Keep The Faith - Success as a 1944 copy?
Second attempt, second disqualification?:
Yes, you heard right! Tako Gachechiladze was part of the band Stephane&3G who was disqualificated because of their song text We don't wanna put in (sounds like: We don't wanna Putin) and his political meaning back in 2009 whe the ESC was hosted in Moscow.
And again she is going into the competition with a pugnacious song whose staging reminds of historical dramas in religious and humanity freedom.
The 33-year-old woman, who was born in the capital Tiflis, won the national reselection with 14% of the calls from the public and left 24 other contestants behind her.
But will she finally get the chance to perform on the Eurovision stage and is her song strong enough to reach the Final?

Dramaballad and standing like Whitney Houston:
The beginning of the ballad is very annoying because the lyrics are not varied enough and thats the reason why it is movin on so slow forward. You are waiting on the special moment, something you can keep in mind but up to minute two ther is no real moment to remember of. If I am really strict in my argumentation, I have to ad that it even sounds dissonant because the harmony between singer and song is not as good as it sould have to be.
But she changed the feelings in her performance and turned the song from a melancolichal ballad, which is only describing sadness and that you have to believe (bla..bla..bla..), into a powerfull Soul number which lives from a strong frontwoman who stands there like a fusion of Whitney Houston and Gloria Gaynor! The ending point is a long note from her which is celebrated by a full orchestra and now ther is the harmony, which I have missed in the beginning, because it is a well structured end with a common end point.

The conclusion:
Firstly I would like to say that this song is, for me, much better than the one from last year. Well, the problem is that it might can be forgotten very fast if she is not having a vocal day but Tako can impress with her big range of hitting the notes and the US-Soule-style at the end of the song. Personally I hate the actual stage presentation (from National preselction) because all the messanges of the problems in the world are sucked off! Last year Jamala with 1944 (historical problem or "story" was described by the text), then Boggie back in 2015 and so on and so on... Here is the point why I have mentioned that this might is a bad copy of 1944 because both times we have got two strong women with an amazing voice who are standing alone on stage, both songs are special in their way to show them and last but not least both songs are describing bad themes with a message to believe!
The ballad is not bad and I liked it all in all but for me there are some points where you can fix some problematic places in the song and performance.
We will see how successful the song will finish in Kiev in May and my prediction is that this song will qualify for the Grand Final if there are enough states from Eastern Europe in their Semi-Final. In the Final it can place between position 10 and 20.
