Giorkas Loukas spoke on camera of the Greek tv programm ''Proino mou'' "I hope and believe that these 3 minutes of Greece on stage will touch million of people. ''It is too early yet, but I believe in the benefits that we'll have in Germany and you will see something different, "said Lucas Giorkas and continued commenting on last night:" Yesterday's show was very simple with a good sense; It was an event for the choice of the Greek song. In Germany it will be a show. "
^Yeah it's strange because Zeimpekiko is a traditional dance of Greece, and on foreigners it looks strange 
I am so positive, because I KNOW that this we will see in May will be good, like Greece doing every year from 2004

I really hope so, to see something very cool on stage. Loukas "dance" was a bit weird on stage last night. Maybe it was some Greek dance, don't know. But for me it looked a bit weird
What you called "weird" is a pure Greek dance, in a 9/8 tempo, and it's called "zeibekiko"! This is 100% Greek, and a very big chapter in Greek music history! But I'm not surprised because this is something strange for non-Greeks! And that's what they were discussing in tv today, for Europeans, zeibekiko is something really strange! It's not like other Greek music genres, like hasapiko (Zorba the Greek starts with hasapiko sounds)! And that's why they worry how will Europe view this song! That's what I said also, it's not enough to be liked only by Greeks and Cypriots! It had to be something that would be liked by all Europe!
I actually decided, no matter how upset the results made me, to support Loukas, because he's a really talented guy, and he deserves to have a nice career! I don't want to see him failing in ESC so to ruin his future career! And another thing, he's Cypriot, coming from a place near to mine, so that's another reason I want him to be decent in ESC!

It's not strange for me
That dance is very similar to our Zeybek ( where that was originated from ) very nice, I like it and I'm sure many Turks will like it.

I personally like it very, very much. I am sure that the song will gain a lot of popularity in Azerbaijan, you'll see it.

Thank you very much for informing. I will see that now for sure in different way. It's very good to see all, whats connected with Greece. If he will do this also in Germany, then I hope the commentators will tell that he gonna dance a traditional Greek dance. And I very hope he will do very good in ESC. Not sure about winning, but Top 10 will be quite good in my opinion with this song. =)

You know what? After one day I started thinking about this entry in a different way. I still don't like it and I probably won't, but it is very good that many people from Greece are proud of this choice. It was the same with me and Poland last year. We sent a story with a folklore which could not be understood by most of the people from Europe, but I still adore out entry Good luck Greece!
Good luck Greece!

I was twisting my brain yesterday to find what were Nikki's dancers reminding me of... And when you said "5 year old" it hit me! The Teletubbies!!! (in brown of course)

I think, this song must be heard several times to like it. So it could be very difficult to reach the final this year. At the moment it´s not my cup of tea, but this can change.
