I didn't particularly like any of the songs. That being said, "One last breath" is a decent song and I'm happy with that.

Honestly, it is a good song but I expected something better from Greece... First time from many years Greece is not in my top 10...

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

You mean the song that gave Greece their worst position since 1998? I'll never understand any love for that song. As far as I'm concerned, Greece have returned to form with Maria, and as I said before, it will show in their results. If this doesn't get in the top 15 I'd be surprised.

About "Eurovision Grexit", unless they sell loads of adverts (and that's a fact) and cover expenses with it, without spending money neither for NF, they'll stay in the game. It's useful also in terms of "material". For a network quite smaller than BBC or Sky (for example), like it's Nerit, fill four "flashship" Prime Time nights would be a difficult challenge... so keep it in the pocket, Greece! :D

Hmm....I don't know, :gr: songs always had something underwhelming for me, because I never really liked their style. I did respect the fact that most songs they send past years we're "typical" Greek, but It was never for me.

This is about the first time I ever see :gr: go for a "save song" since they qualify no matter what they send. And again......I don't really care much for this song.
I mean.........there is nothing wrong with it, but it's incredibly forgettable for me and that doesn't happen very often. I even thought "Diell" was more memorable than this. :lol:

It's another ballad and not the best one at that. For once I really hoped Greece would be typical Greece again this year and would send something with uplifting with summer vibes like "Shunshine". I Usually don't like these type of songs, but it is what this Eurovision edition desperately needs. I really hope this is the last ballad so far, because I'm kind of fed up with all these ballads. :(

It's not, I can assure you (Poland) :twisted:
But Maria Elena's ballad has something very unique that makes me want to listen to it again.

^You aren't alone, I like this aswell. Of course it is no Eurovision-winner, but it was the best choice in the bunch! It is a classic Eurovision-ballad, very well sung and still not a snoozefest. Good choice Greece! :D

I don't like it at all. I can't believe that Greece decided to send a ballad! :eek:

Well her win is a nice reward for being the only decent vocal performance of the evening but I really wish we had something fun and uptempo from Greece this year. :( :(
This should still qualify easily but I don't see it doing particularly good in the final.

Lesson to be learned from every artist who wants to try in ESC.

Yes to uptempo and fun songs, but with a strong performance.

Do it the Koza Mostra way! ;)

The second best Greek entry ever. xbow

I was a fan of "Jazz & sirtaki" (and I am still a fan of the studio version) but I have to be objective. No, sorry, Thomai. I don't want Greece to be ashamed.

This is a classic in the best traditions of the genre. This song is like the song from 90-s we want to listen with pleasure constantly till now.
The best entry from Greece since 2012.
10 pts.

A BALLAD FROM GREECE?! WHAT ON EARTH.

It's a bit slow for me and takes to build up to it's good ending. It's not totally bad though. 7 points.
