Decided to make a quick remake of my ranking of the Belarus NF - of course, I didn't actually relisten to them, I just did this out of remembering. 1. Uzari & Maimuna - Time 2. NAPOLI - My Dreams 3. Yana Butskevich & Muzzart - Tolko Tantsuy (Just Dance) 4. Lis - Angel 5. MILKI - Accent 6. Gunesh - I Believe in a Miracle 7. Janette - Supernova 8. Alexey Gross - Stand As One 9. Valeria Sadovskaya - Summer Love 10. Vitaly Voronko - Drive 11. Tasha Odi - Giving Up On Your Love 12. BeatreeS - Fighter 13. Anastasia Malashkevich - Don't Save My Name 14. Daria - Love is my Colour 15. Rostany - Electric Toys Basically a lot of shite - Uzari & Maimuna are actually pretty alright, imo. Other notes: Why is it called Tolko Tantsuy with no Belorussian parts? Unless I'm hearing wrong. I give credit to Vitaly for a full song in Belorussian and MILKI for quite a bit of it being in the language, too. MILKI will probably walk it to victory. (Do hear me out, Sokko - )

Time to join the party. Feckin' love a guitar solo, me 2014 1. Lindita Halimi - S'të fal 2. Rezarta Smaja - Në rrëmbe 3. Mjellma Berisha - Sot jetoj 4. Elhaida Dani - Të kërkoj (Diell) 5. Venera Lumani - Dua te jetoj 6. Erga Halilaj - Ti s'më njeh 7. Gjergj Leka - Himn 8. Klajdi Musabelliu - Vetëm të ti besoj 9. Estela Brahimllari - Kjo natë 10.

Bojken Lako Band - Të ndjej 16. Marsela Çibukaj - S'muj 17. Saimir Braho - Kristal 18. Altin Goci - Rock për gjithë jetën A very eclectic range of music styles - not a terrible NF but a very.. eh, strange one? Sidenote: Lindita Halimi is a HOT MESS but JAYSUS™ is it not HIGH OCTANE MINCE material.
Special reminder of how far production values have come in the past five years. HFC to this beautiful nation for finally abandoning the late 80s.
Georgian National Final 2015 The final will be on the 14th of January. Nina Sublat - Warrior Eter Beriashvili - If Someone Niutone - Run Away Misha Sulukhia - One and Only Edward Meison - We are Free Yeah, I don't think Georgia will be doing too well with any of these songs.
Oh dear. Normal load of strange English accents (is Misha singing in English? I get the word 'rainbow' but absolutely nothing else) and other oddities: what on Earth is that woman from Niutone doing? (Is she Niutone or are they?) And have they messed about with the aspect ratio of the video or is everyone dumpy? Whatever is chosen, I think it will be joining the ever-growing list of songs that are unlikely to trouble the scorers.
Same top 5! Are there any rules about two songs with the same name competing (if this Warrior wins also?)
Georgia National Final 2015 Nina Sublat - Warrior Eter Beriashvili - If Someone Edward Meison - We are Free Misha Sulukhia - One and Only Niutone - Run Away (this reminds me of nothingy music at parking places)
1. Eter Beriashvili - If Someone (I wouldn't necessarily say I like it and it's just a standard fare ballad that'd come around 17th in 1991 but inoffensive and.. just.. yeah.) 2. Nina Sublat - Warrior (Scary looking bird - she needs to work on her enunciation but she has an okay voice and an.. interesting song.) 3. Edvard Meison - We Are Free (What the actual fuck is he saying? Although I feel this song has potential, shame about the English.) 4. Misha Suluhkia - One & Only (What the actual fuck is he saying? x2) 5. Niutone - Run Away (Weird song that seemingly goes nowhere - bad image with the singer and just.. didn't feel like up to listening to it past about 1:30.) What a bunch of nothingy naffness.
Georgian National Final 2015 Eter Beriashvili - If Someone Nina Sublati - Warrior Misha Sulukhia - One And Only Edvard Meison - We Are Free Niutone - Run Away Eter's song is lovely and inoffensive. If she improves her English, she might get a decent result. But apparently Nina Sublati is the favourite. Meh.
My preferences in Georgia: 1. Nina Sublati - Warrior Big Gap 2. Edvard Meisoni - We Are Free 3. Eter Beriashvili - If Someone 4. Misha Sulukhia - One And Only 5. Niutone - Run Away
