I like this quite a lot actually! :D It has a surprisingly "normal" sound in the melody, but her voice is really raising the song to new heights. The only bad thing is that it can be a little messy there towards the end, but overall, a really solid greek entry, nice to hear something different from the greeks. Good luck Greece! :D

Just listened through this a couple of times and... eh, it's not my cup of tea. It's very midtempo radio pop without much in the way of growth, atmosphere or wham moments, and that's just not what I go for. Similarly not a fan of the vocals, though I at least appreciate that they're a bit different from the norm.

Glad to see other people enjoying this, but unless this is a huge grower I doubt I'll be joining in. 4 points for now, and that's on the generous side.

amazing video that gives me hope greece will have good staging for once. the song is nothing groundbreaking but still solid. 8 points, so much better than tamta lol.

Now I come up with what her voice sounds like! In this song. she really sounds like a heavenly mix Amy Winehouse and Annie Lennox, two of the greatest voices in music history if you ask me. If she pulls out this live, then I will like get goosebumps all over my body. :mrgreen:

THE GOOD:
-She has good vocals.
-The instrumentals pair up well with her vocals.

THE BAD:
-I guess the song just doesn't quite do it for me. It's a good song and that's it, really.

THE VERDICT:
Nothing else much to say about this song other than what I have above. I like that it's not the typical entry from Greece, but that's about it. 8 points

This is basically the name that people have been throwing at Katerine's face throughout her entire career tbh :lol:

I personally don't see Amy in this particular song. Not like "One in A Million" for example

Yeah, in that song it is definitely more Amy. While in "Better Love" you get a slight hint of it and more on the Annie Lennox side of it. And I was raised with Eurythmics and Annies songs, so it is no wonder I love singers that is close to her tone sorta. :D And I am sure that my mom, a strong Eurythmics fan, will fall in love with Katerine this year! :D

Oh... I really, really like this! I wasn't expecting this from Greece. This song has a very "Clare McGuire" vibe which I really, really like it!

I'm really surprised! I'm giving it 12 pts!

Absolutely. At certain points I feel like it's actually Annie Lennox singing.

I like it! I get a bit tired of the chorus by the end of the song, but it's a great entry. Good luck Greece!

except her voice i cant find anything special in this song. i think it will not do good in tel aviv. it is one of the many ok Songs which will not get a lot of attention. 4 points.

It’s good, I like it, but the same thing is happening all over again this season, countries keep releasing songs and most of them stay in the middle of the road. Greece is sending a unique voice this year but with a boring song. I still give it 7 points for the excellent production and the competitive entry. Not for a top 10 though.
