You will probably never listen again Greek language to Eurovision because its clear now with english languege we do better and we always qualify. So english language is the solution.

If Slovenia can qualify with a very subtle song in Slovenian and introvert performance then I don't see why Greece couldn't make it to the finals with an entry in Greek? Problem is the juries have a quest against local sounding entries, regardless of language almost, but even more against the more authentic ones which is why you failed last year. I wouldn't say the language alone was the issue.

You are right on that but usually local sounds are on local language too.
I'm really interested how Katerina will do on juries this time.

Well Oniro Mou had a terrible performance so it is no wonder it didn't qualify. That semi was very strong too so Greece did not deserve it.

I really think that the problem of it looking, as some people said, messy, is totally a matter of weak camera work. Generally cute song, vocals were nice even if she was clearly almost having a panic attack on stage. I guess that's why it all sounded toned down. Still, really satisfied with the result.
I predict a 12th-14th placement.

The staging is kind of problematic for me, but I still love this song a lot. Well deserved qualification xup :D

Anyone else think she signs too quietly in the first verse? She sounds best when she is belting her voice or at least sings louder.

Well this is killed by the running order :/ Once again reminding us how the current system is unfair.

Katerine was very nervous and the camera work should be a lot better, but still one of the best songs this year, like it or not, she deserves that top 10.

I'm really angry about Greece's position in the odds. 16th place is really unfair. And so is 15th place for Cyprus. The running order doesn't help a lot but at least there is a break after Greece so people may remember Katerine. I hope they get the camera angles right this time.

While it's nice enough I just have a feeling it could have been really good, so it's annoying that the potential of the music likely hasn't been fully realised.

Demy remains rightfully the most successful Greek Entry for the last 6 Years.

Never liked it very much, I really liked her performances during ESC season only, I am in shock she' s lower than San Marino.

I guess Katerine and Conan can bond over their shared hatred of Serhat :lol::lol:
