February 6, 201312 yr Author All of the songs are decent and offer a different musical style which is great! Thomai is definitely my favourite! It's something different to usual for Greece and 'One Last Kiss' is a similar style to the amazing 'L'Amore E Femmina'!
February 7, 201312 yr 'One Last Kiss' is brilliant! Ohhh I'm really hoping Greece, Norway and Germany make the right decisions over the coming weeks... :(
February 7, 201312 yr All 4 tracks there are pretty good. Alex Leon's my favourite, but I'll be happy with whatever they decide to enter.
February 18, 201312 yr Author Koza Mostra ft. Agathonas Iakovidis and 'Alcohol Is Free' has just won!
February 18, 201312 yr Oh this one is a delightfully fun choice! Gonna be at least top 10 because, well, it's Greece.
February 18, 201312 yr It's about as fun and ethno as cot death. It isn't 1981 anymore, ska is NOT acceptable.
February 18, 201312 yr I don't mind it, although it was the worst choice of the 4. They'll still come top 10 with it though probably!
