A semi-final to remember
With all the flag waving and shouting going on, it could have been a sport championship final. The special effects, colored lights and fireworks would have been typical for a rock concert. And the choreography might have been straight out of a Disney production. But this was the semi-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest, a sort of collage of all the above.

Armenia: “When you keep on believing, someday your dreams will come true”
Tuesday 8 May 2007 at 21:00
This year’s Armenian entry is performed and co-written by Hayko. The idea came to him while composing the soundtrack to the local film Don’t Be Afraid. The song speaks of love, human tragedy and separation.
Hayko explained that the tree on stage during his performance symbolises dreams growing from the human heart. Armenians who want to see their wishes fulfilled write them down and hang them from the branches of a tree. “Even in hard times, your wishes never die. When you keep on believing, someday your dreams will come true.”
Last year Armenia finished eight with an ethno-pop song. When asked if Anytime You Need was a deliberate departure from this, Hayko nodded. “Definitely! This time we wanted to show the more sensitive side of our country.”
Are expectations so high that they are getting to Hayko? “No, because the most important thing is for my performance to be a success. Of course I’d like to win, but this contest is so unpredictable. We’ll see what happens and hope for the best.”
According to the Head of Delegation, Armenia is falling further and further under the spell of the Eurovision Song Contest. “Interest is growing, just like our tree of wishes.”
