A little story about me
***I love the song Milim so much, that I made my own English version of it (though I like it better in hebrew, and hope he keeps it in hebrew) here it is..hope you guys like it...
Feelin’ so lost and alone
Thinking of you up in my room
Can’t believe this is it
The truth behind what we had me and you
I guess I can’t have what I want
But I’ll cherish you, forever more in my heart,
or in the prayers of mine
You’ll never know
The tears I cry from you
You’ll never know
The times when dreams seem real
You’ll never know
The love I have for you
God, you’ll never know
There’s a burden between me and you me and you
But I hoped you’d know my love for you is real and true
You’ll never know
The tears I cry for you
You’ll never know
The times when dreams seem true
You’ll never know
The love I have for you
God, no you’ll never know
The time will pass and heal the pains I have
But my heart will break again and again
For as long as I dream of you, and think of you
Feelin’ so lost and alone
Thinking of you up in my room
Can’t believe this is it
The truth behind what we had me and you
I guess I can’t have what I want
But I’ll cherish you, forever more in my heart,
or in the prayers of mine
You’ll never know
The tears I cry from you
You’ll never know
The times when dreams seem real
You’ll never know
The love I have for you
God, you’ll never know
There’s a burden between me and you me and you
But I hoped you’d know my love for you is real and true
You’ll never know
The tears I cry for you
You’ll never know
The times when dreams seem true
You’ll never know
The love I have for you
God, no you’ll never know
The time will pass and heal the pains I have
But my heart will break again and again
For as long as I dream of you, and think of you
Favourite singers
MY FINAL PREDICTION FOR 2010 EUROVISION!
1. ARMENIA (Eva is in the lead in most of prestigious web sites polls, the bookmakers have given her a top 5, I say she's a winner for me)
2. ISRAEL (My second favorite entry, This is by far the best Israeli entry..GOOD LUCK)
3. GERMANY (The song is catchy, in a year where there's no Dum Tek Tek, Satellit can do well)
4. TURKEY (One of many great songs Turkey sends every year, I love this song)
5. Croatia (The ladies are beautiful, I think they will end the night in top 10)
6. DENMARK (I don't really like this song, but it will do well)
7. AZERBAIJAN (Always was a lot better, but considering the fact that Azerbaijan spent probably 50% of it's GDP to advertise the song, then I am sure it will end in top 10 though the lyrics are crap)
8. ALBANIA (really love the song, it's catchy and it's kool, hopefully they will gather good amount of points)
9. GREECE (Another nice, ethnic greek music. Knowing that Greeks are so talanted, I have no doubt that they will throw a spectacular show)
10. GEORGIA (Sopho is beautiful, her song is nice, and I will only the best to our neighbors)
ALSO LIKE!
11. Latvia-I think the song has a good message, and the girl is smokin hot
12. Belarus-Nice ballad, one of the members I think is Armenian that's a big +to get points from Armenia;)
13. Iceland-haven't really heard the song all the way, but it's ok
14. Lithuania-These guys know how to party, the song is too fun, a little silly but still kool
AND TO THE REST....GOOD LUCK FROM ARMENIA! Hopefully next year we can all meet in Yerevan, but even if not, think if Apricot stone, not as a fruit, but think outside the box, and you'll discover that this beautiful song is about finding your self identity;)))

yea, western European politics dominated this year, and eastern block was not able to to do much, cuz so many of eastern european songs qualified! But next year, I actually think it's going to be either Sofi Mxeyan from Armenia or Lucina who'se been working with Wyclaf Jean and Sony records they're both good check em out if you have time..I'd like to see Maryam represent Azerbaijan she has a nice voice!By NaRmiShKa 89
Reply from Tigren:
yes, same here! However, I am very proud of the fact that all three countries of Caucasus ended up in the top 10...that's a big accomplishment itself...Let's just wait and see next year! But Turkey did get the second place so it's good enough for them! however I didn't expect Romania to be in top 3 and Germany yes....well Germany paid for this eurovision, so they can pay for the next one too I guess!By NaRmiShKa 89

Thanks same to you and to your country. Hopefully, we can both proudly speak of our entries after eurovision is over;))By NaRmiShKa 89
Reply from Tigren:
same here, but sometimes I feel like, I have to sit down and explain to some people that wut they think is "truth" is not universal, there is another side to the issue that they are ignoring. And it ends up in a fight. I really respect the fact that Azerbaijan spends all that money to prepare each year for eurovision. And Safura is a likable girl, with a nice voice, but I wish some of the lyrics would have been changed to make the song better. Thanks for liking Apricot stone.By NaRmiShKa 89

Well my "agressive posts' are not forwarded to you. They are for those who insult my nation, and therefore me. Really, you're a nice person, and I appreciate the fact that you leave politics aside, because you understand that I as a common person do not hate you. But I will change my opinion about Azeri media if they stop with their yellow journalism, and hatred towards Armenia;))By NaRmiShKa 89

