Georgia‘s public broadcaster GPB announced the title of the song with which Nutsa Buzaladze will represent the country in Malmö. The song is titled “Fire Fighter”.

At the same time, the recent rumours were confirmed, as Darko Dimitrov and Ada Skidka were officially announced as the song’s composers. After an open call to interested artists, the song was selected from about 300 submissions made to the country’s public television.

According to a story published on Nutsa’s personal Instagram account, the Georgian delegation has already started extensive preparations. The director and choreographer have actually already been chosen, as per reports from today’s GPB afternoon programme. They met with the executive in charge of Georgia’s public television today to go over the specifics of the stage performance.

The production of “Fire Fighter” has been completed and the track is expected to be released in the next few days.

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.

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

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

The jurors to join the judging panel for The Voice Georgia have been announced, in order to find the next act that will represent Georgia at Liverpool in Eurovision Song Contest 2023!

The judging panel is  formed of:

  • Stephane Mgebrishvili
  • Dato Evgenidze
  • Dato Porchkhidze
  • Sopo Toroshelidze

GPB has announced  the judging line-up for The Voice Georgia. Former Eurovision representative Sopho Toroshelidze and composer Dato Evgenidze have been announced by the Georgian broadcaster today and Stephane Mgebrishvili was announced as First The Voice Georgia juror some days ago.

Stephane Mgebrishvili  has been involved in the music industry since the late 1990s and is best known as a member of Stephane and 3G, the group which won the Georgian selection for Eurovision 2009 but was disqualified from competing in Moscow for its politically influenced song “We Don’t Wanna Put In”.

Dato Evgenidze is a composer who writes music for film, TV and theatre, he has previously been a judge in the Georgian selection for Junior Eurovision Ranina.

Sopho Toroshelidze represented Georgia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 as part of Eldrine. She has gone on to be a judge on X Factor Georgia in 2014, and has been on the Georgian jury at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

The singer and composer Dato Porchkhidze was already a judge of The Voice in the first two editions. He is one of the most famous songwriters, he has created around 600 songs and soundtracks for movies and TV series and also he was a member of the “X-factor” jury in 2016.

For the  first time since 2020, Georgia decides to once again pick their representative through a TV show. The last Georgian representative to be chosen with this method was Tornike Kipiani from the Georgian Idol 2019, who represented the country in 2021, after the cancellation of the 2020 contest. This time, the selection will be held through The Voice of Georgia, which will return to the first channel of the Georgian television.

 

Circus Mircus represented Georgia this year with the song “Lock Me In” and ended up last (18th) in the second semi-final with 22 points.

Along with Tornike, there will be three people in vocals, Mariko Lezhava, Mariam Shengelia and Aleko Berdzenishvili. Emilia Sandquist, who has also worked with Melodifestivalen and is a member of the Jean Baptiste Group, will be the director of the performance.

Unlike the previous year where Georgian Idol selected both the artist and the song that represented Georgia at the Eurovision 2020 contest only the artist was selected through the popular talent show, since the song has come up with an internal selection.
