German-Armenian model, pop star and personality Iveta Mukuchyan is a woman on the move. In 2010 she won hearts on Armenia’s Hay Superstar. In 2012 she made it big on The Voice of Germany. Then she was named the Sexiest Woman in Armenia by El Style Magazine. It’s no wonder that Eurofans in Armenia are calling on ARMTV to select her for Eurovision 2015.
Armenia at Eurovision 2015?
For its last three appearances at Eurovision, Armenia’s ARMTV has internally selected its Eurovision singer. Last year the broadcaster revealed Aram Mp3 would sing during a TV gala on New Year’s Eve. Word has it they’ll once again reveal an internally selected candidate in December. Thousands of fans are keeping their fingers crossed for Iveta, who would be the first female Armenian singer since Emmy in 2011.
Iveta on Hay Superstar 4
Born in Armenia, Iveta moved to Germany when she was just five years old. But when she reached her early 20s, her parents suggested she return to the Motherland. She studied jazz vocal performance and within a year found herself rising to prominence during the fourth season of Hay Superstar, the Armenian version of Pop Idol. She finished fifth on the show.
Iveta on The Voice of Germany
Buoyed by her success in Armenia, Iveta tried her luck on The Voice of Germany in 2012. Working with judge and mentor Xavier Kurt Naidoo — aka Kobra — she made it all the way to Week 11. There were flashes of Eurovision greatness even then: She covered Loreen’s “Euphoria” during her audition!
And here she is covering Adele…

What do you think? Would Iveta be a strong candidate for Armenia? Could her German-Armenian background help her appeal to West and East? Does the have the vocals to bring a victory to Yerevan?
Love her,,she is amazing,she is show master,,,,she is masterpice,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, <3
Yes! Iveta would be great. But I heard that Armenia is planning on sending a ballad or something that will not “offend” Armenians. Next year is apparently a bad year for them. With that said, I’m doubtful she’ll be willing to sing a ballad. But it’s all speculation.
I was hoping for Lilit Hovhannisyan with a song like “Requiem” 🙂
Eh. I was thinking Monica Avanesyan.
If Armenia selects her, she will blow Vienna up in flames. I promise. She’s a show monster.
Xavier Kurt Naidoo? Wow, really?!?… living in Germany and never knew or heard that his name is Kurt… it must be true… Wiwibloggs is the only Eurovision page you learn more from!
I love Iveta
‘Target’ <3
I heard her song, her voice is amazing i really want to see her on that stage 🙂
Her fan from Sweden!!!
