Due to some songs leaking, Greece have made all songs public:

Song 1
Song 2
Song 3
Song 4
Song 5
Song 6
Song 7

Sorry I can't give the names of the singers and songs - they're all Greek to me tongue.gif (dunno if that joke is understood all over Europe, what I mean is that names of artists and some songs seem to be in Greek, and I can't understand Greek)

No wonder song 6 sounds Chinese - I've heard the English translation of the title is "Chinese".

My favourite is song 1 - "Illusion" - even though I hated last year's "Illusion"

But I do like elements of all songs smile.gif

Christos Hatzinasios - Illusion
George Karadimos - Polemao
Émigré - Touch me deep inside
Giorgos Alkeos & Friends - OPA
Manos Pyrovolakis - Kivotos tou Noe
Melisses - Kinezos
Sunny Baltzis & Second Skin - Game of life

These are titles and artists in english 'translation'. I'm sure defining which one os which is not necessary tongue.gif

Listening to them atm. Can't cache them as the site seems to be protected from it cry.gif

Brilliant selection!

All songs are very ethnic and hence very appealing. Not a single embarassing entry (unlike any other NFs) nevermind novelty one. I love how serious Greeks think about Eurovision wub.gif

I agree. There are certainly some I prefer more than others, but none are really bad, and all have good things about them. Though my favourite, "Illusion", is probably the most unoriginal tongue.gif

Worst Greek entry in many years. Shame.

Not a massive fan of that but it's relatively tuneful at least...

I think it will do well, as it sounds like the sort of song that will appeal to people, but it's my least favourite Greek entry since 2002 maybe? I even liked Mando!

This is quite good! I think it will do relatively well against the dirge selected so far. All that leather makes it look rather homoerotic. heehee.gif

It's alright...will be top ten I should think, though that's only because it's such a p*** poor year.

The production on this is fantastic! They needed Elena Paparizou or someone like that on vocals though...

An ok song, certainly not the best in the selection. To say it's Greece, I'd have expected better. Still, better than a lot this year. Won't be in my top 10.

I think Greece could be onto a winner with this song.

It's catchy, sold well on stage and very well performed. As for replacing the singer, I think it's fine with Girogos. We don't need another bimbo representing Greece.

Instead we need another balding and slightly overweight Greek stereotype? kink.gif

TELEVOTING:
Giorgos Alkaios = 12 points
Manos Pyrovolakis = 10 points
Giorgos Karademos = 08 points

JURY VOTING:
Giorgos Karademos = 12 points
Manos Pyrovolakis = 10 points
Giorgos Alkaios = 08 points

All three got 20pts, but in case of a tie, it had been decided that the tele-vote would determine the winner. Overall, about 60,000 votes were cast. Dunno about the population/viewing figures/cost of a vote is compared to in Sweden, but one song can get that many votes in a heat ohmy.gif
