Greece GREECE 2024 - Marina Satti - Zari

why just before Switzerland? I was discussing with a friend this morning and my two predictions were that we would not be next to Switzerland or Armenia. At least I got the second one.

Its bizzare. Both songs with rap and constant switch ups one after another... the biggest favorites of the first half so early. They should have put Czechia in between at least to break the craziness up

The running order is probably the worst we ever got in semifinal but it shouldn't matter since they entry should be a very safe qualifier.
For a borderline qualifier though this would be the final nail in the coffin.

Would it? I don't think anyone though Lithuania 2022 was a safe qualifier

So, 30 Years after their first World Cup Qualification, 20 Years after the legendary Euro 2004 and 10 Years after their strongest World Cup, fails to qualify vs ....well....

How is that possible?

That's the karma for that stolen penalty against Ivory Coast in group stage 2014, since then they keep losing to penalties in decisive games

This is among the most annoying songs of the season for me. Why do many people like this so much? I honestly have to give this points. The Da da da parts are SO annoying. I appreciate the ethnic touch but its just not good music in my opinion.

So this year everyone in Greece is talking about ESC, today the theme was the slot in the running order on some tv shows, some saying that maybe the staging is weak/hasnt impressed the organisers, otherwise they wouldnt have put GRE-SWI one after another that early in the semi.
Im just praying they havent gone too minimalistic with the staging, basing all of on their hopes on the '' one shot '' trick, coz most of people arent even going to get a technical detail like that one when watching.
On the other hand, we may be reading way much into this, and Bjorkman maybe just wanted a very strong first part, as the end of the semi is very strong too.

Greek football has faded in the last decade. At least this time they fought for qualification in a tough group against and . Maybe next time

The song is still low in my ranking, but let's see what the staging brings.

Zari certified Platinum, correct me if I'm wrong but it seems the first Greek ESC entry to achieve such result in

Today is Greece's 50th anniversary in the Eurovision Song Contest.

On a personal note, the 50th participation anniversary of a country I fell deeply in love with 18 years ago also thanks to Eurovision.

So I guess it's a... Happy Birthday Greece! (Και ένα "χρόνια πολλά" από μένα )

 

[lilka]

That was uploaded some time ago, but because yesterday was the day, I thought I would post it here. That's a wonderful tribute to the 50 years.

Anna...

Changing my score to 10. My favorite Greek entry since Opa!.

 

[Hy Dranger]

Having just watched the music video I'm going to put this in the same class as the Estonian entry (and Finland last year)—totally bonkers! But it also reminds me of the Cypriot entry—another comedy video. Right now I have no idea what score to give the song itself, which does actually have quite a heavy vibe (another "bad boyfriend" song, why are they so common?), I'll have to listen to it again later. Marina's range is quite startling! Like Finland 2023 I suspect it will either take the world by storm, or have everyone run away screaming . . . .
