Who is Nutsa Buzaladze?

Over her career, she has competed in a variety of musical reality shows, including Georgia’s Got Talent, The Voice of Turkey and American Idol. She previously attempted to represent Georgia at Eurovision in 2017, playing second in their national selection with the song “White Horses Run”.

Georgia’s Eurovision History
Georgia’s history in Eurovision has been mixed since they began competing in 2007, represented by Sopho Khalvashi with “Visionary Dream”. Their highest placements – both coming in 9th – were achieved in 2010 and 2011, with Sopho Niharadze performing Shine and Eldrine with One More Day. They have not qualified for the final since 2016, where they were represented by Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian Lolitaz with Midnight Gold.
For 2023, former Junior Eurovision winner Iru represented Georgia with her song “Echo”. At the close of voting, however, Georgia failed to qualify for the final for the sixth year in a row. Iru finished in 12th place in the semi-final, earning 33 points from the televote.
