Georgia 2023: Iru - Echo

[Lucille]

Quite SHOUTY!

 

[Zu]

Bit SHRILL as well

 

[Lucille]

As we all know more wigs equals GOOD SONG.

 

[Zu]

As we all know more wigs equals GOOD SONG.

And I expect most of the competition will pale into insignificance thanks to those MUCH EXCITING FABRICS

 

[Zu]

Bit SHRILL as well

Not exactly Lorren’s RICH BARITONE IS IT

 

[Alla]

What a letdown, we wanted this

 

[Zu]

What a letdown, we wanted this

And all we get is some SCABBY OLD BOB and something she found in Tori Amos’s BIN

 

[VoR]

The opening of this song is such a jump scare

 

[Christian]

Like a young LEA MICHELE

 

[Lucille]

Like a young LEA MICHELE

Let’s not get NASTY!

 

[Zu]

Like a young WOLF KATI but with more wigs and fashions

 

[Penelope]

Reports that social services are off round LOREN’S and taking her CHILDREN AWAY.

Those baby Yodas are HERS and she STILL HAS THE RECEIPT!

 

[Penelope]

Best Georgian entry since that eccied up Britpop nonsense in 2016

 

[COB]

Well this is EXCEPTIONAL

 

[IntoTheDark]

 

[Zu]

I of course think that poor English is a sadly absent feature in most Eurosongs du jour so I do applaud these half-arsed efforts

 

[Zu]

Why doesn’t she just do it in Georgian? It’s not as if singing in the foreign is any barrier to winning although the shrill vocals might be

 

[IntoTheDark]

The thing is, this girl can speak PERFECT English otherwise, so it doesn't make sense that the lyrics are so nonsensical at all. Unless it's intentional...

 

[IntoTheDark]

This has mysteriously disappeared from streaming services. I wonder if they are changing the lyrics

 

[OutSynk]

This SHAMELESS Ariana Grande - Into You rip-off

 

[OutSynk]

Her actual entry sucks.

 

[Pingu]

This has mysteriously disappeared from streaming services. I wonder if they are changing the lyrics

It's still on Apple Music...

 

[Zu]

Her actual entry sucks.

SO RUDE HOW DARE YOU

 

[VoR]

Sad to discover that Iru is complicit in war crimes.

 

[Kala]

Here is Iru’s live performance from Barcelona. Impressive. I think this could improve on their best ever result of 9th. It kinda reminds me a bit of Love Wave for some reason.

 

[Iguana]

 

[Lucille]

She’s a great singer but I find it quite SHOUTY and quite an ENDURANCE TEST to sit through.

 

[Soldi]

Tarot says 14th.

 

[VoR]

Yeah I reckon mid-table, but that's still a victory for Georgia.

 

[Zu]

She’s a great singer but I find it quite SHOUTY and quite an ENDURANCE TEST to sit through.

It's nasty. Seems to NEVER END!

 

[Zu]

Tarot says 14th.

In the semi?

 

[Penelope]

This really is quite the hard listen. I think I'm entertained while it's happening and god knows the bar for getting through is low towards the lower 9th/10th end of that semi, but the more I think about it the more I genuinely wonder WHO this is actually appealing to.

 

[Lucille]

It sounds like the emergency alert.

 

[Lucille]

I have a headache just thinking about it.

 

[Christian]

It’s all kinds of shrieky fun.

 

[Soldi]

It’s probably the song that’s grown off me the most. Hope she still qualifies though.

 

[Dark Carnival]

DARK CARNIVAL

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

This ended up being a fairly obvious NQ didn't it?
Albania, Armenia and Estonia all took various similar elements and did it so much BETTER!



I feel sad for her as they clearly put effort in this year and she's so young, perhaps more attention to WIGS and FASHIONS (not to mention a more interesting stage show) would have helped.

 

[Kala]

Yeah I think the staging really let this one down. It was all a bit nothingy. The last 30 seconds picked it up but I think by then it was too late. I do think it just missed out on the final though. I think this came 11th or 12th.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Really sad for (G)ERU, the end was quite powerful but the staging before that was non-existent
