Eurovision review: Georgia
Apr. 7th, 2011 07:45 pmGeorgia have had a relatively short, though successful history in Eurovision, in all the 3 events they have competed in, they have made it to the final.Thats something that they wont achieve this year after seeing the live version of their song.
The most infamous incident in Eurovision History for Georgia was when they decided to go to Russia with 'We Don't want to Put In', a song that sounded like it was making a reference in the title to Russian President, Vladamir Putin. the song went 'We Don't want to Putin, I just want to shoot him'. sensibly they withdrew from the 2009 contest, rather than find members of their delegation had contracted mysterous ailments.
This is the live version, which is god awful. If you are going to be a lead singer, you have to be able to sing love... and if you are leading a band that is in a euro-rock genre, moving is also high up their with performance requirements. Why you would want sonmeone who is such a princess to be the lead singer of a band like this is beyond me
Other than the very 1990's retro feel of rapping randomly in a song, I have to admit that the recorded version is ok. It is 10000% better than the live version and that is no exaggeration. The recorded version is something you could almost hear on Triple J, the live version, well thats especially for Eurovision
For something from Georgia's Eurovision history, we go right back to last year when the the male dancers had diphallic images on their trousers..
