Georgia: Sopho to perform six songs on February 27th

A total of six songs have been selected out of the 100 submitted entries to be performed by the Georgian entrant for Eurovision 2010, Sopho Nizharadze, on February 27th. Both Georgian and foreign composers are behind the six songs, some of them enjoying worldwide success and recognition.

These are the list of six entries to be performed by Sopho Nizharadze at the Georgian national final:

  • Never give in. Composed by Tina Japaridze, Ben Robbins and Billy Livsey. Tina Japaridze co-wrote the 2009 Icelandic entry Is it true?
  • Call me. Written by Brandon Stone (Besik Shpetishvili).
  • Our world, by Mikheil Mdinaradze.
  • Title TBA. Composed by Svika Pick, the man behind Diva, 1998 Eurovision winner, performed by Dana International; Light a candle for Sarit Hadad, who represented Israel in Eurovision 2002, and the Ukrainian entry in 2003 Hasta la vista.
  • For eternity, composed by the wel-known team Carlos Coelho and Andrej Babic. Andrej composed 5 Eurovision songs for 4 different countries (Portugal 2008, Croatia 2003, Bosnia & Herzegovina 2005, Slovenia 2007 and 2009) and Carlos Coelho wrote the 2008 Portuguese entry.
  • Shine, by Hanne Sorvaag from Norway, Harry Sommerdahl from Sweden and Chistian Leuzzi. Hanne is the composer behind the 2010 Norwegian entry My heart is yours.

These songs are to be performed by Sopho Nizharadze on February 27th, the date for the national final. The outcome of the show will be provided by a combination of jury vote and public vote.

Georgia will compete at the second semifinal of the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest, to be held on May 27th .

Not a bad selection if judging by the song writers..but I think Portugal will win Eurovision this year!! Listen to the favourite to win in the portuguese finals in March, Catarina Pereira, which is also written by Andrej Babic "Canta por mim":

You don't like "Senhora do mar"? :O
I (L) it!! :)
And as I remember you like Catarina Pereira from Festival de Cancao this year "Canta por mim", that's Babic's song! ;)

@ Iwona Wegrowska FTW

Offcourse I can't know that, but I just get that feeling looking at the names of composers... I mean WHY do Georgia need to hire these composers? I think most of them have never done anything good in ESC and I can't see any of them bringing in Georgian ethnic sound..

but I hope they will prove me wrong and i'll be happily surprised :)

Never give in

I hope this is good.
Its the only song title that catches my eye. If its as good as "Is it True" I would want Georgia to win ESC 2010.

@Deyan Petrov

This Sopho is another one! The Sopho from 2007 was Sopho Khalvashi, and the Sopho from this year is Sopho Nizharadze! ;)

@Marko
Yes, but that is ONE song, one song which I haven't even heard in full yet. He also made several other awful songs so it's like 95% awful news, lol. Let's just see how the songs will be.

@Stockholm calling
Yes, but that is a very average and boring ballad too so it's still unpromising. :(

@Stian Fikseaunet
And you are a blind moron full of false assumptions like usual.

of course Laila is negative - she is negative to everything! so to me this sounds promising then:-)

This sounds very promising :) "Visionary Dream" by the other Sopho (LoL) was one of the best songs on Eurovision :) AMAZING :D I hope that this Sopho sings an equally good song in OSLO :) Best of luck GEROGIA :)


Best of Luck Georgia hope you pick the right song :)

Wait people!
I knew that Laila will be shocked negative, but Laila you gave 7/10 to Manca's song which is Babic's song, who knows, maybe this one will be good, but it's in English I know, so what, still can be great! And New in Town, how do you know that some of those songs won't be with ethnic ellements, there are 5 songs! ;)

Armenian music is beautiful, too, it's like our Turkish music! :)That's normal because Turkey and Armenia r in the same place! :)And u r lucky also, coz Mihran is a well known dancer, he was even the dancer of Madonna, Britney Spears, ...! :O :)

Georgia has sent two really good entries till now and I even liked last year's almost-entry. I hope for something good this year as well, the singer is very promising.
Good luck!

Do they have so little faith in their own music that they need to hire these bunch?

I was waiting for an ethnic Georgian song, I guess these will be tacky schlager instead :(
