The Georgian entry by the "Stephan & 3G" group, chosen on Thursday (19 February) to represent the country at the finals in May, uses a play on words against Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.....
"Since we decided to take part, we need to send a message to Europe and first of all to Moscow," the song's producer, Kakha Tsiskaridze, told Reuters. Russian agency Interfax called the entry "anti-Russian.".....
Ukraine Eurovision act Verka Serduchka in 2007 lost Russian music industry contracts after the song's chorus, "Russia Good Bye," was taken as an allusion to Ukraine's split from Russia in the 2004 Orange Revolution.....
Eurovision declined to comment on the Georgian entry until it is officially lodged on 16 March. But a spokesman said "political songs have never been allowed on stage," recalling that another Ukraine act - GreenJolly - was forced in 2005 to tone down references to the Orange revolt.
"It's a song contest and it's about uniting Europe, not dividing it. Uniting Europe in music - that was always the idea. Let's have fun together, basically," Jarmo Siim told EUobserver.