I didn't say cat crying I said cat screaming...and as bad armenia's lyrics were in 09 even worse were Azerbaijan's in 08 but you know what I really don't wanna argue with you. I have nothing against you and ur people...just hate your government for brainwashing your people. So, let's just stay friends and enjoy eurovisionBy Gunay Hasanova
By Gunay Hasanova
Reply from Tigren:
yeah...Samir and Elnur's song was definately one of the most "unique songs"...the cat screaming, mixing rock and opera vawes definately showed the Azerbaijani culture except I didn't catch the mugham part. I don't think Azerbaijan has showed their culture fully yet in eurovision. At least not as much as Armenia hasBy Gunay Hasanova
Reply from Tigren:
why won't you enlighten us and show us your culture? I think Azerbaijan is scared to get embarassed. We showed OUR culture and came out with dignity...your culture has been shown several times by Turkey so its ok we'll just wait to hear the Izzy Gold American production next year...oh wait..there might not be next year for youBy Gunay Hasanova
Our Officials did not do nothing to 43 people.They asked reason.One of them:"I don't love Arash".One of:"Song was azeri song".One of:"Song was our Nakhchivani" .And etc.Your song of this year plagiat was.You do not say why this?It is Tofig Guliyev's song -"Nakhchivani"!
Reply from Tigren:
yeah questioning people for voting at a eurovision song contest is the most redicioulous thing your country can do and there is no denial that Azerbaijan is one of the most corrupt, anti-human rights, dynasties in the world which is sad because the only way your country is united right now is through common hatred towards Armenians. And Armenia's song this year was no plaigarims bc if it was EBU would not allow it to enter. It's just stupid Azeri provoke to Armenians..but its ok now the whole Europe knows what "the land of fire" really isBy Gunay Hasanova
We were respecting to armenians.But you drove out all azeris at the 1988 fromArmenia.You occupied Karabakh from 1990.
And sorry!I don't liked yours blog-Boycott Azerbaijan!!!Last year also Belarus gived 10 points us.
Reply from Tigren:
Gunay as I said I will not continue arguing about Karabak issue..but I am not the only one who is boycotting Azerbaijan...pretty soon your country might be banned from eurovision for questioning and threatning those 43 people who voted for Armenia...so you have more global issues to worry about like democracy and freedom of speechBy Mesut S.

Hi..yes I do want peace in Azerbaijan..and Artzakh became azeri soil only after Lenin gave it to Azerbaijan in mid 1920's but I don't wanna bother talking about it cuz there is no point bringing politics into music...By NaRmiShKa 89
By NaRmiShKa 89
Reply from Tigren:
yeah, you're totally right...there were a lot of azerbaijanis in Armenia too, my best friends' parents were from Azerbaijan but of course he only spoke Armenian he didn't know azerbaijani. You're right politics makes it very dirty that's why I hate it. People need to get over it and just like Armenia rewarded 1 point to Azerbaijan we should follow that and give more points to each other. After all, we are neighbor countries and our songs have sooo much similarities.By NaRmiShKa 89
Reply from Tigren:
yea take it easy...I'm drowned with school..its haardd..I have a speech class and actually my second speech is going to be about caucasus region so I'm going to include some info about Azerbaijan..I just think that its so stupid that over a land two countries that used to be brothers during Soviet times turned 180 degrees and this dangerous hatred has started sad...do all azeris hate armenians?By Nandia P

To be honest with you I hate the fact that Armenia and Azerbaijan are enemy countries. it is said how politics can change peoples' perspective whereas Armenians and Azeris used to be great friends years ago and it is not surprising that we all have similar caucasian personality ( stabburness especially lol) but I really hope that one day this politics will change there will finally be peace between our countries. So what do you study? what do you do? tell me about ur life in AzerbaijanBy NaRmiShKa 89

well, cuz my grandparents moved here looong time ago so I ended up living here most of my life, but I visit Armenia time to time but my life is shaped here and I can't live anywhere else. Thanks, you seem like a very friendly person. I also like the fact that you are outspoken that's a great personaiity trait :))By NaRmiShKa 89
Reply from Tigren:
well from Biblical stand point as it is proven that Ark of Noah landed on mount Ararat from there the nations started being created so the spread of the world is from the point where right now (Turkey and Armenian border is) but no that's absolutely not true we can never say that the whole world started from Armenia but Armenia is older than all the countries in Caucasus and there is no doubt about thatBy NaRmiShKa 89
Reply from Tigren:
I didn't mention Arash in my comment....and I didn't say disrespectful things about anyone. But since you propse it let me tell you everyone knows Arash as a Persian Swedish singer his great grandfather had an azeri ancestors blah blah...of course in all honestly Ictima TV hired him so that Azerbaijan can earn a good position, but I am not going to go there as I said there are a lot of countries who hire famous people to represent them and its sad because it shows that those countries only care about placing. How bout Azerbaijan shows its culture next year in eurovision. Every year Armenia has brought out music with Armenian instruments and has gone as far as to show our culture on stage and every year Azeris have made provocative comments saying they stole it from us...I would really want to see Azerbaijan representing its culture on stage.By N e l l y

