"Junior Eurovision" is very important project. In 2007 Armenia debuted in the competition. As main candidates Armenia considered children from "Arevik" band: they were 12 years old, they wrote own songs (according to the rules of competition authors should be also children). Band consisted of 6 children - two vocalists (and songwriters), others performed backing vocals. They had written nearly 6 songs. It was much easier to work with these children than with adults.
They were used to sing live, they danced, jumped around the stage and at the same time had no vocal problems as they had already some professional training. They had already seen a world, used to long journeys, they were learning Enlgish, knew how behave themselves, how to smile and speak with mass-media and listeners. These modern, European children open "door to Europe". The band was already known in Europe and in America: they could almost be considered professionals, and it was much better that Armenia would be represented for the first time by children who wouldn't be afraid of public and responsibility. They were used to pressure. Contest held in December in the Netherlands.
They represented Armenia with a song " Yerazanq" which means dream, and with 136 point took the second place
