I am a huge fan of this genre of music. I never expected something this good to grace itself on the Eurovision stage. The Georgian delegates wowed everyone by qualifying with their electrifying performance of this crunchy, britpop, rock jam.

I loved this song but I had no hopes for it qualifying. Even though it was in my personal top ten, rock songs like this don't usually do this well. It's usually the awful rock that gets through, but in 2016 it was only best. Interesting to note, this song was produced by the author of the 2012 winning song.
