11 year old Mariam Mamadashvili triumphed in November last year in Valletta, with her pitch perfect performance of Mzeo topping the table with 239 points. The EBU and GPB are pleased to reveal that as last year’s winners GPB were given first option to host the 2017 competition, and they have agreed.

As Georgia has won the JESC the most times we are pleased that we can finally bring Europe’s favourite youth show to a new country that has shown such dedication to the Contest. Last year’s competition showed that JESC is an invaluable platform for public service broadcasters to support their young talent, and we have full confidence that GPB will host another great show this November”.
Eurovision Georgia has won the Contest, which began in 2003, a record three times but this is the first time that the event will be held in the country. Further details concerning dates, venue, tickets and accreditation for the 2017 edition of the competition will be announced in the coming months.

Liza has the potential and talent to be a really big artist. Her performance in this clip from the movie reminds me of a Beyoncé or Rihanna. It is that good.

Gvantsa Saneblidze was a member of the popular group Candy, who won the 2011 Junior Eurovision Song Contest for Georgia, with Candy Music. They also had a follow up hit entitled Summer Day. The girl group were all part of the Bzikebi Studio success that has heralded three Junior Eurovision wins so far mastered by Giga Kukhiadnidze.
The members of Candy are still combining their studies with singing. Gvantsa likes to perform jazz and classic and retro style songs with her clear and soulful vocals. Take a look below at her performing Brother, Can You Spare A Dime? that has been recorded by many artists such as Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee.
I am sure we will see a lot more of Gvantsa in the future and, who knows, maybe on the Eurovision stage again too.
