[ESC United Mod Team]

The only good thing would be that we have 2 equally big Semi Finals.

Fixed it for you.

(you´re right, though)

Klavdia's submission that made the top-7 (but not top-3) is now available on spotify. Not impessed, but her voice sounds lovely. She should try again next year with another song.

Pretty but boring for ESC, wouldnt stand out. I dont like Victor's snippet at all but I think he was a better choice than her.

 

[rasmuslights]

I really like this tbh. Would probs be in my top 10.

 

[tararaaam]

Sounds particularly weak, for now the choice of ERT makes sense to me. That wouldnt go further than the semis.

What i find laughable is that Greece is a country in which ESC is extemely popular, there's a decent music industry, yet we get songs like Shout Out, Liar, What They Say , Holy Water etc...ERT does not even seem to try. We deserve better than this.

While not being anything earth shatterin Holy Water is certainly better than the Hannah Montana song.

Greece used to be one of my favorite countries at Eurovision. You guys gave us Helena Paparizou, Kalomoira, Giorgios and his bop Opa, Eleftheria. The only entry that I really liked in the last few years was Gianna Terzi and her not qualifying was a crime. I sometimes listen to greek music and would like something in greek instead of these english songs.

Lithuania is pretty likely to send a Hannah Montana song if anyone is sad about the lack of one

That's more like the early career Avril Lavigne B-track song.

 

[Grinch]

No final for this year I'm afraid

Also,

What's the tea??

 

[tararaaam]

No tea, more or less. Just people trying to politisize something that shouldnt be a matter in this case. It all boils down to the argument “we wanted Liar instead, and because this guy has a rich family, IT HAS TO BE CORRUPTION!!”.

Yianna Terzi was indeed wonderful! Never understood why she didn't qualify. She was the last Greece entry I truly liked. Since then Greece unfortunately decided to send english Pop songs. It would be so much better to return to the roots!

I actually like this better than the snippet from "What They Say" ....i don't know.

Obviously one is a full song and the other is a snippet.

She actually had a 10th place with t/v but juries killed her. But this year there are no juries in semifinals so a more polished entry in Greek could easily qualify even if it's not jury-friendly. Average english pop song, like what is probably Victor's entry going to be, is less safe this year imo.

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

Obviously one is a full okay song and the other is a snippet mess made by a 14yo

fixed it for you

Now jokes aside, it seems they produced What they say from scratch a few days ago, maybe there's hope? Not that I trust Panik...
Say what you want about the Dream team, but the production of Last dance and what Kontopoulos did to Die together production-wise were impeccable. Kontopoulos could have eurovision-ise "What they say" a lot.
Ah, who would have thought I would be missing Kontopoulos.

Who is funding Melissa's lawsuit? My theory is that its Gustaph

One minute has leaked on TikTok. I didn't hear the demo version but this sounds okay I guess, but the vocals are a bit messy, you can't really hear the words.

This is the demo version. He recorded it from scratch with different production
