I like it! While I'm not quite as much in love as some people here (I'm not yet fully sold on the lyrics; grunge influences are never really my kind of thing; etc. etc.), this is still an impressive entry and it's so very, very nice to get an out-of-left-field, authentic song like this in among the sea of midtempo pop chosen lately. Please keep up the originality, Georgia 
8 points for now, with some decent potential to change either way going forward. It's good to have you here, Tornike!

I am not sure how to feel about it yet, in theory I should like it way more than I currently do. It is grunge-y (and I love grunge) and quite non-Eurovision-y so it's more than fine in my book. My favourite element about it is the 2nd chorus with this beautiful & smooth switch of instrumentation in the background. Tornike is a very good vocalist should be mentioned. It might be the lyrics that turn me off a little bit.

Bravo Georgia, you surprised me pleasantly. 
EDIT: I can agree with Zorjan about the lyrics, but i still enjoy the song.

The odds, the reception, the poll... isn't this the most well received georgian entry since Nina?
However, I definitely prefer Oto. Don't get me wrong, I like this too, but I enjoy my rock with more 1. tempo 2. momentum. And this is lacking both to me. Also, did any of you also feel that it ends out of the blue? Because I had this feeling.
Still, I'm glad Georgia is sending this because rock was definitely needed and it's gonna stand out in a bunch of ballads, bangers and quirky bops. Hopefully it grows on me, but for now it's a.

Now lets move on to !!
I´d like to start with the positive things. This is really the best Georgian ESC entry for me so far!! I really like his voice and and the rhythm of this song, and unlike others here in the thread I don´t mind the lyrics.
But my problems with this song are basically the same that @anaraqueen mentioned. For a rock song I miss the "wow-factor" and I´m waiting the whole time that the song "explodes", but instead it´s over then.
At the moment I give this entry, with some potential to grow.

I'm conflicted because I want to like this more than I do now. I mean, the guy has the voice of a rocker, that alone would score high points in my book, and I'm more than fine with grunge influence but... I dunno, I think for one it would benefit being longer. And there're the lyrics too.
Objectively, there are all the elements for me to give it a 12, but I don't connect with it so... it will be a for now, with the hope of it growing on me.

Georgia never fails me. I'm so thankful for this country when it comes to Eurovision these past years! I LOVE this - love the message, his voice, the arrangement, the female touch with the backing vocalists, the languages, and my nerd self is so happy he's bringing German back to the contest even it's only that bit lmao.
I was expecting something more upbeat, but I know that's just my problem and the way I thought this would turn out. I think that won't happen to someone who is listening to the song for the first time.

I'm not entirely sold on this, but it's better than most entries this year. With that, I'll give him an 8

for Anaraqueen? You’re not the same one who said "O my God! Some countries are bringing 90's music! 
” Have you got a flu, Your Majesty?!#thatGodsaveAnaraqueen!
Post scriptum: maybe today the rhythms and masterpieces that gave us the 90s were back!

Mumble mumble ... Yes, it seemed to me that it was you who said it. Maybe I'm wrong ... it was certainly Alaska49 and BorisBubble who love catchy music. But ... from your votes, if I'm not mistaken, you also loved catchy music and hated old-fashioned songs.
Nah, I have no problem with old fashioned if it's from a style that I like. Give me dated 90s eurodance songs and I'll be praising it and giving them 12 points and my soul
