GREECE 2013 - Koza Mostra feat. Agathonas - Alcohol is free

[CypriotGirl]

Although I wouldn't like someone established like Vandi (btw, a song of her is playing in the radio while typing this lol) or Kokkinou, there are young and fresh artists that can have a modern folk song instead. Guys, this is a popular kind of music in Greece and 100% Greek, foreigners like to listen local sounds, why you reject it? I'd like to see a pure modern laiko song in ESC...

A song like the one you posted of Monika, would be a nice pick for Greece. It has this retro sound, also ethnic sounds of Greece, something like the Dutch entry this year (in style) plus some other things that makes it unique.

Vandi and Kokkinou are more examples of what I would like... btw weren't you totally against the idea of sending something in that style??

You're totally right though, I think alot of people in Europe would like it... atleast if it's booty-shaking stuff

 

[A-lister]

ethn, i tried so much that i've run out of words!!!

You obviously didn't try enough

When?

I just said that if they choose to send something in this style, I would be afraid that it would come up either very cheap or very fake

Because for me that genre is hit or miss. There are some modern laika songs I adore, and some other that I despise with passion!

Oh I see, I thought you disliked it

Well, I always said that Greece should try something like that, not these ethno-pop with Swedish involvements... but more "pure" ethno-pop like those

 

[ethn]

You aswell???

oh yeah..................

 

[A-lister]

oh yeah..................

Gosh... I can't believe people had this idea bout me

 

[ethn]

Gosh... I can't believe people had this idea bout me

If I disliked it, I wouldn't send "Anantikatastatos" of Polina Christodoulou in FSC

It's this kind of modern laika that I like!

True, but then again you're in a jury and you said your aim was to have a diversity of entries

I see, so you like the style that is more in between the type of "Greek" ethno-pop we get in ESC, and the style of modern laika which I like (the more hysterical one ).

 

[EvNickGR]

Here is ''Alcohol is Free'' with english translated lyrics! So, this isn't so much a joke entry..

I liked Greek ethno-pop entries in the 00s, until 2008 which was the last entry of this genre I liked from Greece. Now, I find that style very dated, especially when it's something like Aphrodisiac

In ESC, I'd like something more Greek, without any attempt to sound international. Some modern laika songs I like:

Despina Vandi - Girismata - Official Video Clip - YouTube
Panos Kiamos - Chartorichtra - YouTube
Elli Kokkinou - Eroteftika - Official Video Clip (HQ) - YouTube
Sakis Arseniou - Erotoxtypimenos |
TI DEN KATALAVAINEIS | HLIAS VRETTOS | STIXOI | NEW GREEK MUSIC 2012 - YouTube

I kinda prefer more male vocalists in this genre

@ ethn maybe i did not try enough. My last weapon would be to find something to balckmail him! Lol!

About "moderno laiko" i agree with CypriotGirl. It would be a hit or a miss... I would not be negative towards the possibility to see Vandi at ESC stage but with a ballad like "Lathos anthrwpos". That would be better.
But i'm gonna stand by my opinion that Greece must play it's last card...The so called "entehno". I' loooove to see a female voice like Melina Aslanidou, Eleonora Zouganeli, and many more...

Yeah. Entehno = artistic. I love that music. And Eleonora Zouganeli was one of my first suggestions for Greece in this thread last year, and Melina Aslanidou is a great singer too. Also, another nice artist that I'd like to see is Andriana Babali!

 

[Nicholas123]

OMG YES! Adrianna! I forgot about her!!!!
I think would be easier 4 ERT to approach her and suggest her to go to ESC! Very nice cjoice!
