Georgia made an impressive debut at Eurovision last year, qualifying from the Semi Final in 8th place and finishing 12th overall.

 

 

From I first heard it, Georgia was one of my favourite entries in this year’s Eurovision.  It was brought out at a stage when I wasn’t really sure if there were that many songs in the contest that I liked, and I took an instant shine to this one.  The song has been surprisingly underrated by fan polls and book makers, where I’m almost certain it’s a qualifier – or at least a song worthy of qualification.  The stage performance of ‘Peace Will Come’ was rather over done, and Diana didn’t look well on stage at all.  In fact, I was fairly sure that had she have been able to see what was going on around her, she would have changed it.  This brings me on to my second point – surprisingly, Georgia hasn’t come under much scrutiny for trying to gain the European sympathy vote, due to Diana’s blindness.  I’m glad this hasn’t happened, as I believe the power of Diana’s vocal and the anthematic feel to the song make this a worth contender in it’s own right.  A great song from Georgia, one I’m looking forward to seeing and one which I hope will manage to qualify for the Final.
