June 27, 20169 yr Author 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!) Full details at Wiwibloggs! -tuHSnQGZd8
June 27, 20169 yr 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". Broadcaster goals :lol:!
June 27, 20169 yr Author Denmark need to do the same with whoever keeps putting boybands in their national final!
June 29, 20169 yr 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.
October 7, 20168 yr Well SOMEONE is needed to get Greece back on track after the past two awful entries so YES!!
October 7, 20168 yr 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.
January 13, 20178 yr It's been reported today that Demy has been internally selected to represent Greece with a national final to choose her song for Kyiv.
January 13, 20178 yr 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!
January 29, 20178 yr Demy is AMAZING. The only other Greek singer I follow, other than Helena Paparizou. If you're not familiar: FfATuLjfsyE 66Ue3FwAH4U TGP_2DmollE and her cover of last year's 'If Love Was a Crime' 42fxJUht8Oo
January 31, 20178 yr After a few dull years it looks like Greece are going for it this year. Without hearing the songs i have excitement for them already.
February 15, 20178 yr 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.
March 6, 20178 yr Author 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...

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!
March 6, 20178 yr Author One hour in and no songs yet! *.* It has meant I can watch the soaps and not miss anything :cheer:
March 6, 20178 yr 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
