Greece GREECE 2023 - Victor Vernicos - What They Say

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[JohnArg]

ERT's management team, the Greek delegation and Dream Team met yesterday for the first time all together after Eurovision 2022. They celebrated their success in Torino and the second top10 in a row (sth that only Italy and Ukraine has managed in the last 2 contests). It's very early of course to predict what will happen in Eurovision 2023, but ERT wants to mantain its top10 strike and the quality entries Greece has in this decade. Get ready for sth different this year ... Sth Greece has never sent to the contest before!

Whatever you send Greece, I always S.A.G.A.P.O. ες εϊ τζι εϊ πι όου

Well, with the exception of 2002.

The horror team again?

Doesn't Greece has anyone else? And who in their right mind want to be associated with russia these days anyways (unless they keep the russian side of the team out of the picture that is, but still a boring choice)

Something new? Heavy metal then!

Something new? Heavy metal then!

Or some magical electrofolk in Greek langauge.

 

[lilka]

Oh yes please. It should be forbidden to Greece to sing in any language other than Greek!

Someone plz, just bring @DaFlo back to the forum. Katerina Stikoudi has entered the race of the Greek selection for ESC 2023.

She recently followed a few eurovision-related accounts on instagram, included eurovisionfun.

Let's remember some of her masterpieces.

Who writes all these lyrics?
This is even "better" than some of the "best" creations of Karvelas

Greece, give her a chance, pls!

Evangelia: "I'm sending in a song for Eurovision 2023"! - Eurovision News | Music | Fun

As we have already revealed, the Greek artists’ interest in participating in Eurovision 2023 is particularly strong! And while the first rumours have already begun to spread, we already have the first official confirmation from none other than Evangelia, a promising young artist who came into...

eurovisionfun.com

She said she is sending a song for ESC 2023, though she did not clarify whether she meant Greece, Cyprus or both.

Right after her interview, an "angry" editorial from eurovisionfun was published. The author suggests that ERT should ban from its selection process all the artists who bid for both Greece and other countries at the same year (unless they have already been rejected by the other national broadcasters).

Editorial: Να απαγορεύσει η ΕΡΤ την υποβολή συμμετοχών και σε άλλες χώρες! - Eurovision News | Music | Fun

Βρισκόμαστε ήδη στην καρδιά του καλοκαιριού και οι εξελίξεις για την επιλογή της συμμετοχής μας στην Eurovision 2023 έχουν ξεκινήσει. Μπορεί να είναι ακόμη παρασκηνιακές, είναι όμως αρκετές και συνεχείς. Με αφορμή όσα δήλωσε η Ευαγγελία σε πρόσφατη συνέντευξη της, ξεδιπλώνω τις σκέψεις μου στο...

Oh gosh some Eurovision fans are simply tiring.

"El Diablo" got turned down by the Germany delegation/jury and we chose a song which ended up receiving zero televoting points instead.

Kylie Minogue turned down Britney's Grammy-award-winning pop masterpiece "Toxic" and Britney turned down Rihanna's megahit "Umbrella".

There's no need to ban artists or songs which may or may not apply for more than just one country.

seriously what's the point of it... i don't get it

 

[JohnArg]

No i didn't write an "angry" editorial about that. I said that when a song is submitted in a broadcaster it can't be submitted at the same time in another broadcaster, unless firstly it has been rejected, exactly as happened with El Diablo. I can understand Nicholas feeling for me and eurovisionfun, but changing my words won't help him. BTW that rule is in every national selection...its not sth new!
@Nicholas123 κουλή κουλή, αλλά ειμαι η αδυναμια σου ξεκαθαρα!

Some Greek beef

Dunno - Nathan applied for Germany and Austria simultaneously - our broadcaster even presented them as one of the remaining 20(?) ones before he dropped out and got announced as the Austrian entrant.

I honestly believe that some broadcaster accept artists who apply for more than one country at the same time.

Ο όρος αυτός είναι η μη δυνατότητα των υποψηφίων να καταθέσουν τα τραγούδια τους σε άλλη χώρα, όσο τουλάχιστον η συμμετοχή τους στην ΕΡΤ δεν έχει απορριφθεί και βρίσκεται εντός της διαδικασίας.

Seems logical and fair. What is all the fuss really about?
By the way, Evangelia is really good! I love "Φωτιά"!

Exactly...the reason for the "angry" editorial as @Nicholas123 says was Evangelia's behavior last year. The problem isnt when an artist takes part in 2 different national selections. The problem is when that artist send the same song in 2 selections, and the procedure still goes on in both countries.
That happened last year with Evangelia. She sent the same songs in Greece and Cyprus, without been rejected firstly in one of the two countries. She took advantage of the fact that ERT didn't include in the rules that the artists can't submit the songs they sent to ERT in other countries, as long as their songs are still in the competion. This was the reason ERT last year announced in November the 5 artists that qualified in the sec and final round of the selection, so the other artists could make their plans. Evangelia before that announcement sent the same songs to RIK. This won't happen this year as ERT will include that rule, as all the other countries.

You have such a big heart when it comes to Natalia. It's really touching.

I mean, realistically speaking she is probably the prime candidate or at least one of them. I'd be surprised if she doesn't represent either Greece or Cyprus in Eurovision if not this year definitely next year.
