The song "We Don′t the Wana Put In" which Georgia proposed for this year on Eurovision cannot participate in the contest, because it disturbs regulations – announced the representatives of Eurovision on Tuesday. Georgia can now change the words of the songs or to propose another composition which will represent her on the May contest in Moscow. This decision makes the ‘Group of Reference of Eurovision’ which belongs to the inspection of the contest. Commission referred on point of the regulations forbidding of texts and motions about the political character.
The composition is the one that Georgian televiewers choose to represent their country in the 54th edition of the Contest of Eurovision. The song called out the pretty big confusion because the English title and the refrain can be understood as we “do not want Putin". Meanwhile intercourse between Tbilisi and Moscow are very tense from August 2008, when Russian armies entered to South Ossetia - the mutinous province of Georgia.
The song in the rhythm of disco performs by the team named "Stefane & 3G" - the soloist by the name Stefane and the backing singers of three girls. Stefane, which was also a co-author "We Don′t Wanna Put In", did not deny that the title was allusion to Russian Prime Minister.
The song lived the reaction of the spokesman of Vladimir Putin. How was delivered by the Georgian portal Civil.Ge, Dmitrij Pieskow said , that possible allusions in the song would be "a hooliganism".The spokesman added ironically, that nobody in Moscow, would sing "Good-bye, our sweet Misza", as in the hymn of Olympic Games in Moscow in 1980, to make the allusion to the president of Georgia, Micheil Saakaszwili.
On the Eurovision website there appeared already comments to the decision of the Group of Reference. Praise this decision the natives from Russia and Belgium, but the author from Ukraine feeling sympathetic said: "this no longer will be the interesting song".
Does this case refer to the concept of 'freedom of speech'? I am confused! What do you think?
