Singers Salome Katamadze and Nini Tsnobiladze represented Georgia at the April 5 "New Wave" singing competition in Kiev. The two girls had reached the contest after performing in "New Voice", a Georgian version of the popular "Voice" show.
Nini performed three songs for the judges, beginning with Tina Turner's "Proud Mary" but switching to "Killing Me Softly" by Lauryn Hill after a request by the panel. They then asked her to sing a Georgian piece, and Nini chose "The Always Young Tango" by Mamuka Charkviani. Her performance drew positive reaction, but the judges still chose Salome Katamadze for the 2013 Jurmala music contest, while Nini was chosen as a reserve option.
