My story

Vasken Davidian

Haven't missed a single Eurovision Song Contest since 1975...

Diasporan Armenian Londoner extremely excited that my ethnic and cultural homeland, 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

2008
Welcome to San Marino and Azerbaijan.

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

Trying to fit France and the Netherlands in there somewhere as well...

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 (randomly): 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...
