Tonight, the Semi-Final of Ranina 2025 takes place, with six singers competing for their place in the Grand Final. After four rounds of performances, the singers with the highest point total progressed to the Semi-Final. Unlike the previous round, the points total across the previous shows will not matter, with the jury scores from tonight alone selecting the finalists.<\/p>\n

They will be scored by a three-member jury, which consists of permanent judges and a guest judge. The permanent judges are Dato Evgenidze and Nato Metonidze and guest judge Buka Kartozia. The judges award up to 10 points for each criterion: voice, performance, art and collaboration.<\/p>\n

The six singers competing for three places in the final are:<\/p>\n

Lazare Kapanadze
\nAnita Abgariani
\nSandro Abesadze
\nGabriel Bodaveli
\nLile Mchedlishvili
\nMariam Muzashvili<\/p>\n

You can follow the selection live from 20:00 CEST\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
