Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

It's time to kick of the usual reviews. The opinions are all mine and if I don't like some song it's simply just not my cup of tea so to speak. If I like something you dislike or hate, it's fine, too. No stresso, no need to be depresso it's just music and tastes that re diverse and therefor beautiful! I also try to predict their success come May a little bit but as we know once the staging is out everything may change, remember Fuego and Rise like a phoenix for example? For this series I have grouped the songs in fours as usual as the songs may have similarities or something in common. Some fours came out beautifully, the others.... well not so well. Here comes the sixth part! SWITZERLAND -Zoë Më - Voyage This is one of those songs that haven't yet quite clicked with me. I have a feeling I should like this a lot more than I do right now. It's in theory just my cup of tea but something... I don't know. I get some Carla Bruni vibes (that are positive) but....

Last but not least Georgia finally revealed its card for Eurovision song contest: It's Mariam Shengelia with Freedom. Her name might be the second best kept secret of the season. Not. And surprise: Despite the name the first two minutes of the song is in Georgian! And somehow the act and look and staging recalls their first ever entry Visionary dream in Helsinki 2007! Mariam (22) is another artist that has gone by The Voice and The X Factor before Eurovision stage called her. She was chosen internally among the 18 submissions and the entry is  heavily fueled with Georgian culture and tradition. Apparently Eurovision has been her goal in life and career all along. It was about to happen already back in 2020 when she was supposed to be the backing singer for Georgian entry before the contest was cancelled. But now she's no longer a backing singer but the star in the spotlight.  She's also singing in group Mixtura.  Enjoy some of her other songs below:
