Emma Banjanyan, better known as Emmy, was born in Yerevan in 1984. She rose to fame in 1993, when she released her first single "Hayastan". She won award after award at competitions in Armenia, Russia, Turkey and other countries within Europe. From 1994 to 2000, she was part of a female quartet called Hayer. Emmy also runs a music-production company, called Emmy-B Production Centre, in search for new talent within Armenia. In 2010, Emmy, partnered with Mihran, took part in the Armenian National Selection with their song "Hey!(Let Me Hear You Say)". Although scoring top points with the jury, they came third with the public. Overall they placed second, just losing to Eva Rivas.

On the 11th December 2010, it was announced that Emmy had been internally selected to represent Armenia. Her song was decided on the 5th March, with "Boom Boom" being the winner with 3,219 votes from the public and 12 points from the jury. The song was written by Sosi Khanikyan and composed by Hayk Harutyunyan and Hayk Hovhannisyan.

Current Betting Odds (William Hill) - 100/1
My Prediction - Armenia will obviously qualify due to dispora. It has a catchy tune, but I feel the quality of the song, is far less than previous Armenian entries.
