[MENTION=14007]lavieenrose[/MENTION], whatever you've given this entry I imagine is about to turn into a 12 after having watched this video.


Oto, a man of impeccable taste.

Wow. I truly cannot pretend like "Kermit the Frog covering 'Strong Enough' by noted singer Robert Cher while wearing a sequined top which truly does not fit and surrounding himself with backing dancers doing their best Sharice Davids impressions, oh yeah and this is all happening in Georgia" is not the truest summation of my aesthetic ever provided to this planet. I gave this my personal thumbs up and 8 points but am now seriously reconsidering that 8 and questioning an upgrade. If only this were his entry.

He is my new number one, officially he dethroned Sisters..

Have you checked other 2 songs..they are brilliant..

Liza's ballad is a ballad I'd like to see at ESC..and she looks like from fairytale.. :)

I have heard the songs! :D You know this song was this year the most unexpected one for me … compared to Conan, for example, I rooted for him Right from the beginning. I didn't follow Georgia's shows, so I had absolutely NO idea. And then coming here for the winner's song, listening to it and falling in love instantly … his voice his pure magic! :D I have the Feeling that he will dethrone Conan soon on my list...

Hands down. This is the dullest song of the year so far. Maybe it will grow on me? :?

Re: GEORGIA 2019 - Oto Nemsadze - Sul Tsin Iare

Language is just that. A language. I think Azerbaijan is way overdue for a song in azeri.
At the same time Portugal for example needs to spice things up with some english every once in a while.

Language is not "just a language", different languages have their own characteristics and sounds that clearly also flow differently in music, changing one language to the other changes the dynamics. Language is identity, culture and it's a whole scientific doctrine (ask any linguist out there) and yeah, why Eurovision fans out of all people want to only hear English is beyond me...

with that said... a bad song probably won't get much better regardless of language, and musical taste is subjective, but to deny that different languages add different characteristics and to even promote the idea that all should be in English is just odd in this context and kind of contrary to the idea of the contest.

Not sure how something can be regarded as "spiced up" when it's a lingua franca used in the vast majority of entries and is the standard language of most international songs out there xshrug ... I think Portugal (and in this case Georgia) are rather "spicing it up" by going against the norm.

I love how you completely ignored my comment about azerbaijan xrofl2

The thing with portugal, (france and italy also) is that they're too predictale. And I was only using english as an example. It doesn't have to be english at all. I'd be down for Portugal randomly sending a song in greek, because why not. xwoo

Well, I agree with that statement about Azerbaijan... but that wasn't the "controversial" part since it seems even Anglophilians in here agree on that :lol:

I think English in this day and age is super predictable... well if one view Eurovision as a way to represent your country, sending a song in Greek if being the Portuguese entry is kind of random :lol: at least with English, even if generic, it is the lingua franca so that kind of makes sense ... but yeah, I mean if the original song chosen was done in English then so be it, but to wish a song chosen in the language of the country to be changed to English because I dunno... then it's odd...

But hey... I guess my opinion is commonly known already so :lol:

I don't see myself as "Anglophilian". I'm indifferent most of the time. In 27 national finals, i had 14 winners who sang in a national language and 13 winners who sang in a foreign language. I know that a lot of countrues didn't gave me much choice to begin with, so that's not that accurate, but still.. fun fact :D

I'm just happy San Marino has better chances of qualifying as we have an almost guaranteed dead last place in SF1.

Re: GEORGIA 2019 - Oto Nemsadze - Sul Tsin Iare

I think opinions on this entry will change for the better once we receive a studio version of it, complete with a music video (I don't think the winter coat + man bun fantasy is helping anyone here really at the moment apart from me and about five other people). You couldn't point me to a more powerful (whilst being tuneful) vocalist this year. The song might not be to everyone's tastes, but I think people are sleeping on Oto. His song I feel would benefit from strengthening of its ethnic elements particularly in the verses. At the moment it sounds like a song that's just won Festivali i kenges. That's my thing to a tee, but I can understand why others wouldn't be feeling it as much. I hope they have enough time for some touch ups as this so has the strength in it to reach the final. People are underestimating the force of just Oto's voice alone here. He's earth-shatteringly good. And whilst half the artists this year are on Nytol tablets, something big and epic surely has the power to count for something.

I'm so happy this will be at the contest. I'm actually starting to think Oto could finish the year as my ultimate favourite. I haven't been able to stop myself from listening to this entry since it was selected. Vaarada varada, varada rada hee. Vaarada varada, varada rada heexheat

Some parts have good potential, but overall, I find it very bland and his vocals are very offputing:( I think this is yet another NQ for :ge: sadly.
