In 2014 Tornike Kipiani won the x factor Georgia. He took part again in 2019, as Georgia wanted to send the winner to the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest. On New Year’s Eve 2019, Tornike won the ticket to Rotterdam. With his “Take me as I am” he could not participate due to the cancellation. This year he brings the song “You”.
