26-04-2009 12:11 | 0 comment(s)

The band, representing Georgia, disqualified of Eurovision Song Contest 2009 because of anti-Russian lyrics, will release their single "We Don't Wanna Put In" on May 18. Music fans say it's the come-back of disco : listen to it !

"We Don't Wanna Put In" by Stefan & 3G has been considered as disappointing by Russian authorities, against their country, following the conflicts in South Ossetia.

Answering to Russia, the organisers of Eurovision Song Contest 2009 asked the Georgian TV channel to change the lyrics. Refusing this order, Stefan & 3D have been disqualified & won't go to the contest, in Moscow on May 16.

Although they aren't qualified anymore, encouraged by fans & media, Stefan & 3G will release their single on May 18.

Watch the video for Stefan & 3G's "We Don't Wanna Put In" here.

The band consists of singer-songwriter Stefan, who already released 2 albums. There are also Nini Badurashvili, actress & singer, Tako Gachechilad, who got the Georgian medal of Arts & Letters & Kristine Imedadze, winner of many song contest.

Also, about the Song Contest, many Russian hotels have put their prices up ! 20 to 30% from May 10 to 16, according to the newspaper "Kommersant". "This year, the Eurovision Song Contest may be a way for Moscow's hotels to earn more money" the journalist said. "The occupied rooms have gone back to 52%, losing 14 points."

The same phenomenon happened during the football Champions League in 2008, but the Antimonopol Federal Service of Russia didn't interfere. This time, according to the Russian newspaper, there should have been an illegal plan between hotel owners, veryfing the situation.

Many hotels in Saint-Petersburg have been sentenced to pay a lot of money, for having put the prices up, from 80 to 100%, during an economic forum in 2008.
