Not too impressed, but at least better than the last 2 Horrors and will probably do better than Demy. 6 Points when the Poll is up.

Did anyone else notice Foureira's pineapple Fyffes in the beginning of the video?

 

[John1]

That's a bop, I love it!

 

[EvNickGR]

It stays in your head after 2 times, but the most important is has a lot of stage potential!

 

[Citelis]

Looks a safe qualifier and that's the important for now!

This. You know instantly it is meant for the big eurovision stage and nothing else.

My only concern are the live vocals. The verses could really expose bad vocals but I don't know her vocal capabilities.

She's pretty good and this song isn't hard. There's nothing to worry about I would say.

Who is Athena Manoukian? Fucking NOBODY that's fucking who.

What an iconic ally awful music video lmao. 33 This is probably the least Dream Team sounding song of them all and that's very much a good thing (Uku and Natalia both found dead in a ditch). This year was in need of a certified trash bop since all the others ones are much more...respectable? This is just a good amount of fun and the lyrics are horrendous in a good way. Found my ironic stan of the year, congrats Greece, I think you might just beat Demy's record. 7 points

Welcome to my top 3 atm, Greece... uptempo and Ethnic vibes are always a pleasure for me :-)

 

[dezbee2008]

She posed a serious threat to Athena's top spot on my list, but while Armenia wins for now, I can at least say that Greece delivered. It might not be 'the bop' I was looking for, but I'm glad they did, considering who was behind the song

 

[Edweis]

Right in the middle. It suits her, I like the ethno elements but her voice is pretty ordinary and there is nothing outstanding for me to give it more than . It could be a grower though.

 

[AleksTheDino]

Who is Athena Manoukian? Fucking NOBODY that's fucking who.

I like both but I still prefer Athena a bit

 

[stephanos13]

wow this one is actually good lmao i certainly didn't expect it at all. who or what is arcade? because they are among the composers and they clearly did most of the work here, this doesn't sound like a vaughn/kontopoulos slog at all. it's more unique and more professional than our other current female attempts at A Banger, even if still a bit out of fashion. greece might just get into the top 20 with this one. goals.

8 points!

I already did a post about it, there you go...

I don't think people realize that Kontopoulos didn't write the song by himself.

He is producing the music with ARCADE and ARCADE are writing the lyrics as well.
These are the songs that ARCADE produced in Greece.

Well, might as well say my peace about this one before I forget; so, firstly, the music video has a minuet of credits, seriously, why? Secondly, I prefer the Greek entry from last year and I am still shocked it didn't do as well as I feel it really deserved.

So, on to this. Look, I don't hate it, but I feel that it is perfectly fine. I feel its stuck between being a decent (even if not my cup of tea) modern pop song and a more typical Eurovision pop entry; the verses are great, the chorus and how its sung and the music there just feels dated in comparison to everything else, not offensively so but it does take something out of the song for me.

The instrumental sections have a lot of potential to be the home to some really great staging and performing moments, though I do worry that it will just end up being the singer and her backing singers dancing when personally I'd rather that she did something 'super'.

If I am to be critical, possibly harshly so, I was done with this after two minuets, if that. Granted that is partly because this isn't my kind of music.

I am fairly certain this will make it to the finals and I hope that the staging will be as electrifying as I hope and if it is, well I'll certainly bump my score up. But for the time being its a 5, but, with decent staging at the contest I can see this jumping to a 7 (or even higher).

Athena's ethno revamp will make yall eat your words ..

 

[Citelis]

Well ''Supergirl'' is better than ''Chains on you''

I actually like "Chains on you" much more cause it has really interesting vibes and is rather unpredictable.

''Supergirl'' has potential for great staging!

''Supergirl'' has potential for great staging!

So does "Chains on you". But lets see which one of them truly uses her potential.
