Greece-Cyprus party hugely successful

Maybe the largest Eurovision delegation party took place last night at the Euroclub. Greece and Cyprus welcomed no less than 17 delegations and over 1500 guests in a party that went on deep into the night.

"Party spirit has been locked behind the decks! Femme fatale has the Secret Combination! Join them in a liberating dancing experience! Get into the cofluence of the Greek-Cypriot sound!" said the invitation and it seems the Greeks kept their promise.

Seventeen delegations joined the party organised by ERT and RIK and Kalomira together with Evdokia Kadi from Cyprus welcomed each artist and escorted them on stage where many of them performed.

Present last night where the artists (in alphabetical order)Andorra, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Estonia, Georgia, Ireland, Lithuania, Malta, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Slovenia and Turkey.

The party was organised by ERT International Relations Department's Agis Menoutis and Monique Papadatou, hosted by ERT reporters Dimitra Akriotou and Despina Fagkra and DJ Antonis Karatzikos, president of OGAE Greece and OGAE International Coordinator provided the guests with Eurovision music.

(I´m talkink about the English translation of the Turkiesh entry of course)
"Half sane, half crazy i am.
sane all around me, crazy, one side of me.
everybody else sane, crazy, only me"

A fact?

Well it´s quite the opposite IMO. I really like the cypriotic entry while the greek entry bores me to death. "Secret combination" is "just" a Britney-style of song where "a few" greek elements have been thrown in for a national touch. Ice cold if you ask me. Greece have been and should be so much better.

BUT Greece will probably secure a place in the final while Cyprus will be left out. That´s the cruel world of truth. :)

But good luck to both contestants!

Sounght, the owner of my soul
Did I fall fight into the spot?
Resisting the subject of my passion
Angered and shrunken

Resisting, resisting, resisting...
Raise me
Don’t make me cry
Where is the love

Raise me
Don’t make me cry
Don’t waste my time
With fake dreams
Sougt, theowner of my soul
Did I fall right into the spot?
Resisting, the subject of my passion
Angered and shrunken

Did I fall right into the spot?
Resisting, resisting, resisting...

James S,
NO! I think Greece should try something new, unstead of staying in the shadow of Sakis & Helena, and this time with a Britney-clone... :( Anna Vissi was great, but since - back to the same again...

wow 1500 guests. that sounds a big success. well done girls.

Cyprus should qualify at last this year. Evridiki's place in the semifinal in 2007 was UNFAIR and Evdokia should get revenge!!
