Gayane jan, Here’s a professional singer after your heart who has been inspired by Lusine Zakaryan. I hope her dreams will come true.
We all soulfully wish
That Nerkararyan Angelic Voice Sourp…Sourp
Reaches every god
Who forgot sufferings
Of the honest nations
And to every denailist
And shake their
Stagnated cyanotic devilish souls
Fore… to recognize the Armenian genocide

Gayane jan, Yes she does have a beautiful voice.
For an Armenian classical singer Sona Ghazarian is my inspiration. Otherwise Elisabeth Schwarzkopf has been and is still my inspiration.
Here’s a couple from Sona Ghazarian:
