Greece GREECE 2016 - Argo - Utopian Land

[Leydan]

Really kinda disappointed tbh. it's sounds very messy, and cheap, as if no proper thought was put into it. This could be so much better and more epic than it actually turns out to be. The lyrics sound kinda meh as well in parts. :? The only redeeming part is that there is Greek in it. I really see Greece struggling to make it this time round, especially from semi 1.

It is actually much better than expected! Sure it is no "Alcohol Is Free", this is more of a statement than a song, but that makes the song only better in my opinion. And also it isn't over the place, it is still a really nice melody, it has some thought to this.
Good job Greece, good luck in May!

 

[ag89]

I like it. This will qualify.

 

[toinou03]

I do like it !
And anyway, Greece has had worse entries :

"Oh oh oh you ake me dance dance like a maniac"... :?

 

[Kosmopolj]

General the harmony of disharmony.
Great confusion in the songs.
Maybe but maybe pass to the finals, and total scores around or behind the 20 positions !
You disappoint and it really!
Salute from Serbia...

 

[Lordemort]

And I thought there couldn't be a song that's worse than Greece 2014

 

[Sammy]

It starts really good! Ethnic vibes, greek lyrics, I was expecting a lot.
But then - what a disappointment. The chorus is repetitiv and boring, the singers are slightly of tune (or is it the weakness of their voice that gives that impression?) even in the studio version, the verses are neither rap nor singing (something in-between).
Any other country would stay in the semi for sure, but since it's Greece, we'll have the questionable pleasure of hearing this twice. Well - perhaps there will be a revamp, but even then, it wouldn't save the song for me.

- THIS GREEK SONG IS MESSY AND THE CHORUS, IT DOESN'T HAVE A SEQUENCE!
+ But what about LoveWave or Icebreaker?

- THAT'S DIFFERENT!

 

[EvNickGR]

^This. At least, it's different, I wouldn't like this year to send a pop/swedish/ballad song again!! So, we will see how it will be on stage...

Please... don't compare those 2 masterpieces with this bland thing.

It's so funny to see how bunch of ESC fans say year after year "Ok, this year Greece will fail to qualify", "Ok, this is the worst Greek entry in the last 10 years".



That's what people said in 2013, 2011, 2012 etc.

Icebreaker a masterpiece ? Ok calm down a little bit, I like the song but is no masterpiece.

All 3 of those entries were A LOT better than this, they were all obvious qualifiers for Greece. This song is not, especially in Semi 1.

 

[DaFlo]

Uff.. not quite the slayage I hoped for
The chorus is kinda fun, but generally the song sounds a bit weak

7 for now

 

[sapsan]

HATE IT
I hope they will be as high as Serhat from San Marino.

 

[Salmon]

Honestly? I absolutely adore this. This is exactly what I watch Eurovision for (apart from unintentionally hilarious trash, but we have Serhat for that already). I’m so damn happy to see Greece leaving their dancepop/ballad strategy behind and sending something truly Greek – and I’ve read the lyrics are quite meaningful as well.

Huge props for sending riskier stuff, and I’m quite a sucker for the ethnic beats in this song. The contrast in sound between the verses and the chorus is fairly interesting and well done too.

 

[SwissKung]

I absolutely love the instrumental parts of the song, I think it all comes together very well. Unfortunately, I'm not really fond of the singers or rapper voices.... Still, a much stronger song than last year. 7 points

 

[John1]

I simply adore this. Everyone doubted on the ability of Greece to keep their 100% success rate... from France, well deserved.

 

[Chorizo]

The first few seconds of the video are really good. It's ironic that Greece sends a song with this title and the black-and-white video makes it look rather dystopian.
Then the lyrics start after 30 seconds and the video loses its appeal. The next 30 seconds are pretty awful. Later the song improves again and I like part of the song later on but I really hate the beginning. Some parts of the song I really like but others are rather annoying.
Overall I give it 7 points.

 

[Gera11]

This is probably the first and only 0 I give this year. What the hell is this, Greece? Absolutely cheap and bland.
