#Nina Sublatti

[wardrobeoftime]

Hello! Thank you for your work on the eurovision costumes!! I checked the tag for ESC 2015 but couldnt find if you did it, but would you be able to do Nina Sublatti's Warrior (Georgia 2015) live performance costume, as well as La Zarra's Évidemment (France 2023) music video costume? I saw her live performance gif but not the music video.

Thank you! ♥

I'm surprised myself that I haven't done Warrior so far. Could have sworn I did but maybe I had only planed to do it and never went through with it.

I have indeed not done Zarra's music video so far.

I will add both to my list.

People who say that this year is the first good performance of Georgia seems to forget about Nina Sublatti...

Favorite Songs From Each Country! Part 29/37: Georgia!

I think it's become a general consensus that Georgia is not afraid to be themselves, regardless of how well they do. And while their results have been...shocking (that NQ streak should NOT be as long as it is!), they've also dominated Junior Eurovision as well, winning multiple times and sending high-quality entries (like this year!). But in my Eurovision ranking, most of the songs I end up liking end up finishing well! So, usually Eurovision and I agree with Georgia quite a bit.

Favorite Entry: Well, this year and my favorite are super tight with each other, which is great that I mention both of them. So, I'm going to start off with my favorite at the moment, but know it may change at any time. "Warrior" by Nina Sublatti from 2015 is yet again another reason that 2015 is my favorite Eurovision year. Most of the countries that sometimes don't perform as well points wise did...amazing! It was one of those years where you wish you could put all of the songs in the top 10, and Georgia definitely proves to be a great example of the rule. She gave Georgia a very much deserved great result that is only bested by their 2 9th place finishes in 2010 and 2011 (also entries I like, alongside 2013). RANK: 11th in 2015 Grand Final/PERSONAL RANK: 3rd of 40 Countries

Thoughts on 2023 Entry: Well, Tumblr, we have here one of the most ROBBED performances this year! I've seen the consensus on YouTube, a lot of us think that Georgia should have been in the final with "Echo" by Iru. Like, okay...the lyrics aren't...perfect. But what it lacks there it more than makes up for in vocal performance and backing music. Iru sounds amazing and the instrumental sounds literally epic. And it's a crime that she wins Junior Eurovision and then NQ's in the Adult version. It blows me away every time I hear it, and it's heartbreaking that it didn't get the chance it should have gotten. Because trust me, had she had a chance in the Grand Final, juries would have LOVED it imo. RANK: 12th in 2023 Semi-Final 2 (29th Overall)/PERSONAL RANK: 8th of 37 Countries

Chamgaraga-ga-chamgara… That’s the voice of Iru singing ‘Echo’ at Eurovision 2023!🇬🇪🌬️

Could Georgia be potentially looking for their best Eurovision result ever with this year’s Iru? Winning mentality from a winner of Junior Eurovision 2011! 11 years ago Iru was a part of a band called Candy that saw winning the contest in Armenia with ‘Candy Music’. Could Iru repeat the success this year, this time going solo?

It’s not a 𝓈𝑒𝒸𝓇𝑒𝓉 that Georgia’s music scene is very forward-looking and has delivered loads of bangers over the recent years from the likes of Nina Sublatti, Tornike Kipiani, Eldrine and others! This year, Georgia is going full-in, getting a legend like Giga Kukhianidze involved - a man behind all three of Georgia’s winning Junior Eurovision songs, including ‘Candy Music’!

Tudjátok hogyan jutott eszembe az Éva?

Aznap reggel egy pszichológustól (eskü) pont ezt az írást olvasgattam. Az elengedésekről, a váltásokról, és az új élet-kezdetekről szól. És közben végig azon merengtem kiket engedtem már el én is, hányszor váltottam, melyek voltak a helyes döntéseim, és kiktől lettem jobban vagy pont rosszabbul. Szóval Kazimir Ágnes betalált, és azt hiszem sokunk rábólint az írására.

Az Éváékat a Dorina halála után engedtem el. Annyira kiborított az a tragédia, hogy akkor azt éreztem belepusztulok az örökös hülyéskedésekbe. Egy pillanat alatt megkomolyodtam, és már nem találtam a helyem a régiek között se. És akkoriban mindenki elkezdett befelé is fordulni, és a saját életére koncentrálni,  ami nem is volt baj... sőt! Teljesen normális az eltávolodás. Mindenkinek van hasonló története.

Szóval én is váltottam. Később a Covid alatt majdnem vissza huppantam, de az akkori terhem és egy újabb gyászom, továbbra sem adott kedvet hozzá.

Persze azért néha vissza-vissza néztem. Írtó büszke voltam arra hogy legyőzte a rákot. És baromi 💪🏻erősnek tartottam azért mert ő nem nyávogott miatta. Nem lett egy Szentesi Éva. Imádtam amikor a lángosozó 🌈 hír lett a Telexen. És a babáktól elájultam. Nem hittem a szememnek annyira gyönyörű képet mutatott, ahogyan szintén nem akartam hinni a szememnek most, hogy emlékoldala lett.

