Georgia: Over 300 songs were submitted for Nutsa Buzaladze’s Eurovision entry!

Natia Mshvenieradze, the head of the Georgian delegation, discussed the country’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest this year in an interview broadcast on Georgian national television.

More precisely, she stated that over 300 songs were submitted for Nutsa Buzaladze‘s Eurovision entry, the most of which are signed by international songwriters. Although the process of assessing the nominated songs has commenced, an obvious favourite is not yet apparent. Nutsa herself will evaluate the submissions and she will ultimately decide which song she will perform in Malmö.

The information above confirms the exclusive information we revealed a few days ago, which stated that several well-known composers—mostly from abroad—submitted their proposals to Georgian public television.

More specifically, many prominent musicians, including some that have previously participated in Eurovision or national finals, mainly in Northern Europe, have sent in proposals. Their submissions contain a variety of intriguing songs, including dance tracks. Furthermore, Nutsa Buzaladze has disclosed her preference openly, saying that she wants to make people dance.

Since Georgia hasn’t been to the grand final of Eurovision since 2016, the public’s hopes have increased upon learning that Nutsa Buzaladze will represent the country in 2024. Furthermore, in the past 24 hours, the country has moved up 25 spots in the betting odds, currently holding the 10th spot

Who is Nutsa Buzaladze?

The international songstress from Tbilisi has participated in (and won) many different song contests over her career, including a top 12 finish at American Idol in 2023 where she performed a duet with Kylie Minogue on her classic track “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”.

In recent years, Nutsa has lived in both Los Angeles (where she wrote, performed and shot music videos) and Dubai (where she signed a contract with Theater Dubai and performed at Expo) but calls Georgia home.

In 2019 she released her debut album under the name Nutsa22, covering not only Georgian songs but also compositions in English, but it was Gelodebi that became her breakout hit leading her to tour the country with a live band.

Eurovision 2024: The Semi-Final Allocation Draw Results!

Malmö with a very nice event hosted a few minutes ago the draw for the semi-finals of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest.

The analyzes of the fans and not only, have been on fire for a few minutes now. Since the theories based on the pre-history of the countries in the competition, it is a first insight into how passable the qualification to the final is or not. In other words, it’s time to make our predictions, about who will go through to the final and who are the favorites to say goodbye to Malmö early…

The presenters and the handover ceremony

Presenters of the Eurovision 2024 semi-final draw were Pernilla Månsson Colt and Farah Abadi. It is worth mentioning that Pernilla Månsson Colt was also the presenter of the corresponding draw in 2013, eleven years ago when Malmö hosted the Eurovision Song Contest for the last time. Both of them are part of the SVT staff, being some of the most beloved faces of the Swedish state broadcaster.

During the draw, the ceremony of handing over and accepting the emblem of the contest took place. The mayor of Liverpool, Steven Rotheram, formally handed over the “keys to the event” to the mayor of Malmö, Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh.

Draw Procedure

Big 5 and Sweden

With the big winner of last year’s competition, Sweden, directly in the final, along with the Big 5 (UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain), the first part of the draw determined the semi-final that the direct finalists would vote for.

Will vote in the 1st Semi-Final:

  • Sweden
  • United Kingdom
  • Germany

Will vote in the 2nd Semi-Final:

  • Spain
  • Italy
  • France

In the semi-final that the six aforementioned countries were drawn to broadcast and vote for, the video from their dress rehearsal will also be shown. This was done at Eurovision 2016 for the first time, for reasons of equal exposure of the countries directly in the final and the countries that qualify from the semi-finals. Essentially, viewers see each entry twice during the shows.

Semi-Final Allocation Draw

The allocation draw for the two semi-finals had two parts. In the first part the 31 countries participating in the semi-finals were drawn in which of the two they will compete in. Fifteen countries will compete in the first semi-final and sixteen in the second semi-final.

In the second part, each country learned whether it will appear in the first or second half of the semi-final in which it will compete. The exact order of appearance will be determined by the EBU and the show’s producers at a later date.

  • Cyprus
  • Poland
  • Serbia
  • Lithuania
  • Croatia

Eurovision 2024: Tonight the Allocation Draw!

At 19:00 CET and live from Malmö, Sweden, the draw for the Eurovision 2024 semi-finals will take place tonight.

During today’s event, there will also be a handover of the event’s banner from the city of Liverpool to the city of Malmö. For this reason, both the Mayor of Liverpool, Steven Rotheram, and the Mayor of the Swedish city, Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh, will be present at today’s draw.

The hosts

The hosts of tonight’s draw for the semi-finals of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest will be Pernilla Månsson Colt and Farah Abadi. It is worth mentioning that Pernilla Månsson Colt was the presenter of the equivalent draw in 2013, eleven years ago when Malmö hosted the Eurovision Song Contest for the last time.

The draw procedure

The first part of the draw will determine which semi-final will be broadcast and voted for by each of the six countries that are directly in the final on 11 May (Sweden, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom).

