Okay, it may only be June but Greece - one of the most quiet countries last year - are dishing out rumours left, right and centre. Greece's national broadcaster were "devastated" by their first DNQ and have claimed that the person in charge last year will "never have anything to do with choosing the Greek Eurovision entry ever again".

ERT have reportedly already approached Demy, one of the most popular female Greek singers and are also reportedly reaching out to the Greek dream team of Dimitris Kontopoulos and Fokas Evaggelinos to write and stage her entry, most recently well known of being involved with Russia's entry this year.

Seems like a match made in heaven and I'm pleasantly surprised Greece are actually going for success despite their financial situation. (9 months later we end up with Argo 2.0... - I did warm to Argo in the end though!)

I compliment Greece to the DNQ as they dont want it to happen again. For some countries and Greece been a great example can give them a kick up the back side in what they send to Eurovision.

I know many people have the same issue with Denmark, while i have liked their entries ( this year included) i can see the points are valid.

Nooooo. I love Helena but I really don't want another Ira and countries turning to former winners/generally successful contestants in desperate times never works out.

It's been reported today that Demy has been internally selected to represent Greece with a national final to choose her song for Kyiv.

And that's been confirmed! All three songs will also be penned by Dimitris Kontopoulos and Fokas Evangelinos (aka the people who wrote the Russian song last year).

Greece pretty much officially BACK IN BUSINESS!

Demy is AMAZING. The only other Greek singer I follow, other than Helena Paparizou.

If you're not familiar:




and her cover of last year's 'If Love Was a Crime'

The national final to select Demy's entry is set for 6th March. There won't be any live performances, just the three music videos which Demy is shooting soon in Odessa. Dimitris Kontopoulos ('You Are The Only One' producer) has composed and produced all 3 songs which have been described as 'a radio friendly pop-rock ballad' 'an American style ballad' and 'a song that starts as a ballad then evolves into a dance banger'.

70% of the result will come from televoting and the remaining 30% from the juries, who will be made up of people from the Greek diaspora from all over Europe and not music industry professionals.

Don't really need this one as Adam says all you need to know above, but just so the set is complete! And this is my final one for the 2017 season as I'll be coming back from Sweden when the rest of the finals happen, Adam will be guiding you through them on Friday/Saturday.

TONIGHT'S NATIONAL FINAL...
GREECE



Song Selection Final


6th March 2017
Begins at 8pm in the UK, 9pm Central European Time and 10pm in Greece.
The show is scheduled to last 2 hours.

Watch the selection via the official ERT webcast.


The participants
Demy - Angels
Demy - This Is Love
Demy - When The Morning Comes Around

Voting format
70% of the result will come from televoting and the remaining 30% from a public jury which will consist of people from the Greek diaspora from all over Europe rather than music industry professionals. These diaspora members will reportedly be from Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Georgia, Germany, Italy and Ukraine.

The favourites to win
The songs won't be revealed until the show itself although a demo version of 'This Is Love' was leaked a few days ago, receiving mixed reactions from Eurovision fans. I personally thought it was FAB!

This is reminding me of 'Icebreaker' in terms of the clunky transition. I know it is meant to 'build' but I feel her vocals are too soft in the 'banger' of a chrous.

will probably love this next month though lmao