Szóval, a fontosabb dolgairól nem maradtam le!

Kazimir Ágnes pedig beindított egy nosztalgikus módot nálam, majd utána még felnéztem a YouTube-ra. Egyre kevesebbet vagyok már ott is fent. Egy egész héten talán 3 órát összesen. Az ajánlók között pedig ott volt Nina Sublatti osztott felvétele is. Meglepett, hiszen ezt ezer éve nem láttam. Valaki ezt nézte. (Nem tudom ki volt az)

Tudjátok, akik szerették az oldalam, a „régiek”... valahogy a YouTube feldobja nekem néha mit is néznek. Fogalmam sincsen ez hogyan működik. (Sia például még mindig nálam kóvájog) Nináról pedig persze hogy nekem is az Éva ugrott be. 💯 Nem lehet elfelejteni.

A következő emlékeztető pedig egy Wall-e célzás volt valaki mástól. És itt már azonnal eszembe jutott, rákerestem, és sokkolt a hir. Ugyanúgy ahogyan mindenkit.

Mi legalább korrektek voltunk. Az elengedések léteztek, és a békén hagyások. A nyugalom. Ez még milliárdszor jobb volt, mint az olyanok, akik folyton velem Trollkodnak és rajtam szórakoznak a Facebookon, egy ócska undorító reklámnak használják a 7-est. Gerinctelenek, akik valójában rám sem néznek. 5 másodperc figyelemre se képesek már az emberek. A másokat használó önzőség, az ostoba Trollkodás pedig a legaljasabb szinten van már. Útálom a netet, eszükbe sem jut hogy nekem más lehet a véleményem valamiről, vagy nem vagyok velük. Egyre gázabb, és érzéketlenebb tényleg a net.

 Mi nem ilyenek voltunk. Ebben legalábbis. Nem lett a betegünk az, hogy egymáson szórakozzunk örökké. És most is bár az Évát békén hagyhatnám, és elhúznék azzal hogy... jól van... 😔

SAMEDI 23 SEPTEMBRE 2023 (Billet 2 / 3)

Si vous saviez combien de temps il faut passer sur Internet pour trouver des vidéos suffisamment intéressantes, surtout pas trop longues, originales quel qu’en soit le thème,  susceptibles d���être « publiées » sur notre Blog !

C’est comme une partie de pêche dont on rentre le plus souvent bredouille. Et puis, petit miracle, on tombe parfois sur une « pépite »… et ce sont uniquement ces pépites que nous retenons.

Mardi dernier, c’était une variation sur la « Marche turque » de Mozart, interprétée par une pianiste virtuose, Yuja Wang. Combien d’entre vous l’ont regardée ? En tout cas, ceux qui l’ont vue, l’ont trouvée extraordinaire de virtuosité ! C’est sûr que si vous nous suivez sur votre smartphone, à moins d’avoir branché un casque, les dimensions visuelle et sonore sont considérablement rabougries. Sur une tablette, c’est déjà meilleur. L’idéal étant de lire notre Blog sur un PC ou un Mac. Mais il faut aussi avoir le temps… ou plutôt « prendre » de son temps pour les visionner. Vous pouvez estimer que vous avez autre chose à faire à ce moment-là.

Ou pas, d’où notre proposition de ce jour, à ne manquer sous aucun prétexte…

________________________________

Cette interprétation de la chanson « Bohemian Rhapsody » de Queen (1975) par des enfants géorgiens, dirigés par Gela Parchukidze, a rencontré un immense succès sur la Toile.

La captation a eu lieu en novembre 2017, lors du concours « Georgia's got talent ».

La jeune-femme du jury qui connaît les paroles par cœur et qui est la première à se lever est Nina Sublatti, la chanteuse qui a représenté la Géorgie au concours « Eurovision 2015 ». (C’est ce qu’il y a de moins intéressant – NDLR du Blog).

Eurovision 2015 - Georgia - Nina Sublatti - Warrior

still a favorite  ❤

[borisbubbles]

Eurovision 2010s: 100 - 96

100. Kati Wolf - “What about my dreams” Hungary 2011

Ugh I just remembered the Belgian press laughing their asses off at Hungary thinking they could win with Kati Wolf... 😤 Which um... RUDE? What about how she feels?? What about her liiiiiiiiife? Also, WHY COULDN’T WE HAVE HAD THAT OUTCOME INSTEAD??? NO Ellbeast winner and NO Ellbeast hosting AND NO disaster acoustics, let alone NO indentured servitude because the Crystal Arena never gets built! If Kati wins, EVERYBODY WINS!!! 

