Greece GREECE 2024 - Marina Satti - Zari

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[rasmuslights]

Another from me! Please don't disappoint with the staging!

Imagine thinking that this wont qualify in the 2nd semi, over songs like Malta, Denmark, Czechia, Latvia and San Marino, and with televoters only deciding the result

6 songs need to nq and casuals and fans don't 100% agree, I've only got Malta and San Marino as likely out with the others you mention being I lean out but wouldn't be surprised if they qualify and Greece being lean in but I wouldn't be surprised to see it nq

 

[goncalovieira]

Man, this is 110% qualifying.
It is taking advantage from a trendy genre that has no representation in Eurovision

Well lets have this talk when we see this staged, its too soon. With Fokas Evaggelinos and Rosalia's choreographer, can it really go that wrong? The thing that worries me is how juries will see this, but in a semi where televoters only vote? It will sail through, especially if they bring ethnic and comical elements into the performance too. Cant see how televoters would snob this for bland and flat entries in english.

 

[mercachita]

I absolutely loved it! Every part of the song gives me something unexpected, and everything makes so much sense in the end. Greece is finally sending a song that I enjoy a lot and after 14 years they can be on my top 3 until May!!

pts without any doubt

As I said I lean q which means I will move it when I have more info, but bland flat entries can stand out this year as there's plenty of crazy and I've learnt not to trust what I see on paper. If Belgium weren't her I'd be 100% certain either Denmark or Latvia would qualify and I still think there's every chance that one of them will.

Denmark feels like a semi last placer and Don is just not televote friendly, theres no way one of those does better than Marina with the televoters

Okay, you got me, 8 --> 12, the outro is inspired, also one of the best and most effective music videos in Eurovision history

 

[Fluke]

Whoa, that was COMPLETELY out of nowhere.... really didn't expect this turn for Greece. I'll definitely have to listen to this more times to be sure, but i like it, that's for sure, even if it's a bit messy and almost amateurish sounding. It's kinda like "Toy" or "Igranka" bordering on "Euro Neuro" territory.

It's about time, both that Greek abandons their safe mainstream pop, and sends a really ethnic entry. This really plays up the "eastern" aspect of Greek culture. Which could also be interpreted as a pro-Palestinian political statement, even if Israelis also claim some of it to be "theirs", it's probably going to be percieved as more Middle Eastern to most. And it's sure to appeal to those minorities all over Europe, even if the song might be a bit inaccessible, not to mention the language, i think it will get enough votes for that reason, still.

Really curious what they got in mind for the performance, i imagine the final bit with the two dancers by her side is something they intend to include in the staging, but i wonder if it's going to be straightforward or have some crazy narrative, theatrical/prop-filled concept, if she's going to look like in the video or some unusual, special outfit... what a crazy year this is gonna be!

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

I quite like the song.

Well that video was certainly not what I was expecting.

I have a soft spot for Athens and Greece more generally, so I liked the video.

 

[gingerale]

After 24 hours I'm still not sure if this song is interesting or just tries really hard to be interesting.

 

[Lilian]

Dark horse

 

[SpZ]

This is really annoying. Could be somewhat saved by staging.

 

[marty]

With a good staging this could be alright. But I dont think this can reach the top 10.

 

[CC92]

I like it. A little afraid though it might suffer the same fate as Utopian land which had a similar amateurish feel to it.

Not Argo
She literally has Loreen's choreographer, pretty confident what we will see wont be amateurish.

I don't think loreen's choreographer is what made the choreography non amateurish, I'm pretty sure most people would look amateurish performing it.

 

[crashworld]

Sorry, what is this mess? It's borderline unlistenable. Giving this a for the effort of trying to be different (but fail).

 

[Seregil Korit]

I mean, this is stuff that I listen to generally, so I love it.
Marina's voice is infectious and the beat really brings all the different parts of the song together. It's so her and it's so Greek as well. Definitely something Greek fans should be proud of. and it goes straight to my top 3, probably my favourite this year after a few listens too.

Majnoon and 2 of the dancers during rehearsals. This has the potential to slap so hard live. Plz, don't mess it up, guyz.
