What do I think of this?

The most interesting aspect of Georgia 2010 seems to be the dress. And I'm not in the least bit interested in dresses so I don't really know what to say. After last year's fun and games with Russia, it's a huge disappointment to see them ballarding their way into obscurity with "Shine" from Sofia Nizharadze.

She's a confident lass whose eyebrows seem to have a life of their own. And thank god for that, because there's little else to recommend this MOR ballad, sung competently enough. After she get's a handy reminder how to walk from her wallopers, she's off covering every inch of the stage employing her vocal chords to the max as she's manhandled in every conceivable place. Not forgetting the distacting clutching at her boozumes. Georgia have a good history in the contest, and still managed to progress from the more difficult semi. The jury is now out on this one however logic dictates a lower mid-table result.

Shine

Who can ever tell the colour of a soul
And the memories we keep from long ago?
Do we ever really know each other's past?

You can't go back to before
But tomorrow will bring even more

Like the tide's gonna turn
You will know when it's cold
You're on your own, but you're never alone
Shine, shine, like the stars in the sky
Wipe your dust off your love, let it shine

So when nothing's ever really carved in stone
Remember that your heart is holding on
And when every second melts up in the past
Don't be afraid it will end
Only fear that it never began

Like the tide's gonna turn
You will know when it's cold
You're on your own, but you're never alone
Shine, shine, like the stars in the sky
Wipe your dust off your love, let it shine

You can't go back to before
But tomorrow will bring even more

Like the tide's gonna turn
You will know when it's cold
You're on your own, but you're never alone
Shine, shine, like the stars in the sky
Let it shine
