Today there was a shocking revelation in the Armenian music industry - or perhaps not.

 

There are very few “unique” acts in the Armenian music world today. Most of them have songs written by the same composers, reminiscent of some bizarre mix of French chansons and Armenian folk riffs - it was ok for the first few months, but now its really, really boring.

 

Christine Pepelyan, Nune Yesayan, Artur Grigorian, Arsen Safaryan, and now even Armine Nahapetian - they’re all doing it, same sounds, same songs, same lyrics (nearly).

 

One unique act was “Shprot”, without using her real name, this blonde bombshell created an instant storm with her folk pop song, sung in a village, and Mika petrol station - typically she got criticised for being blonde, for being a bit naughty, and was well known for her “kopit”, or..rough style of conducting interviews. Whilst this may not be to everyones taste, it was really refreshing, because, after all, “pop” music is all about being fresh, and innovative.

 

All that is no more. Today, on live television, sporting a new (unique!) brown hairstyle, Shprot “Came out ” as Ani Tovmasyan. This was talked about for 40 minutes, and highlights included a live apology to all those tv stations that she’d offended during her time as Shprot, and her promising that hew new music would be of a “higher taste, and higher class of language”. She also encouraged everyone to start reading more - obviously this is a reason for her decision to come out - she then performed her new “hit” :

 

Result? Another incredibly boring 4 minutes of music.

 

Oh well, its a shame that as Armenians, we are too proud to admit that sometimes we can be a bit naughty, we can allow ourselves to be influenced by pop culture , and whats worse is that Shprot was talked about by everyone - and now Ani Tovmasyan is going to be another one of those names that is constantly on Armenian television, yet never actually listened to in the street.

 

Perhaps this is good, and a thing to be proud of, but it all makes for very boring showbiz.

Actually Ani is back at her old self again as Shprot. Her newest video is quite naughty. I suppose it didn't take her long to realize that she was too damn boring like the rest of the garbage out there with that 'hit' she put out. BRAVO SHPROT KEEP UP BEING YOURSELF! ;)
