    As for Badalian....well...he's dead now. He died 2-3 years ago I think. He is generally known as the singer who brought real armenian music back to popularity in Armenia and the diaspora in his heyday (the 70s I guess). He's also the one that trained Roupen Matevosian, and other singers of traditional (and not always so traditional) armenian music.
    did you check out the armenian navy band or www.serart.com ?

      Rouben Matevosian - 9 (sorry dants, he must've slipped my mind... how would u give him a 15, the scale only goes up to 10 )
      Alla Levonyan - 7 (sounds good, keep up the good work. she's too young to get over 7..)
      Ophelia Hambartsumian - 9
      Datevik Hovannesian - 9
      Armenchik - 7 (he's got a songwriting powerhouse behind him, but as a singer, he's worthy of a 7 for now.... see me in 10 years)
      Aravod - 7.5 (im reluctant to give out 8's too easily.. lol but they're really awesome. i must say tho, its hard, for me anyway, to sit thru the whole CD in one shot. the music is great & would deserve a 9, but we're talking about singers here)
      Harout Khatchoyan - an uncertain 8 (ill know better when i see him at the toronto kermess in july, & for those who dont know puzant, he'll be there too )
      Armen Aloyan - 6

      Manuel is indeed the guy who sang "Silva" & his most popular "Yerchangoutyan Artsounknere", which was also a movie in which he acted as well.

            Yeah...he gets 10 from me as well!!
            Though anyone of you who havent heard Badalian, i recommend you to listen...everyone of you should at least hear one or two good armenian folk songs !

              since he's past his prime, u had to rate him in his best years. i give him 10 for then & u know what? i still give him a big 10 now. he's tired & worn & cant belt it like he used to, but he's still the best armenian singer there is for me... he's got that attitude.. even in his sad love songs where he's like "sireliiis.. veratartsiiiir" his tone of voice sounds like "chi veratarnas ne, voroun djiveroun agaaaa!!!" looolll i like that about his singing.... it makes him a total a$$hole of a person, but i gotta give it to him that at least its working in favor of his singing.

                  ~that song was sang at the april 24th system concert lol...great song
                  but yeah you're right, in his hay day paul would've been a 9-10

                  ~someone mentioned Nune being nasal annoying...wtf do you think Andy sounds when he sings? but he has a good production crew that creates a good show and makes up for him.

                  The Aravod CD isn't a good way to judge them, you have to see them live, and im sure their next recording will be recorded better....but they kick vor

                      The songs sung by Badalian, Matevosian, Hambartsumian, Alla Levonyan, Lilit Pipoyan, and most of what Nune sings (before she tried to appeal to the masses with stupid songs like "akh yo dlo yo dlo").

                      And Arden, Matevosian was DEFINITELY worth 15 on 10 back in the day. You have to listen to the old tapes, not the CDs.


                      Oh, and we forgot Arthur Meschian - 8
