YEREVAN. – Armenian singer Emmy’s failure at Eurovision 2011 was due to poor performance of another singer who performed as back vocal, said Armenian singer Shushan Petrosyan.

Petrosyan considers that criticism over Emmy is nothing but betrayal, as she performed well.

“I cannot understand how one can criticize clothes, hair and such things. That attitude is a betrayal. What do you want, the girl is just 22,” she emphasized (Emmy was born in 1984, she is 27 – ed.).

Shushan Petrosyan stressed she advised Emmy not to participate in the contest. She also commented on performance of Eurovision 2010 Armenian delegate, singer Eva Rivas. Petrosyan compared Rivas with bubble gum from overseas. 

As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, Armenia’s representative at Eurovision Song Contest 2011 Emmy did not qualify for the Grand Final.
