Re: GEORGIA 2019 - Oto Nemsadze - Sul Tsin Iare

Certainly is dramatic and he has an impressive voice, but I don't think this is very much my thing. I couldn't care for the lyrics, and happy they're not in English. Really, if it is a nationalistic song, it amuses me when they're english and not their native language. Feeling so nationalistic, but in English! I'll give this 6 as a top half of the middle, because I don't mind it and it's not a boring sleeping pill but really, I don't think i'll be back in this topic.

A very interesting voice, unfortunatelly his song doesn´t belong to my favorites so far, 6 points in the voting.

Just listened to the song a couple of times, and... I think it's pretty good?

I'll need a lot more time with this to decide whether my opinion is "decent", "great", or anything in between, but it's got some emotion to it, it's not mainstream radio pop and Oto's voice works really well here, so I at least appreciate it. I'll hold off on giving points for now though.

Happy to see Rainy getting another winner he likes too

THE GOOD:
-He's a pretty good vocalist and that shows in the song.
-Overall, I like what the song is going for.

THE BAD:
-His vocals can be grating, especially towards the end of the song.
-While they're good, there are barely any instrumentals to speak of. I feel that this is a missed opportunity to make them pop out more.

THE VERDICT:
Well, if this song doesn't qualify for the Final, I think I have a couple of ideas about why that will be. For one, he is a pretty good vocalist...when he's not singing from the gut, that is. Because he sings like he does in the song, maybe that is contributing to the instrumentals barely being heard. This entry is not a winner, and I don't even know if it'll qualify for the Final. If it does, it'll be by the skin of its teeth. 7 points

Woah, did not expect a decent entry coming from Georgia. I like the dramatic feel of it and his vocals, I suppose it is a song about the Russian invasion? It sounds like a war anthem, Georgia preparing to take over the world. This is how you do ballads.

The most impressive display of vocals for me so far of 2019. Oto whips the butt of his song so hard, it's not even funny. It's the huge, dramatic entry I was sorely missing this year, and it's done so very well. It's the perfect case of an artist taking something decent enough by itself and then lifting it to a whole other level with their interpretation, in a similar way to what Loredana Berte did actually in San Remo this year. Both make their songs sound humongous. Oto's voice really is fantastic. Listening to him is a moment, and I needed some of those to look forward to this May. Glad I tuned in tonight to see Oto win as he will go quite some way to making my 2019 a bit better. The lead vocalist of Iriao on backing as well even It's too good.


I think this will be my fourth 12 points for Georgia in six years, sealing their position as one of my current favourite Eurovision countries.

Not in love... not with Oto's voice and not with this song. Although it has some rather interestings parts here and there.

Re: GEORGIA 2019 - Oto Nemsadze - Sul Tsin Iare

The drama in the last 45 seconds is kinda good but that's the only good thing I can say about it.

Big M-E-H. 3 pts ... Georgia from 15/16 where you at :-(

Re: GEORGIA 2019 - Oto Nemsadze - Sul Tsin Iare

After our NF finished, I checked this and I was stunned, I think I found my new number one, but I have to calm down a bit cause of euphoria of our NF...and I came immediately to see what [MENTION=9441]RainyWoods[/MENTION] wrote on this, I had some feeling he loved this and also loved Liza Kalandadze's ballad who I also checked and liked A LOT....but Otto stunned me on the first listen..because I have never experienced smth similar at ESC..while for Liza I can’t say so..it’s not new for me..his composition is better IMO..she is better for results maybe fro Georgia,. but I’m maybe selfish..

That atmosphere, that vocal, those backings.. :?

Georgia, I you!

Re: GEORGIA 2019 - Oto Nemsadze - Sul Tsin Iare

Okay .. I have to admit that this year I cared less for Georgia … and now I return and listen to this … absolutely amazing, fantastic song … I loved Georgia's entry last year and I love this one. It is so unexpected, but it was love at first listening. What should I say? What a strong voice, what a song … 12 pts …

Re: GEORGIA 2019 - Oto Nemsadze - Sul Tsin Iare

I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't this. This is a really cool song and much more my type than the other ballads that have been chosen recently. Well done, Georgia!

8 points for now but I can see it growing on me more.

I read somewhere that the lyrics have political meaning but i cannot find a correct translation!

Re: GEORGIA 2019 - Oto Nemsadze - Sul Tsin Iare

Are we watching the same show? That song is just "Qami" in Georgian, no matter if Oto is a better vocalist than Sevak Khanagyan or not. Who would actually pay money and vote for it? That song simply will not connect with the critical masses. As such, it will NQ in all anonimity (and ftr: so shall Serbia, which is another average, anonymous ballad in this SF)

Re: GEORGIA 2019 - Oto Nemsadze - Sul Tsin Iare

I was fair and i gave it 0 points! After reading so positive reviews here i gone t facebook and found more people that hate it!
But now i want to learn if it has political meaning so i can hate it even more!

Re: GEORGIA 2019 - Oto Nemsadze - Sul Tsin Iare

Any political connotation matters fuck all. The song is in Georgian, after all.

This is an entry I was expecting to be bad... I was surprised because I actually really like it

That lady with short blonde hair, in golden dress, I suppose a juror, standing and smiling, slightly dancing though the performance is EVERYTHING!

Old-fashioned, terrible styling, don't like his voice - points only because it's better than .