The second part of the draw will determine which semi-final and which half the other 31 participating countries will compete in. As in recent years, the exact order of appearance will be determined by the event producers at a later date.

Georgia: Renowned songwriters submitted their songs for Nutsa Buzaladze! | EXCLUSIVE

The world-famous Nutsa Buzaladze will represent Georgia in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, which will take place in Malmö in May, as revealed a few days ago by the country’s public broadcaster, GPB.

The GPB launched a submission platform a few hours after Nutsa Buzaladze was announced as Georgia’s representative at Eurovision 2024. Through this platform, interested musicians can submit their proposals, and the most suitable one will ultimately be chosen to represent the country at the contest.

The deadline for submissions is tomorrow. However, additional information on the selection procedure for the song that Nutsa Buzaladze will perform in Malmö in May of next year has not yet been revealed. The most likely scenario is that the top submissions will participate in a focus group where the song will ultimately be chosen.

According to our exclusive information, some well-known composers have already shown interest. Many prominent musicians, including some that have previously participated in Eurovision or national finals, mainly in Northern Europe, have sent in proposals. Their submissions contain a variety of intriguing songs, including dance tracks. Furthermore, Nutsa Buzaladze has disclosed her preference openly, saying that she wants to make people dance.

Since Georgia hasn’t been to the grand final of Eurovision since 2016, the public’s hopes have increased upon learning that Nutsa Buzaladze will represent the country in 2024. Furthermore, in the past 24 hours, the country has moved up 25 spots in the betting odds, currently holding the 10th spot.

Who is Nutsa Buzaladze?

The international songstress from Tbilisi has participated in (and won) many different song contests over her career, including a top 12 finish at American Idol in 2023 where she performed a duet with Kylie Minogue on her classic track “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”.

In recent years, Nutsa has lived in both Los Angeles (where she wrote, performed and shot music videos) and Dubai (where she signed a contract with Theater Dubai and performed at Expo) but calls Georgia home.

In 2019 she released her debut album under the name Nutsa22, covering not only Georgian songs but also compositions in English, but it was Gelodebi that became her breakout hit leading her to tour the country with a live band.

Eurovision 2024: The Semi-final allocation pots!

The Semi-Final Allocation Draw 2024 will take place tomorrow Tuesday 30 January at 19:00 CET live from Malmo, alongside a ceremony which sees the Host City insignia pass from previous hosts Liverpool to Malmo.

https://youtu.be/Q_-2hMEq5sk

The draw will be hosted by Pernilla Månsson Colt and Farah Abadi and fans will be able to watch on the official Eurovision YouTube channel.

The Allocation Draw will determine whether countries participate in the First Semi-Final (Tuesday 7 May at 21:00 CEST) or the Second Semi-Final (Thursday 9 May at 21:00 CEST). Also randomly allocated is whether a country will perform in the first or second half of the Semi-Final they’ve drawn.

Semi-Final Allocation Draw: How does it work?

Sweden as the Host Country and reigning champion respectively, along with the other 6 members of the so-called ‘Big 6’ participating countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom) do not compete in the Semi-Finals, but their domestic audiences do get to vote in one of them… so before the competing countries are allocated a place in a Semi-Final, it will be randomly determined which of the Semi-Finals the Big 6 will each be allowed to vote on.

The next part of the draw will determine in which Semi-Final and in which half of the respective Semi-Final the other 31 participating countries will perform in.

Semi-Final Allocation Pots 2024

Drawing countries from different pots helps to reduce the chance of so-called neighbourly voting and increases suspense in the Semi-Finals. You can get a good idea of how it will all work by watching the 2022 Allocation Draw on the official Eurovision YouTube channel.

The Eurovision Song Contest is due to take place on 7, 9 and 11 May 2024 in Malmo, Sweden, who won the Contest thanks to Loreen winning in 2023.

Georgia: With Nutsa Buzaladze to Malmö!

One of the countries for which so far we did not have any information about its participation in Eurovision 2024 is Georgia. But now it seems that a decision has been made and a popular female performer will represent the Caucasian country in Malmö!

Nutsa Buzaladze will be the one to fly the Georgian flag to Malmö. Nutsa Buzaladze is an American based artist who has rose to fame since her American Idol participation in 2023.

Georgia’s decision

Georgia has qualified for the Eurovision final since 2016, and despite the optimistic forecasts that existed last year for Iru, it did not manage to get past the semi-final this time either.

The public television of Georgia believes that with this year’s selection it will be in the final, even claiming a very good position. It is a flawless voice, an amazing professional, which perfectly fits the requirements of a TV project like Eurovision and can stand out.

As you understand, its selection was made by direct assignment, since no other method could have been chosen at the point in time we are in now.

With interest, of course, we now await the official announcements regarding the song with which Nutsa will try to bring Georgia back to the final of the contest, eight years after its last appearance in it, when Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian Lolitaz they took 20th place with Midnight Gold.

Her song is expected to be released in the coming weeks!
