Nadir Rustamli to represent Azerbaijan

Today it was announced in Ictimai TV's morning show that the winner of the latest The Voice Azerbaijan Nadir Rustamli will represent the country in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest. Born in 1999, Mr. Rustamli won the show under Eldar Gasimov's team, and his blind edition was included in the list of unique voices of The Voice Global.

On another note, more than 300 songs were already submitted in an open call out of which 6 will be shortlisted. National juries will accordingly choose which song Nadir will perform in Turin following the selection.

Oh, a hottie!


Tbh. I'm subscribed to all channels of The voice global and, therefore, have watched his blind audition at least once (although I can't recall). I had no idea he was only 22 though.

For everyone interested, this video shows his entire journey through the season.

A for Azerbaijan for now.

Yes, it's a beautiful song and the country's best entry since 2019, imo. However, it's also boring and could've been far more powerful than it actually is. Right now, it even sounds a bit outdated.

its good but I feel it was written in Azeri first then translated to English as Lyrically I'm left with mixed feelings.

Maybe it'll grow but for now its a from me

I remembered listening yesterday thinking this doesn't sound finished. But i was listening to it this morning and I realized that I could see it as someones favorite, even mine. I feel like I just underestimated the shit out of my second country. In conclusion: you probably won't believe this but this is the first time Azerbaijan is actually my favorite song
