Greece GREECE 2016 - Argo - Utopian Land

[tsegaye]

I don't remember if I posted my thoughts about the song so I'll do it now anyways:


I'm quite torn because I don't know if I like it or not. I like the chorus and its odd tempo changes, but the verses is too long and boring. It could have been soo great but it turns out just okay for me, and the chorus brings its overall impression A LOT. 7 points for now, but it might grow on me because I like the pontian sounds.

 

[Kairit]

Really like this. An absolute joy to listen to.

 

[Fluke]

Anyone know why the artists don't appear in the video? Any idea what they might look like on stage?

 

[nunaney]

This song keeps getting stuck in my head. It might be in my top 10 now.

 

[PeterLPZ]

The beginning is great, but then it has nothing for me. Unfortunately.

It's very different from the others and it doesn't sound like a song written especially for ESC. Nice try.

 

[NikkiBoy]

3 points for now, the song is stuck in my head, but not in a good way. Maybe it'll grow on me, but for now it does nothing for me

It sounds a bit weird which is the reason I love this!!! Not a fanof the chorus but the rap and ethnic mix totally makes it a worthy entry. Yes yes... One of the few songs in competition that I can listen to again.

 

[nunaney]

This just grows on me more and more. I kept trying to tell myself that I'd be fine with sacrificing Greece if it means Croata and Czech Republic can qualify but I don't think I'd be okay with that anymore. I really want this in the final.

Greece is so staying in the semi.

 

[John1]

Greece will probably withdraw next year if they don't qualify..

 

[megzpegz]

I want this to qualify for the final to, I can't stop listening to it!

 

[EvNickGR]

I don't think we will stay in the semi, we have the most different song of the contest, and we will stay in the semi only if the presentation is awful and the singer can't sing at all.

Being born and raised in Trapezounta, I simply can't resist the sound of Lyra.
But I think Greece is overusing it, huh?
All of my Greek friends that I asked told me the instrument is not very popular in Greece, but it is used in Eurovision to a great degree.
And I appreciate how you blend it perfectly with modern elements. Most of the traditional songs in my city are too...... traditional Young people don't hear it daily, except for the specific channels where that kind of music is on 24/7.
A well deserved 8 points from me.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

I think this could have been a nice song, but with different singers. I don't like it as it sounds - I give it 2 points

 

[blue00eyes]

It's a sure qualifier

Goodbye to Elias Kesides, hello to Bill Roxenos

According to newsit.gr our choreographer Maria Liraraki decided to replace a band member with the dancer Bill Roxenos in order to make our staging more powerful and memorable
So, that means that although Elias is still a member of Argo, is going to watch the contest from... the greenroom.

Some pics of Bill

Let's see how this will go...:? I have faith in Maria

I've been listening to this song non-stop...definitely one of the best this year, and besides of my personal preferences, I see this doing well in Stockholm. I don't know why many people are so sure that it will flop and might be the first DNQ for Greece... I hope to be proved right, because we need to enocurage other delegations to send spngs in their national language sometimes too.
