged ballad by duo
    Waylon and Ilse de Lange (performing under the above name). A few more
    songs like this in the Eurovision line-up certainly wouldn't go amiss.

    Will it make the final: If the massed voting ranks do the right thing
    then it will. Come on people, you know it makes sense.

    The first Eurovision semi-final is on BBC Three from 8pm.

    Five songs to watch out for in the first Eurovision semi-final

      Eurovision 2014: Aram Mp3 places fourth in grand final

      Arts and Culture | 11.05.14 | 09:18
      Photo: Andres Putting (EBU)


      Armenia has repeated its best finish in Eurovision yet due to Saturday
      night's performance by Aram Mp3 in the grand finale of Europe's
      biggest pop music contest in Copenhagen, Denmark, won by Austria's
      `bearded lady'.

      Aram Mp3's `Not Alone' song scored 176 points in a combined TV viewer
      and professional jury vote, landing the Armenian participant fourth
      place in the competition.

      Armenia's highest points came from: France, Austria, Georgia (all 12);
      Montenegro, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine (all 10); Russia, Macedonia (both
      8), while it gave its highest points to Montenegro (12), Russia (10),
      and Belarus (8).

      The contest was won by Austrian drag queen Conchita Wurst, popularly
      known as `the bearded lady', who scored 290 points for her `Rise Like
      a Phoenix' song.

      Armenia has participated in Eurovision song contests since 2006
      (skipping the 2012 show for security reasons as it was hosted by Baku,
      Azerbaijan). Before Aram Mp3 only Sirusho managed to place as high as
      fourth in 2008. Armenia's biggest setback was registered in 2011 when
      its participant Emmy failed to qualify for the final.

        Re: Eurovision 2014

        lol now that for the first time I watched more than just the Armenia performance, i realize how stupid my kilikia comment was. that was one of the most insane things I've seen. I would understand some of the other acts winning, but there is no way that freak from Austria would have won if not for what it was dressed as. It is almost painful to see what has happened to Western Europe. No wonder its becoming an Arab/Turkish colony. After watching that I'm a little glad Armenia has cast its lots with Russia. Somewhere out there Alfred the Great and Charlemagne are rolling over their graves wondering what happened to the civilization they created.

In Greek polls armenian came up first and austria 2 , but jury voted armenian number 12 in order hence giving only 7 instead of 12 points ... that 50 -50 % Politics ruined the eurovision ..UK people voted poland number 1 .. but it turned out they gave austria the 12 points ...

            its surprising how many countries Armenia actually came in first in public voting
            We got the most votes in Israel also, but only got a 11th ranking with jury, and it averaged out to 5th
