Introducing 2013: Georgia!

I have decided to take a look at each entry this year, in a lead-up to the contest! There are 39 countries participating this year, all aiming to win in Malmo (well, some don't wanna win!) Turkey, Portugal, Slovakia and Bosnia & Herzegovina decided to withdraw this year, which was a shame, so lets hope they'll decide to return for 2014! I have drawn all the countries randomly and today it's Georgia's turn...

Nodi Tatishvili & Sophie Gelovani - Waterfall!

For the first time ever, Georgia selected their entry internally. Nodi and Sophie were confirmed as the representatives for Georgia just before the new year, then the song was released in February - on a Wednesday if I remember correctly! The ballad is composed by Thomas G:son - an ESC legend, who wrote Spain's fantastic entry last year and Euphoria! A winning recipe? Maybe!

They gave a really solid performance last week in Amsterdam. Hopefully the stage presentation in Malmo can lift it even more! I think Georgia would make a great host country. Azerbaijan did it in 2012 and Armenia has hosted Junior Eurovion! Maybe it's time for them. Georgia will compete in the second semi final, between Albania and Switzerland - this is one of the best songs this year and I think they will qualify with ease. Then a top ten is likely in the final, maybe top five, maybe a winner?

Like I am sailing on a sea of dreams Your love is pouring down on me like a Waterfall...

Here it is...

On stage in Amsterdam...

Thank the lord Georgia is not sending something like this...

SATURDAY'S HINT - SHE WILL SHINE!
