I can't claim I know much about Armenian except that it features a bunch of consonant clusters and other sounds that practically require plastic surgery to be able to produce them accurately :-) While I'm sure the the letter
in Qele qele represents a stop sound that's produced somewhere in the pharynx while squeezing your diaphragm and turning blue in the face, it still sounds like a boring unvoiced and unaspirated velar stop /k/to me. And therefore qele to me sounds like -kele, the way a certain swearword in Finnish is pronounced when one wants to spare the ears of infants and other weak in mind :-) So this one gets the tee hee hee prize of the year...!
As for the song itself (huh?), this was quite a number: a juicy cocktail spiced with exotic sounds and rhythms. The jiggling boob factor accented by voluptuously swaying hips should push, shove, and thrust this one to the finals...

Armenian Shakira sounds exotic indeed. But unfortunately the song doesn't really get anywhere.
