Eurovision isn’t all about winning. For every winner these days, there are around 40 who don’t win. And a proportion of them don’t even get the chance to win, due to being discarded in the semi-final.
For some countries, getting out of the semi-final is a mere formality. You have your eye on the Saturday night, which you’re bound to make. Aren’t you? Well, if you’re Armenian, its highly likely. Unless you’re today’s birthday girl Ô·Õ´Õ´Õ¡ ‘Ô·Õ´Õ´Õ«’ Ô²Õ¥Õ»Õ¡Õ¶ÕµÕ¡Õ¶/Emma ‘Emmy’ Bejanyan. Her dubious honour is the only singer from her country who didn’t make a Grand Final. Had she scored two more points, a Final place would have been hers. I’m sure she’s not bitter.
Emmy is 34 today.
