Re: GREECE 2015 - Maria Elena Kiriakou - One Last Breath

This year we had so much diversity to what the ethnicities concerns!

Shaya - Half Danish and half from Guyana

Barrice - Russian

Maria Elena - Cypriot

CREAL and Thomai - Greeks

6 and I'm slightly biased. It seems a ballad good enough to pass the semi final considering the other songs but I don't think it'd do very good in the final. I love the ending but the other parts are boring

I like how it ends strong, but.. :| Doesn't save the song for me. Not that it's terrible, it isn't, but it's nothing special at all and it doesn't stand out in any way. It sounds very dated, another song I've heard in ESC a thousand times before and it kind of falls into the same box with like 75% of the songs this year as well, which is just very frustrating. Usually Greece doesn't disappoint sending something more energetic and fun. But oh well. This year just definetly lacks something more and more.

one of most serious songs from greece in decades........ but there are many serious ballads this year, I think it is going to bee overlooked and easy forgotten 8 pts.

Nevermind. I love it. There's serious staging potential.

With some great lights..but it shouldn't be over he top, it's really nice the way it is.

Oh yes it should. I'm thinking Moldova 2013.

Oh I don't, those are totally different entries IMO, I prefer Greece 2015 BY MILES, I actually dislike Moldova 2013 and I saw it live in Arena..it's too ESCish for me, it's really cliche, performance is not for me..

Yaawn 2 points. Even trainwreck Shaya would've been better.

At least she would have been entertaining, even Thomai would have been too

The first time I listened to it, I didn't think it was anything notable at first, but the ending is really good... listening to it again, I like it more knowing that's coming, but it's not going to stand out.

Would have preferred Thomai.

YASSS, Jazz & Sirtaki slays.

This song is just nothing at all for me sadly

I'm sad thinking about it really. I know I said i'd be able to live with any of the 5 songs, but "Jazz & Sirtaki" would have become my new number 1 of the year. It's just disappointment after disappointment this year. I really wanted Thomai

Re: GREECE 2015 - Maria Elena Kiriakou - One Last Breath

1. Maria Elena
2. Shaya
3. C:Real
4. Barrice
5. Thomai

Thomai last? I find it a bit hard to believe ...

I applaud Greece for sending a ballad, it's been a while. That being said, I wish they would have gone for something more powerful. Granted, there wasn't much to choose from in this NF, but this ballad really doesn't click with me. The last minute is actually quite good but the first two thirds are just too draggy for my taste.

Greece has a bunch of friends in their Semi so qualification is likely. I can't see the juries hating this one but I don't think that they'll do much better than they did last year.

I'll give it 4 points.

5. Thomai Apergi & Legend

Well Thomai did finish 4th in 2013.

I hope they reveal the voting percentages too so I can see how close Shaya was to winning even with horrific vocals....if only she was a tiny bit in tune it could have been so different

Hmm it wouldn't be my number 1 but it would certainly be in my top 5. Shame indeed, it would be so refreshing in the bunch of the songs we have so far.

THE GOOD

-She has a good voice, and the instrumentals do have their dramatics in parts.
-For me, it gets better towards the end.

THE BAD

-This is a very Disney song to me. Something you would hear in one of their animated movie soundtracks.
-The beginning is quite boring.

THE VERDICT

Unfortunately, this is a middle-of-the-road song. Not good, yet not bad, either. Will it end up in the Final? Who knows. IMO, last year's entry was better, though. 7 points
