An entry that is difficult to classify and one which won’t be too many voters taste. Georgia opted for an internal selection of their artist followed by a public vote on the song they felt would best represent their nation in Stockholm.

What we have with Georgia's Nika Kocharov and Young Georgian Lolitaz is an edgy alternative entry that will polarise the audience.

It has the potential to soar on stage but it also has the potential to sink pretty quickly. The odds are not in its favour either as Georgia is languishing in the bottom 5 of the betting ranks. Unlikely to progress beyond the Semi.
