oh my gosh!!if i hear once more abt nikki,i am gonna scream!!!she s cute and pleasant but OBVIOUSLY she had a very bad performance that made it clear to everybody on the night of the nf,that was impossible for her to sing and dance at the same time!!so it s not like that the greek audience didnt vote for a super wow entry!!!!!!

now,apart from that, for one more year it s the same story all over again.....greek entry causing love and hate comments,the past years main arguments were that greeks are too coard to choose smthng different,that they always choose an up tempo song with strong choreography but of low quality,that they dont send songs in greek (at least last year we skipped that accusation, etc etc etc)

this year,for fellows that want to attack the greek entry,is not possible to use the argument of choosing a 'safe' tested kind of song, so we re stuck with reading how nikki was so great over loukas and how loukas song is crap...........boy,it s getting soooo tiring...........

at least,for me it s veeeeryyyyy interesting that once again,we re sending a song that it has created talks over it and it s being discussed alot!!

and i am PRETTY SURE that in the end will do very well!!!

This is an idea about how I'd like Loucas to perform on stage:

First of all, the most basic thing: REMOVE THE PING-PONG TABLE! And along with it, the break-dancers!

I want a male dancer to dance zeibekiko from beginning to end, and the director to give special attention to him.
Remove the rap part after the first chorus!
At the time of the bridge, the male dancer to approach Loucas, sit and let Loucas to dance zeibekiko, BUT not like in the NF! He must dance better!

And my best wishes to Greece this year! You send a hate-it-or-love-it song, which is much better than sending an average song which gets only positive comments, but there's always a "but..."!

hear hear! i personally think that everyones being super negative bout this song because everyone wanted nikki to win.
i WANTED nikki to win, but i saw her performance, and to say it pleasantly, it was a mess. she didnt have a strong voice and the dancers made it look horrible.
loukas could sing, and im confused why people are hating this song, since it was so popular before the contest.
Listen to the song before you hate it, cause i dont think people are actually bothering to rate the song fairly...

and there is no way this song is worse that S.A.G.A.P.O. its no my number 1, but its just as good as last years

Sorry but that was quite dreadful..I do appreciate that you can still hear the "greek sound" to it, but the awful rap and lack of a decent chorus destroyed the song. Gave it a 1.

Stereo Mike is not horrible at all, he's one of the best hip hop producers in Europe, BUT you are right! It would be better if Loucas sing alone, or at least, limit the rap part!

Another thing I'd like to see: I want the bridge to last longer, in order for Loucas to have the time to dance proper and complete zeibekiko, and in the end to jump and with his 2 feet touch his fingers!

First of all, I love that he sings in Greek, which is a beautiful language! Second, I love the Greek style of the entry.
Third, the rap part doesn't fit, but I don't care. :) Greece 7 points! (Because I gave 12 to Bosnia&Herzegovina, 10 to Georgia and 8 to Cyprus)

But U must accept the fact that the majority liked Lukas and Watch my Dance...

An alternative entry this year for our country...

U R etitled to have your preferences, but the "EUROPE DO NOT VOTE US !!!" is too childish!

I like a lot the voice of Loukas, as well as the "soul" he expresses at his performance, but think that the mix with rap (sung at 9/8) is what makes this song special...

What I didn't like is the chorography, the "spinning around my head", during Louka's zeimpekiko was a disaster...
And that "break/street dancing" is toooooooo common for ESC, nothing new here...

So, better to illustrate the ORIGINAL zeimpekiko dance, since the title of the song is "Watch MY dance"...

Good news, though, is that they'll change the chorography...:D

I vote for the dancing approach, even though dancing zeimpekiko during the rap part would be very strange...

I liked a lot the video of the presentation of the song, and I believe that THIS song needs simplicity...

I didnt stand to watch and listen the hole song but the title is "watch my dance" and the lead singer is staying singing something "ballad" (I dont even want to call it ballad because I love ballads) What a contradictory.

xrofl3 Yeah, semi 1 is quickly gathering some real stinkers! Didn't expect it at first, but Watch my dance is in my top 10 now as well. And I'll wait before I claim Loukas as mine, if Israel sends Chen, Loukas is yours. :D
