My story
Vasken Davidian
Haven't missed a single Eurovision Song Contest since 1975...
Diasporan Armenian Londoner extremely excited that Armenia, at long last, is taking part in this great contest. My musical tastes tend to be biased towards the eastern Mediterranean: a good ethnic piece from the Balkans, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Armenia gets me every time.
Native tongue: Western Armenian
Fluent in: English, Greek
Very basic: Spanish, Turkish
2010
At this early stage - with still most selections to be made - there are already 5 songs that I really do like. They are Turkey (my kind of song - wish it was in Turkish!), Switzerland (classic Eurovision - moody, melodic, great backing singers - love it), Armenia (the best song from Armenia so far - great singer, great song - wish it was in Armenian), Poland (love the drama - wish it was in Polish) and Finland (love it!!!).
2009
France was the best song this year. Finally a song at Eurovision that reflects my musical tastes and am sure will be listening to again and again.
I also like Israel, Albania, Estonia, Moldova and Norway as well as our song My Time... again finally a decent song from the UK.
2008
Israel was the best song, followed by Turkey, Serbia, Armenia and Portugal... voted for these five. Overall best song for me was San Marino which unfortunately came last/failed to qualify.
My favourite songs in 2008 (the order will probably change but not the top spot!) :
SAN MARINO 12 points
Serbia 10 points
Armenia 8 points
Israel 7 points
Turkey 6 points
Portugal 5 points
Iceland 4 points
Cyprus 3 points,
Switzerland 2 points
Ukraine 1 point
Traditionally favourite countries have been France and Luxembourg... especially when they sent good, solid ballads sang by amazing female vocalists.
Favourite ESC winner: Anne Marie David, Tu te Reconnaitras, Luxembourg (1973)
Favourite songs: Je suis l'enfant soleil, Lane Moje, Dinle, Anthropos kai gw, Khorepse, Olou tou kosmou i elpida, Mono i aghapi, Ik jou van jou, Israel 1977, too many to mention...
