Antonio May 10
Original mais ressemble plus à une campagne publicitaire pour la Géorgie qu’à une mélodie pour l’Eurovision…
Originality and looks more like an ad campaign for Georgia
than a melody designed for the Euro song contest
skoobeedoo May 10
Well, she got something. Will it be enough…
Gary May 11

class very good love it just what we need thumbs hope ye win our song irish entry is dull this is refreshing and uplifting the way music should be yeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
marina May 12
She is definitely the best!
I woudn’t say she’s “Georgian Bjork” as she’s called by fans, but for sure the sort of music she performs is of the highest standarts. I’d even say she’s the only performer of MODERN interesting and stylish melody on Eurovision.
I guess the majority of young voters and the good ETHNIC music fans of any other age will vote for her.
Good luck to her!
(FYI I’m not georgian
)

For sure, she was the best.
Best music, real good looking, something from Bjork perhaps. The clip is a real promotion for tourism but I will really try to find more of her music.
Endre May 13
Amazing. She has a great voice. Yes, something like Bjork in the shape of Madonna. Cool.