Yes I was disappointed with Sakis' scoring but I was more disappointed that Greece didn't reward anything to Armenia. Anyway, I don't like mixing politics and music. I am glad that Armenia still made it to the top 10 even though the girls desereved a higher place and I am glad that Estonia and Iceland scored high.By Nandia P
Reply from Tigren:
oh I'm good thanks how are you? how do you feel about Greece's score? well yeah Armenia and Greece are very old around east europe so it is only logical to think that the instruments created that long can belong to either Armenia or greece. either way, Armenia is trying to resolve the issue with turkey but the 1915 genocide is hard to forgive.By Zeki Uyan
By Zeki Uyan
If we return to music(yes,we must:)) Zurna and Davul are our common instruments.There is nothing belonging to just one nation in Southeast of Europe.And yes,nations must protect their culture as their lives.
Excuse me for History Subject.
Reply from Tigren:
Thank you wish the same to Turkey...except that I don't hate hating Turkey lol I don't hate Turkey at all...Anyway, hope to see both our countries in top 10!!By Zeki Uyan
First of all mongolia is just a place of Barbarian hordes of easter asia it is not our motherland.We captured Anatolia from BYZANTION Empire!We never took anything from Armenians.But before we capture it,we were already living in anatolia as a minority in Byzantion Empire.We got a history of 11 thousand years.7 thousand Barbarian,4 Thousand Civilisation!Our nation was not born in Anatolia!We were having a lot of great Turkish States before anatolia.Like Khun,Kokturk,Hazar,Babur,Uygur etc.
Have you ever thought about that Chinggis Khan came europe killed everyone and his people couldn't stand against Europe(Contents Turk-Islam) culture.Because they were barbarian.There was no way for them to stay here.But Turks have come, stand and created a really great(You can not deny this.) empire named Ottoman.How could this happen?And Turks didn't kill everyone they are seeing.Just because you are still alive.
Arabics still couldn't be a real nation.Because their culture is not enough for this.How could Islam grove up and made every kind of Science in 11th century?With these Arabics?80 percent of Scientist of Islam were having Turkish background.
And do you know there is just two kinds of classical music in all world?Europian Classical Music and Turkish Classical Music!
Finally I'm wishing to tell that We were already happened in world and Europe history before Malazgirt!These knowledges are not the words of an angry young nationalist.These are the words of historians(one is ordinarius proffessor).
Noone can explain Turkish architecture,music,language,literature,military etc. with only arabic,byzantion effects.Arabs were living in tents or square sandmade houses those times.There is byzantion effect in our culture but all other stuff are belonging to us.
My home city were an Armenian city two thousand years ago.But there is hundreds of thousands Roman,Byzantion,Arabic,Turkish,Grek historical buildings no Armenian!
I didn't want to talk as nationalist as this.But you meant we learnt everything from Armenians and were barbarian before Anatolia.I couldn't stop myself...
note:Seljuks were from South of Middle Asia (Turkmenistan of today.)if you wanna learn.Not from mongolia.We didn't have any crusade.Seljuks didn't left their motherland for persia,just got their empire bigger than past.It was a natural capture.
Reply from Tigren:
Look...history is written by those who won it. In your own land right now there are thousands of half destroyed Armenian churches. I have no desire to argue about politics and history here, because history is analyzed differently. But one thing I agree with you is that Ottoman settlers were very strong. Yes, it is true but when Ottomans came to settle in Asia minor that's when they started their civilized history. Our countries have been bitter neighbors for thousands of years and both have a lot of influences from each other. So, whoever created whatever musical instrument is hard to tell..but we use it, you use it and whatever Armenia consideres its tradition does not mean Turkey cannot consider traditional. All I was saying is that our representatives were showing our culture on stage. They were dressed as ancient armenian queens and they were marvelous. BTW congradulations for making the finalsBy NaRmiShKa 89
Reply from Tigren:
Thank you good luck on the may 14th...By Zeki Uyan
Reply from Tigren:
ok..I didn't mean to bring politics here but I am a history major and Turkey arrived into Asia minor only in 11th century. They won Armenia in Merzikert in 1050 and then moved to Anatolia. Wayyy before that Armenia was already a civilized nation and had musical instruments. There is absolutely no way anyone can tell who came up with Zurna or dhol first..but Armenia and Anatolia have longer history so it is simply natural to believe that they had all these stuff down first. And secondly, I am not being conservative...I just stated that every country should bring something of their own culture into eurovision. And also, the only reason that Turks are first degree relatives to us is because you mixed with greeks, Armenians and romanians. I mean you can't deny that ur ancestors are Seljuks from Mongolia and only thanks to your crusades you were able to settle in asia minor.By Zeki Uyan
Reply from Tigren:
lol..tastes differ...but I only want to remember the songs that are good...so far I gotta say that Turkey has had a pretty impressive eurovision history except in 2005...and so has Greece, Ukraine and Armenia. I also think orginiality is very important to give a piece of ur culture to ur audience. I am proud that my country has done that perfectly this year.By Zeki Uyan
