all chances to remain in the memory of the viewers.

According to the official Eurovision website, Sirusho astonished
everyone at her first rehearsal last Monday and her great
performance at the party thrown by the Russian delegation at the
Euroclub. "Sirusho and her three backing dancers once again delivered a
steady performance, opening with the dancers entangled around Sirusho’s
legs, making Sirusho wave in the air when she stoops. Sirusho did
not wear her final outfit for the semi-final on the 20th of May, but
it was revealed by a person from the Armenian delegation: Sirusho’s
dress is classy, sexy and shiny," the website writes.

A powerful support group has left for Belgrade with Sirusho, including
backup singers Tigran Petrosyan and Razmik Amyan, as well as Armenian
entrants in 2006 and 2007 Andre and Hayko.

In the framework of the promo-tour Sirusho visited Great Britain,
France, Czech Republic, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Spain, Greece,
