Aram MP3 has been the favourite to win Eurovision Song Contest 2014 since he released his song “Not Alone”. There seems to be no stopping people from looking at the cinematic video to his song that has now 2.5 million views on YouTube. Could things be about to change following his recent alleged homophobic comments that have been reported in the Armenian press.
"I am pretty disappointed that from the very first day when Public TV announced Aram MP3 as Armenia representative in Eurovision, he started making homophobic and transphobic remarks, especially in relation to Austrian representative in Eurovision. I am sure Eurovision fans in Europe, including many LGBT people, won’t be impressed to learn about Aram MP3 statements so far," writes ArtMika on his blog Unzipped: Gay Armenia, referring to Armenia's entry to the popular European song contest.
Firstly were his comments made at his selection. He was asked of what he thought of the inclusion of Conchita Wurst at this year’s contest he replied that for him it’s “not normal”, “not adequate” and joked that “hopefully, we will help her to eventually decide whether she is a woman or man”.
