[ESC United Mod Team]

I'm still sore about Circus Mircus NQ last year, it was no surprise, but I really liked that song.

Anyway this year I am hopeful for a good entry and something that brings Georgia back to the final.

Don't know if this is trustworthy, but this guy on Twitter has apparently heard the song and said it was great.

"Liverpool is not ready for this. People will be shocked".

Blah, blah, blah. Okay, impress me

This sounds like what Ireland said before they revealed painfully beige "Story of My Life".

A Georgian guy with Iru as his cover photo is saying the Georgian song is great? He sounds unbiased

 

[BorisBubbles]

Totally unreliable, lol. If random Twitter twinks got to hear the song, snippets of it would have already leaked everywhere.

We know not a thing about Iru's song, ergo unreliable.

Still, release already.

we know that the composer is giga kukhhianidze, the composer of 3/4 of thé Georgian songs in the junior contest, and he had a lot of success in it... Let's see what he's gonna bring in adult but i think it will be good

All they need to do is find a way to submit Candy Music without being caught by the rules.

 

[mauve]

Well, for me Georgia is one of the best ESC-countries and didn't fail to impress me the last years ... I hope it won't change this year!

 

[tsegaye]

"Echo" will be released this Thursday.

Come thru, powerful diva in Georgian flag colors

 

[HarryUK]

Why do I feel a major slay is incoming

I don't say that often, but Iru is giving off way more winning vibes than Loreen at this point and I'm dead serious. It looks out of this world. She just comes across as a flower that just bloomed (the clothing is impressive as well).

Do any of you know why Georgia is such an indie rock bastion? I'm not talking about this years entry, but in general. I've been wondering about this for a long time... Placement on the map... far away from where grunge and indie was born. Or am I ignorant?

Dunno but is a very indie/alternative country in terms of music.
I was lucky and spent a whole month in Georgia and stayed at a friend´s places.

In Tbilissi, you´ll find tons of lounges and clubs playing jazz or heavy EDM/trance (without vocals) - even clubs or parties which were "LGTBQ+-friendly". It was really strange to not hear any Britney, GaGa, Madonna, Kylie at such nights.
From what I´ve heard, also former ESC participants like Nina Sublatti and Co. create very different music - I just think it´s such a strange, no, I should rather say unique country in terms of music, language, culture(s) and even cuisine... it´s really wonderful and interesting!

She looks beautiful. Love the red hair and her style. I hope the song is good!

Georgia sounds like my musical paradise! I was in the midst of it 10 and 15 years ago (in Norway and US/Canada) but us freaks always hung out in spesific, smaller areas. Just thinking about having a whole country like that - wow! You're lucky to have been there. Still very strange how a western invention ended up in Georgia... / Thank you, Mainshow, I'm tempted to see this place now.

I really do have a feeling Georgia will be a contender this year.
I mean if the composer goes anywhere near the direction of the style and quality he has used in his JESC entries it's really not surprising at all if that's the case.
70% of Georgian JESC entries would be 300x more competitive at the main ESC than what they usually send, while keeping the quirky/originality factor and the high quality factor as well.
