Black Sabbath guitarist praises Armenia’s Eurovision contestant (videos)

Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has praised this year’s Armenian Eurovision participant, Gor Sujyan, and his band, Dorians.

"Well here's something different, one of my demo ideas has been chosen as the Armenian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest!,” the musician wrote on his official website. “It went on a short list and Saturday night was voted as the winner. I did the music and the performing band Dorians wrote the lyrics, it's called 'Lonely Planet'. They're a good band, the singer has a really good voice and the lyrics they've written are in English. It now goes to the semi-final on May 16th in Malmo, Sweden.”

Sujyan was selected to represent Armenia at the Eurovision 2013 Song Contest during a live voting broadcast by the Armenian Public Television.
