	What do I think of this?
	Armenia's representatives this year are two sisters of peculiar physical attributes. Like a S&M Scottish Widow, they are often bedecked in black rubber and velvet which would make me think twice about investing my paltry savings in their ISA. "Jan Jan" aka "Nor Par" should be called "Dog Shit". It a very weird Eastern ethnic thing (full of ululations...you know the type), which as a dyed in the wool Westerner I neither ever will, nor indeed care to understand. I think the song (if you can call it that) is like a type of cabbage soup, where they've bunged in all sorts of amusingly shaped vegetables and boiled for 5 days, only to come up with a colourful mush with no taste whatsoever. You wouldn't like it.