Having said that, lmfao Kati Wolf was indeed never going to win lolol. She was so inept and I adore her for it. 😍 She is one of the first “universally beloved OGAE favourite screws themselves over with a trainwreck live” type of contestant and easily the most iconic one, so much that we can speak of a “Kati Wolf Award” for the biggest OGAE flop every year. So much for their dreams. 😭 

However, independent from the suckage, I also greatly enjoyed "What about my dreams” live WHOOPS. I mean, I’ll caveat that the Hungarian version is a lot better. Regardless, both are pretty amazing, alternating between melancholy and self-empowerment, even when coated in a hilariously tacky aesthetic. Love the GIANT blue crystal “ring” (hand-bracelet?) and the blacklighted clothes. 😍 She CAN’T hold back. She CAN’T go back. She MUST be...freeeeeee [of good taste]. 

________________________________________________________________

99. Aliona Moon - “O mie” Moldova 2013

What an Iconic Entry. Of course, Aliona’s status as the ~First Growth Dress Ever~ alone grants her that title and for good reason. Six years after the fact it still holds up as a very impressive visual effect:

However, there is more to discuss than merely a display of excellent fashion. “O mie” is also notable for being the rare Competent Moldovan entry. 😲 Normally this is something I do not care about (and secretly “O mie” isn’t *that* competent cf. Aliona choking / the original English lyrics referencing the B’akt’un calendar 😍), but it’s always hilarious when a country with a negative budget/reputation such as Moldova manages to be both innovative AND have jurors eat out their hand while also spending a minimum of money. Of course the song itself is ALSO a great example of orchestral dramedy, courtesy of -who else- musical genius / perfect deity Pasha Parfeny. 😍 LEGEND!

______________________________________________________________

98. Francesco Gabbani - “Occidentali’s karma” Italy 2017

[2017 review here]

Oh look, it’s 2017′s Kati Wolf Award Laureate. 🤭 I feel kind of bad Francesco flopped though. The one time I support an Italian winner during the preshow and then he DOESN’T win??? ugh. 😒

However, that doesn’t take away from the Gabbani journey, which I found to be one of ups and downs, but fortunately mostly ups: The song is a mindblowingly clever parody of internet culture and, similar to how Valentina did it with “Facebook Ooh Oh Oh”, offers critique by simply showcasing everything wrong with internet culture and overendulging in it, in the most annoying fashion. 😍. This was further enhanced by culturally appropriating hindu/buddhist imagery and dancing with a life-sized “gorilla” on the stage. 

However, all the additions + a subpar live performance by Francesco caused westerner’s karma to quickly catch up with him, as his song’s message flew completely over the head of the general European audience and many rejected him FOR being... a culturally appropriating memelord. Oh Francesco. May your incompetence always find a place in our hearts...x

97. Nina Sublatti - “Warrior” Georgia 2015

Omg, how come Eurovision has SO MANY epic Ninae? Sublatti, Zilli, Zizic, Kraljic,... I DEMAND a reality tv season with all of them!!!

Anyway, Nina Sublatti is a magnificent Athenian owlet who is responsible some of the worst English ever on Eurovision. I mean, yes, we’ve definitely seen worse diction (Aram mp3 😍, and Melovin, obv), but these lyrics are legendary in print:

NOT A SHABBY OR A MONEYMAKER WORLD GONNA LIGHT UP IN PEACE NOT A SHADOW’S VIRULATOR NOW YOU JUST YOU JUST GONNA BREATHE VIOLENCE BREAK THE FREE WINGS ARE GONNA SPREAD OUT I’M A WARRIOR OSCILLATING I’M GONNA GET UP AND BE OOOOOOOH I’M WARRIOR STILL STUCKED IN MY MIN-

No seriously, legit. The lyrics literally read “STILL STUCKED IN MY MIND”. Nina writng all of codswallop by herself and NOBODY bothered pointing out it makes no sense... or perhaps some foolish intern did and were promptly oximated. Either way, 😍

Omg and I just remembered that, after screaming those words at Europe for three minutes while pulling owlfaces and getting devoured whole by LOST’s Smoke Monster, Nina somehow believed she would be the best placing Georgian entrant ever and was FURIOUS she finished in ~only~ 11th place. Delusional queen. <3

________________________________________________________________

96. Farid Mammadov - “Hold Me” Azerbaijan 2013

I’ll be honest, for the longest time I didn’t want to like Farid. Obviously, "Hold me” is the usual mass-produced Swedish contraband that gets passed around between Azerbaijan, and Malta (random ESC alliances <3).

HOWEVER, no matter how many reservations I had about the song beforehand, Farid fucking... OWNED? lol. Like, for starters, I’ve spoken about bedroom eyes before and this-

-is actually a very good attempt at them. INSTANTLY WET TYRA BANKS, FIRST CALL OUT, SMYZE. Azerbaijan then followed this up with their now trademark ridiculous eyecatching staging that, as per true Azeri tradition, fits the song’s catch rhythm and ignores its insipid message (<3). GIANT GLASS CONTAINER <3 ROSE PETALS <3 The BEST part though is when the female dancer comes on, wearing a giant, endless spine dress. 💃STYLE ICONS💃

All in all, an excellent entry. I am happy it didn’t win though, mostly because 2013 is also the year when Azerbaijan’s televote fraud AND fixed jury votes came to light, WHOOPS!!! 🤭

thinking about eurovision since it’s that time of the year
