One of the most overrated countries.
OMG that is pretty shameful, 13 lol well they might as well just let all 13 participate in the national final, it would be the actual only full national selection where every entry that wants to enter ESC is taking part
i liked georgia's 2007 entry.. hope something like that
Another song from this selection http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ur8d2F0l6Q
Georgia has never let me down so far, so I expect something good from them. Good luck!
lol, only 13. What happened, where is Hanne Sørvaag and the Swedes when you need them? :D But seriously, for all we know there could be a great song among these. Rema's song isn't that bad and I like that almost half of the submissions come from bands, lol.
MF entries sound the same or weak under your own point of view drusus, not the majority's obviously... Anyway hopefully there will be a good entry here but I believe it takes some quantity as well in order to have more chances to have quality..
Georgia presented last year the best song and performance.
I only know "The Georgians", never heared about the rest - so I'll wait for the songs. Last years entry was one of my favs., so I guess there's some potential this year too. PS: About the number of submitted songs: it just needs one good song and one good singer in the end, that's all, What's the use of getting hundrends of entries which all sound similar, are composed by the same old bunch of composers and are musically weak? Listen to the MF to know what I mean....
Not much interest but they may have some good stuff there!Good luck Georgia.Last year "One more day" was among my favorites!
Popular choice !!!
Georgian people aren't willing to Eurovision. But I don't know why so. Eldrine was really awesome in Dusseldorf. I think Georgians support them. But apparently, Georgians don't like Eurovision anymore.
Quantity is not a quality!
Hi! This is a very low number of entries received by the broadcaster, especially when you consider their two top 10 places. I already have an early favorite to win the Georgian final: Leo Jee (Levan Jibladze) - "It's my life". It's such a beautiful song. I love it! Good luck Georgia!
@ oxi allo karvouno Oh plz, I hope not, 2011 was a nightmare entry from Georgia. If they send something even half as good as their debut one, it can be good. They really started out on top and then just dropped in quality directly at their second try.
@ Kamil J I guess that's the charm in different taste. It's funny though how the same song can get two such different reactions.
Best of luck, Sakartvelo...and pls send sth similar to your 2011 great entry.
Boris Bedia again??? This guy makes me tired... Georgia, go back to the good times and pick something like Sopho Khalvashi, please. I must admit that Sofia Nizharadze wasn't bad either.
Jokhadze...lol I don't like....He was participated 10+10 in Armenia wwith Eva Rivas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGub-WheH1Q&feature=related
OK, I bet already on Georgia's win in ESC 2012... :P So.. GO GEORGIAAAAA
Eurovision-God, give us Poland back, you can have Georgia instead.
If Georgia 2011 was awful, probably i knew totally different song from Georgia as their official entry than you, Euro Lover ;) Only 13 acts? I really wonder why... but few of them are really popular in Georgia (for example Anri Jokhadze , Boris Bedia or metal band Industrial City)
Why such a dramatic decrease of the interest in Georgia ? They hadd 2 succesful entries, not to mention the fact they won JESC again..It's unexplainable..I mean..13 entries ?!? really ?!?
I only really liked their debut entry, they have yet to come close to that. 2010 was decent but kind of generic. 2011 was juvenile and awful and 2008 was pretty bad too. @ Galandar Baghirov Georgia is poor, it's all about priorities really. However, they are still successful in ESC, being top. 10 (or almost) at each try. I hope for something ethnic or interesting as their debut entry.
Yes, but they are succesfull actually, weird attitude....
13? That's it? Seems a bit lacklustre, doesn't it? Did they all have to be Georgian this time?
Georgia is one of the most passive ex-USSR countries at ESC. It seems they do not care about ESC much ))
