Looking back to Stockholm…
Last year, Georgia was represented by Nika Kocharov and the Young Georgian Lolitaz with the song Midnight Gold. The song placed 20th with 104 points. This was Georgia’s second consecutive appearance in the Eurovision final, after Nina Sublatti placed 11th in 2015. Georgia’s best result remains their 9th place finishes in 2010 and 2011. In those years, the country was represented by Sopho Nizharadze and Eldrine respectively.
