Georgian broadcaster GPB has published the six songs entering the national final to choose the country's entry for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest. The 2010 Georgian representative, Sofia Nizharadze, will perform them on February 27th.

I voted for "Never give in"!!! The worst i think is "call me", even it starts very well! And "Our World" has amazing music!
Anyway, i think Georgia has done a really good job!

The one I like is "Sing My Song". Good luck Georgia!

Since I'm a bit afraid there will be too much ballads, I think she should go with a more uptempo song... but my top three:

1 Call me (reminds me of 'Just a littlebit' by Liberty X)
2 Never give in
3 Shine (best of the ballads)

good luck, I think, if Georgia selects one of these 3 songs, they will probably be in my favorite list. I loved Sopho (actually one of my all time favorites in the past) so Go Sofia!!!!

The songs are hyped up too much. They're nothing special! I like Shine but the verse is EXTREMELY similar to "Underneath My Skin" from Dansk MGP 09!

i mean i love feedback, and call me is quiet good to (as are most of the songs actually) but if kalomoira can get away with using the same beat as timbalands give it to me (listen to both, kalomoira is simply sped up) then this can i guess...




Ms Milne [61416]

the beat on call me is exsactly the same as feedback by janet jackson.....

1-Shine
2-Our World
---------------
3-Never Give In
4-For Eternity
5-Sing My Song
---------------
6-Call Me

I think Georgia could be a potential winner with either of my top 2. Songs 3 to 5 would make decent entries. I'm not so keen on my number 6 'Call Me'.

So i'm hoping for 'Shine' or 'Our World' to Oslo!

i hope Tsvika Pick song will lose.
and im so happy he didnt was choosen to have one of his songs sang by Harel Skaat.
Tsvika Pick is the most disgusting Israeli figure. a snob man that thinks the sun rise out from his a**
he thonk that only his music is good to European ears. always go down on young musicians saying they dont understand nothing in music.
i hate this old guy that think the 2 hairs on his head are the most fashionable thing.
tsvika. i hope your song to win last place in Georgia.

Quelle surprise, no songs in Georgian! Ladies and gentemen, please welcome the nations of the former Soviet Union and Scandinavia, the people who take the Euro out of Eurovision!

Hope Georgia's one will be the last slow music!!

Shine or For Eternity !!!!

I will spam the article below as much as it is necessary, as I want to go to ESC on my car so let it be or in Tbiliso or in Yerevan. So I repeat:

Georgia, send etthno music, Your music and dances are uniq and beautiful, the day you will do that you will be more close to the victory!! After my holidays in Kabuleti I got in love once more time with your ethnik music and dances, At least you could send something like "SUS, SUS!!!"

Goodluck Sakartvelo!

Our World is the best song... did anyone else think of Avatar when you heard it? :P

Indeed Togravus, I am sad. Sad and fed up.

On a more positive note, hi Karen! Karen's lines on that show were very cleverly written. Good choice, M.!

Oh, Victoria Mahu's 'Padure, verde padure' has been disqualified? That will make Shevek terribly sad. And 'Wait!' is out too??? Honestly, the whole Moldovan preselection business is a total farce ... I couldn't care less. Hope they find a strong song in the end. Good luck!

I'm still waiting for Georgia to submit something in their own language. If the Georgians are so proud of their culture, why don't they send something in Georgian? I mean, the Armenians had it easy by submitting several entries in both Armenian & English.

I didn't mean you, I credit you with more intelligence than that ;)


Timoteij in Town dancing Horehronie

It's a complete farce that Leylla hasn't even been included in the Moldovan selection. Many people, including myself, think it is the best song. Obviously they don't want her to represent Moldova, for whatever reason.

@karen W

Moldovan songs that are out:
Ionel Istrati - Wait! (I wanna cry because this one is out)
Olia Tira - Goodbye
Sun Stroke Project - Believe
Victoria Mahu – Padure, verde padure
Alex White – Towards the sky

Oh. yeah, Leylla is still not in :(

I think Georgia have a great selection here and an awesome singer. Especially considering most of the choices so far.
But after only one listen I find chosing a favourite hard because they seem so similar. Apart from call me which I don't think really suits her. Anyway I think Georgia will be one of the best this year. GOOD LUCK GEORGIA

All songs are great, but I think "Sing my song" and "Shine" are better for live performance.


Axel Kearns [47152]

I must admit, these all sound good and promising... I do not really have a favorite as yet but I think (looking at all the slow crap already chosen) that a good uptempo song would fit the bill better.....
