Georgia Anri Joxadze: I and Sabina planning to sing duet
Baku, May 16 (AZERTAC). “I and Sabina we are planning to sing duet” said Georgian Anri Joxadze at the press conference in Baku Crystal Hall.
Anri Jokhadze and his backing vocalists greeted the press by singing Tavisupleba, the Georgian national anthem. Then the Head of Press of the Georgian Delegation, Tinatin Berzenishvili, introduced the team behind the Georgian entry to the press.
Anri Jokhadze stated: "We just do our best, and hope people will like our song. We are sure we can host the contest and light the Georgian fire!" Later on, he added: "My song is as unpredictable as the Eurovision Song Contest itself."
On the importance of the Eurovision Song Contest for Georgia, the Head of Delegation said: "We are a small country, but it's full of talents. That's why spreading it and promoting our country is very important for us.
Anri Jokhadze also commented on his friendship with Sabina Babayeva, the Azerbaijani representative this year: "She is a good friend of mine, when she comes to Georgia, she stays at my place even. Her Eurovision song is my favourite this year, and on the official Georgian party, you can witness our duet performance as well."
"The message of our song is clear: Do what you wanna do!", Maia Bichikashvili added in the end of the press conference.
Anri Jokhadze is the first male Georgian singer ever to represent Georgia in the Eurovision Song Contest. In Baku, the artist will perform his pop song I’m A Joker.
