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.
