...and then iff it was shot in a maternity hospital, it would hv been intended to sell diapers...?!! :lol:

Yes, you can also produce a song to sell diapers...
But i dont understand what you want to say with this silly sentence. It depends on the intention from which you want to achieve with the song.
Do you have commercial reasons or not.

This sounds a bit old-fashioned to me. Like it's been years since Helena Paparizou and Kalomira. This formula doesn't work anymore, I think.
Greece should bring more entries like the one last year. That sounded nice!

The problem with this is not the fornula, but that it's too weak in its genre. This is no way near Helena's or Kalomira's entries. Last year was 50% great (chorus) / 50% massacre (awful rap parts).

Yes, the rap parts were way too weird, but the Greek part was beautiful :)
I also agree Helena's or Kalomira's were better, but still I'm not very fond of this kind of music.

Well, that's matter of taste I guess. I like the style, but this is a little too simple and cheesy though. I'd hope they send a 'real' modern Laika pop though one day, and not some Swedish penned pseudo-Greek pop like this time. I want stuff like Despina Vandi & Elli Kokkinou, no compromise for 'western ears'.

The rap part last year was 45 seconds,so it was only the 1/4 of the song.And the lyrics of the rap song were AMAZING!

Each to their own, I thought it was dreadful to say the least, and the guy couldn't even rap, it was so amateur.

The fact that it was 1/4? of the song, yet sounded like half the song, kinda proves how bad it was :lol:

Well the guy yes,was not good at the rap part.
About the rap lyrics

I was born so betrayed, who am I - what I'll be?
What is mine in this life? Just the heaven and sea
No I won't give them up, they're my fortune, my proof
Don't believe what you hear, cause their truth kills your truth
The duty I've got is my war against fear
and I want you with me, I want you so near
Watch my dance Head up high Hands like wings and I'll fly
I have heard many words but I still won't forget
the language of my body the sound my heart makes
so I'm staying alive and my losses won't let
my soul to surrender, the power of loss is my bet
Watch my dance Head up high Hands like wings and I'll fly


well,if these lyrics are dreadfull,and a guy who sings that he wiil be popular,and then he will *&^% her,are nice lyrics,
so yes its so subjective.

Who said "Popular" had good lyrics??

Wow, you really can't take any critic against your entry now can you?

Maybe the lyrics were ok, but he was a dreadful rapper which destroyed what could have been an overall great song. But that's just my opinion on the song. It was a waste, because had Loukas sang verses instead, it would have been one of the better Greek entries ever.

I fear that Greece will be outside the top 10 this year. It's to much of a copy of a copy of former Greek entries...

i think that Greece will make the Top10 again this year! Why "Always" by Arash & Aysel and not "Aphrodisiac"?

last year everyone thought that Loukas wouldn't even make to the final. and he came 1st at the semi-final at 7th overall (3rd only by televoting).
The presentation counts, and i'm sure we'll do great things as always. Rigos' direction last year was fantastic!

I'm quite sure that Greece will go into the top 10. Their song is good and the singer is maybe the sexiest at Eurovision 2012. Another fact that we shouldn't forget is that Greece always ends up in top 10 since 2004.
