GEORGIA
Song: Shine Like A Star
Artist: Anita Abgariani
Now Georgia’s Ranina contest doesn’t necessarily decide the participant for Junior Eurovision but ever since 2018, the winner has always represented. This year it’s eleven-year old Anita Agbariani. Ranina is not her only music success. Anita has also won the Arpeggio International Singers Competition in Malta and is a piano student. The song she will sing at Junior Eurovision is titled “Shine Like A Star.” The song is about how she looks to the future and will make it hers. It’s not just her but her generation of young. The song is a mix of classical and modern music mixed together. Right from the start, you can tell this song will be dramatic. Anita displays an incredible variety of vocal styles and vocal ranges in this song. Her bold vocals will demand your attention from beginning to end. The dramatic music adds to the feel of power in the song. You can easily hear why there’s so much excitement over this song. It’s just that bold!
JESC Chances:
Georgia does make you wonder why they go all out on their Junior Eurovision entries while their attitude seems to be ‘whatever’ to submitting their main Eurovision entries. Last year after France tied Georgia’s record of three wins the year before, Andria’s winning helped Georgia reclaim the record all to themselves with four. Anita and her song obviously show they want to make it win #5. This song definitely sounds like a winner of a song and it’s great seeing the host nation deliver something excellent. One thing is that Georgia often does better in the jury points than online voting points. They may have won last year but they had the sixth-most online voting points. This song will not only need to win juries but the public as well if it wants to win on home soil. Another thing is this song is very difficult to do. Anita has probably the hardest singing job to do of all the contestants. The finishing result of the song will depend on her delivering in Tbilisi.

Lyrics of Shine Like a Star
Georgian / English
შორიდან ისმის სიმფონია
ლიტავრის ხმამ ამიყოლია
ერთი ვარსკვლავით ავანთებ ცას
მომავალს გავუღებ გულით კარს
Shine like a star, let the world see,
The fire inside, it’s the best of me.
Voices unite, we are not alone,
Together we rise — this is our song!
მთვარის შუქს აჰყვა ჰარმონიაც
ზღაპარს მიქარგავს ეს მელოდია
ღამეს ნატვრა აუხდენია
ჩემს ვარსკვლავს რა ძალა ჰქონია
იყო და არა იყო რა
იყო და არა იყო რა
ღვთის უკეთესი რა იქნებოდა
One day, we’ll all shine like stars!
English
From afar, a symphony is heard,
The sound of the timpani carries me away.
With a single star, I will light up the sky,
And open the door to the future with my heart.
Shine like a star, let the world see,
The fire inside, it’s the best of me.
Voices unite, we are not alone,
Together we rise — this is our song!
The harmony follows the moonlight,
This melody weaves me a tale.
The night’s wish has come true —
How powerful my star must be.
Once upon a time, or maybe never was,
Once upon a time, or maybe not at all —
What could be better than God’s creation?
One day, we’ll all shine like stars!
