Not a bad selection if judging by the song writers..but I think Portugal will win Eurovision this year!! Listen to the favourite to win in the portuguese finals in March, Catarina Pereira, which is also written by Andrej Babic "Canta por mim":

New in Town
You don't like "Senhora do mar"? 
I 
it!! 
And as I remember you like Catarina Pereira from Festival de Cancao this year "Canta por mim", that's Babic's song! 
@ Iwona Wegrowska FTW
Offcourse I can't know that, but I just get that feeling looking at the names of composers... I mean WHY do Georgia need to hire these composers? I think most of them have never done anything good in ESC and I can't see any of them bringing in Georgian ethnic sound..
but I hope they will prove me wrong and i'll be happily surprised
Never give in
I hope this is good.
Its the only song title that catches my eye. If its as good as "Is it True" I would want Georgia to win ESC 2010.
@Deyan Petrov
This Sopho is another one! The Sopho from 2007 was Sopho Khalvashi, and the Sopho from this year is Sopho Nizharadze!
Why Sopho again?Aren't there any Georgian singers?
6 songs 6 hopes, sounds nice
@Stian
Who says I don't?
@Layla - oh my god - please lighten up a bit - you get further in life by smiling a bit:-)
@Marko
Yes, but that is ONE song, one song which I haven't even heard in full yet. He also made several other awful songs so it's like 95% awful news, lol. Let's just see how the songs will be.
@Stockholm calling
Yes, but that is a very average and boring ballad too so it's still unpromising. 
@Stian Fikseaunet
And you are a blind moron full of false assumptions like usual.
of course Laila is negative - she is negative to everything! so to me this sounds promising then:-)
seems promising!!!
Laila
Hanne Sörvaag and Harry Sommerdahl wrote this ballad together

This sounds very promising "Visionary Dream" by the other Sopho (LoL) was one of the best songs on Eurovision AMAZING 
I hope that this Sopho sings an equally good song in OSLO Best of luck GEROGIA
Best of Luck Georgia hope you pick the right song
Wait people!
I knew that Laila will be shocked negative, but Laila you gave 7/10 to Manca's song which is Babic's song, who knows, maybe this one will be good, but it's in English I know, so what, still can be great! And New in Town, how do you know that some of those songs won't be with ethnic ellements, there are 5 songs!
@Jan Jan
Iyi geceler!
Iyi Gecheler @Kenan Jan
@Jan Jan
I know, it's nice!
@Kenan please listen once more "Little Red Riding Hood" and be care the humorous childsh sounds and melodies in the background and the wolf growled one or two times the sensory. I think this is really multicoloured and beautiful a work.

I really hope they choose a great song for her, she has a great voice and could do very well with the right song. Does anyone know where I can download the song of hers: "My Dream"? thanks
@Jan Jan
Armenian music is beautiful, too, it's like our Turkish music! That's normal because Turkey and Armenia r in the same place! And u r lucky also, coz Mihran is a well known dancer, he was even the dancer of Madonna, Britney Spears, ...!
@Kenan, Turkish music always beautifull and sucessfull. last year MaNgA won the Best Turkish Act award from MTV Turkey and consequently the Best European Act award from MTV Networks Europe in MTV Europe Music Awards 2009. And They will represent Turkey at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. You are lucky about music ... Congratulations. And I support Maria Kizirian, she really amazing
Georgia has sent two really good entries till now and I even liked last year's almost-entry. I hope for something good this year as well, the singer is very promising.
Good luck!
Do they have so little faith in their own music that they need to hire these bunch?
I was waiting for an ethnic Georgian song, I guess these will be tacky schlager instead
