"Firefighter" is good and messy at the same time, however the messiness is overtaking it. Especially towards the end. I really enjoy the first few minutes, and the "put out the fire" part is annoingly earworm-y, it's just that the production doesn't do the song much justice. It has a clear identity, but it doesn't really reach for it enough... And I don't think the english lyrics help it any further tbh.

Too much shouting. And it does not have some wow factors. Just meh, loud, shouty song which goes nowhere. Put out the fire, I see the ashes. Over and over again. Iru stood better chances at qualifying than this and she also was bit too shouty for the crowd likings.

I don't like the song that much, but Nutsa is so awesome. So much energy and power, and I like that she already did choreo here (and her vocals were still fire).
Hopefully they don't mess up the staging, because Nutsa can absolutely out-perform enough other acts in SF2 to qualify. And tbh... I wouldn't be shocked if this would be the girl Bop the judges end up liking this year over Austria, Cyprus & Co. Bcs from what we've seen, Nutsa is clearly the best vocalist in that group.

Today it was time for at the ESC kompakt songchecks 2024.
esc-kompakt.de
The verdict of the bloggers:
Benny - Firefighter” simply rushes past me and leaves me completely unimpressed. A very boring song. And then I don´t know what else I should say...
Berenike - Personally, I generally can't do much with such female "vocal acrobatic songs". In “Firefighter,” Nutsa’s voice may be objectively good, but to me it just sounds loud and doesn’t convey much emotion. The well-known Fuego replay scheme is used here, which is really not innovative anymore. I find the drum beats in the song quite interesting at least.
Douze Points - “The ceiling is falling, the windows are burning” – an interesting image. Otherwise a song that can only work on the big stage with a lot of fuss. Very energetic, sometimes aggressive – and ultimately not catchy enough.
Flo - "Dramatic" is probably a good way to describe Firefighter". Nevertheless, the verses are quite pleasing, but the pre-chorus and the transition to the chorus are too intentional for me. And filling so much time with the beat shows a bit of lack of imagination when it comes to the composition.
Manu - For me personally, Georgia continues seamlessly where it finished last year. Female singing, drums and electro beats should be enough for the final this time. The tempo is a little quicker and Nutsa's voice sounds a little more pleasant. The built-in musical break with harder electro sounds screams for a dance break, which is already celebrated in the video. A song that has to compete musically with Cyprus, Luxembourg, Albania and Malta this year, but could be lucky.
Max - Georgia is going mainstream – a bit. In fact, the Caucasus country doesn't often manage to convince me and “Firefighter” isn't one of my favorites this year either. It's still a well-produced pop song, the kind that Cyprus usually produces. Nutsa is also a very interesting artist.
Peter - “Firefighter” isn’t really my thing. The song is relatively brittle, but again not bulky, brittle or innovative enough to capture me. Nutsa has an elegant charisma and a lot of energy, but the song has nothing that you can use as a retrospective reference.
Rick -Hardly any other song this year exudes as much energy and self-confidence as “Firefighter”. I really like the number stylistically and relies on a very strong, international-sounding production. But only Nutsa will make the song truly recognizable on stage, I think. Hopefully not with TOO much power - I suspect she has a tendency to exaggerate. The last thing the number needs is to turn into a series of long, loud notes. For now, I give it for the studio cut.

It's not a great song IMO but I think Nutsa can elevate it enough to qualify

Georgia really need some magic or fire to pull this off.
After seeing the first rehearsal, I can say it was lit af and spectacular.
It was unfortunate that they missed out on a spot on staging last year. But this time, let's hope they can pull this off.

there's only so much you can do with a poor composition.
I think they're making the most use of Nutsa they can, and that's the way to go it. The only way into the finale is to tap her talent.

This exactly. The song isn't great, it's all about Nutsa and I believe that she will get them through to the final

Rehearsals already upgraded this song for me. It's... okay-ish on it's own, but Nutsa is an absolute powerhouse. Great vocals, and that with choreo. And she has energy, charisma, and visible fun on stage. Imagine how good she could be with a great song.
For now, I also think this will Q. 110% thanks to Nutsa.
