Our reaction to Parg's Eurovision 2025 song for Armenia — SURVIVOR. The song, written by Melodifestivalen songwriters Thoams G:son and Peter Boström, has strong Melfest vibes. But is it too generic for Eurovision? We review its rock sound, Parg's stage presence and vocals, and whether Armenia can qualify for the final. We watch the live performance from AMPTV's Depi Evratestil 2025 final.

France has confirmed that Louane will sing for the country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.

She also offers advice for others coping with the loss of loved ones. From winning a César Award for Most Promising Actress to topping the French charts to winning fans on The Voice of France, Louane has a storied career already.
