GREECE 2011 - Loukas Yorkas feat. Stereo Mike - Watch my Dance

And in the bridge? What did he do? He clapped his hands and shouted "ela! opa!"... You are not in the bouzoukia of Ethiniki Odos, but in the Eurovision stage, for goodness sake!

What's wrong with that

What's wrong with that

It's amateurish!

^It's not amateurish, just a part of our life

Am I the only one who did not like the performance at all? The dancers were ok, at least much better than in the NF! But Stereo Mike was singing so low and his voice could not be heard, plus I could not get any melody from the verses! Loukas' voice was nice, but he was out of tempo! And in the bridge? What did he do? He clapped his hands and shouted "ela! opa!"... You are not in the bouzoukia of Ethiniki Odos, but in the Eurovision stage, for goodness sake!

They performed the song 4 times, trying different thnings (on the details), based on the "core performance" already decided before going to Germany.
They'll study the snapshots and they will decide which way to go for the small details...

As for the

He clapped his hands and shouted "ela! opa!"You are not in the bouzoukia of Ethiniki Odos, but in the Eurovision stage, for goodness sake!

first of all he only said "ela", not opa... (in just ONE of the four performances. At the rest he was only claping - the most common thing when you watch sm1 to dance zeimpekiko)
And what is wrong with that?
You don't have to be at the bouzoukia of Ethiniki Odos to prompt "ela", "opa" etc!

If yoy really believe that, then last year our whole (OPA) song was for the bouzoukia of Ethiniki Odos, and the same goes for Shake it!
Or when it is Rouvas that prompts OPA it's NOT bouzoukia of Ethiniki Odos?

As for the comments for the audio parts, even the "haters" of the song admitted that it was one of the best rehersals also vocaly, where did you find Loucas out of tempo?
Probably the video you watched didn't have very good sound quality...

@FoFo I like seeing ethnic stuff on stage (not too much) so I like that

Btw breaking plates is what this song (Greek parts) really needs

Shameless self-promotion: So I've started doing remixes of this year's entries. Among the three finished ones is "Watch My Dance". You can find them all here:

nice pic!

^ Is it lace on Loukas' t-shirt :?

 

[94ayd]

It might qualify after all but I found it too boring, so I don't think a top 10 is happening this time.

 

[PashonFrut]

Good rehearsal but the dancers are out of place, you should have replaced the streetdancers with Greek traditional dancers who could have combined both modern and national elements, also I don't mind the Ela part and you have my blessing to add the breaking of plates as well

P.S Loukas is such a cutiepie

 

[Narmina]

At first I dislike this song very much...But time passed, I listened to it couple of times and it grown on me very much. After watching the rehearseal I'm sure that Lukas & Stereo Mike will be in the final and it won't be a surprise for me if they take a high position

 

[Adeline]

I quite like the rehearsal; the background is very well chosen and the performance looks very good!

as per some infos presented on greek sites, loukas is rehearsing at a gym ,owned by greeks in Dusseldorf,so that they can be as good as possible with their dance routine

also ,in an interview of yesterday, he mentioned that they re really anxious for the semi final ( and the semi is actually what they fear the most...as if the song passes to the final ,then he really feels the song will do pretty well)

Well, I feel the same! Once it passes, it will do very well. It's a kind of a song that can do either extremely well, or extremely bad! No middle solution!

imo words like "ela" and "opa" are just perfect to be used.......it is the best way to feel the passion of the greek songs...............take a look at loukas' performance in the turkish party

i fully agree...for this type of song i dont see how these words can be annoying or 'cheap'....actually,on the contrary ,they suit the song perfectly!!i
