About Depi Evratesil (To Eurovision):
After few years of internal selections, the Armenian broadcaster have decided to come up with a brand new project called “Depi Evratesil” through which the Armenian representative for the 2017 Eurovision is to be selected. On this occasion, some former Armenian representatives have come together as jury members to choose their successor.
The jury panel is made up of former representatives Iveta Mukuchyan (2016), Aram MP3 (2015), Hayko (2007), Essai Altounian (2015), Anush Arshakyan (2009) and Inga Arshakyan (2009, 2015).
This three-month long music competition is made up of four different stages. The host of the show is Gohar Gasparyan. The Armenian broadcaster hasn’t revealed how the song for Eurovision 2017 will be chosen.
AMPTV will broadcast the next episode of the show next week.
Can you post which song each of them sang. Because outside of Only GIrls none of the contestants names were shown in the Roman alphabet, so I only have the song they sang to associate them with.
