Eurovision 2012 Entrants: Georgia

I just took a look at the list of countries that I haven't reviewed the songs for, and they can be divided into two main groups--former Soviet republics and Balkan nations.

These are two regions that I traditionally don't understand and try to avoid.  So, let's take a listen to the Georgian entrant:

Anri Jokhadze  "I'm A Joker"

I'm depressed.  This is a song that is a pun on his last name, and as you can imagine about a song based on a pun, the lyrics are horrible.  They've attempted to make the song hookier by throwing as many musical styles as they can at it to hide the bad lyrics.  The problem is you can wrap up crap in a Tiffany and Co box, but it's still crap.

What makes it more depressing is that Georgia may be sending crap to the main competition, but for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, where kids from 8 to 15 compete, they are really successful--having won in 2008 and this year with the song posted below

CANDY  "Candy Music"

Come on Georgia, if you can come up with winning songs for kids, can't you do the same thing for the main event?
