GEORGIA

The Georgian final took place on the 19th February in Tblisi
The seven act final was won by the group Eldrine performing “One More Day”

The song is very unusual for Eurovision. The whole style of the performance seems to encompass lots of genres of music- some rock, some electronica, even a little bit of RnB, as well as rap.
Five members of the group play instruments whilst a female is the main singer. One could say that this mish-mash of styles means that there will be a part for everyone to like, others may say it is too confusing and lacking flow. The song is reminiscent of something Limp Bizkit, Evanescence or Paramore might produce. A band member joins in half way through and raps with the main singer. The main singer has to hit a lot of very high notes in the chorus and although she gets through it once the next few times she is very badly straining and eventually has to change down a key and alter the tune. She looks very uncomfortable during this part.

There is almost zero performance value to the song, apart from the rapping. The female singer just stands and sings. This song will need to engage much, much more with the audience at home to get any more votes at all. As there are 6 in the band ,they cannot add any more singers or dancers so they are going to have to set the band in such a way, or give the singer suitable choreography to make the performance come alive.
