Good evening folks! It’s Day 8 on Eurovisionfanblog’s 50 days of Eurovision challenge, and the task today is to share a video of a song you don’t like from this year’s contest, and say something nice about it!  

There are about a dozen songs this year that I could happily see flung into Room 101, but Keep the faith is my current #43. I was amazed that a country as innovative and left-field as Georgia at the ESC sent something so dull and generic.  I struggle to think of anything good about it - except the backing video. No, I don’t like it in itself - its ridiculously overt political nature makes it quite tawdry - but something good came out of it. It must include dozens of pieces of newsreel and stock footage. Her song has put the children of whoever is in charge of multimedia copyright management in Georgia’s TV station through college, and put money in the pockets of the copyright holders too. That’s one definite bright side.
