The second and last entry from 2015 to make this list is Nina Sublatti representing Georgia. This entry was another instant hit with me and it is my favourite to win Eurovision 2015. It's made 4th place on my list and has been beaten to the top spot by 3 songs that have been favourites of mine for a while. This song has great potential and the performance on the night could go really well.
Some might be surprised that neither Ireland nor the UK's entries for 2015 made this list but in honesty I am not impressed by either. The UK entry I did not like at first which I think will damage it's chances on the night, while it may be growing on many people in the UK, for many viewers the night will be the first and last time they hear it and I am not convinced it is strong enough to grab your attention and your votes. I will happily admit I was wrong if they win but right now I don't think it will happen. Having listened to all entries from 2015 there are a few tracks I think will finish higher but as this list has shown us so far, liking an entry is not enough and being popular in your own country is not enough. The only saving grace for the UK entry is that it has proven quite controversial with an initial split of almost 50/50 love and hate for the entry that could be a sign that it is something the rest of Europe might like but that remains to be seen. Personally I don't think the style of music is exportable.
This entry by Nina has many aspects of past winners of the contest and in some respects similarities to the next entry that has made my list.
Update: Georgia came 11th in the final
