@DAN WILSON,
I said they are usually remixes or English covers. Of course there are always some singers who do not have imagination with that subject and just want to promote their new single like Rouvas. As for Vandi, to many Greeks Destiny would be considered a special MAD song since it is in English, with a foreing band, and they never heard it before. Vandi is just now going to release destiny to the Greek public with the repackaging of her new album. (Many MAD artists release their remixes, English covers, and other MAD songs on their CD's as bonus's later on)
Performances from last year:
*Paparizou - Let the sunshine in cover and Mi fevgis rock version.
*Lytra and Martakis - Summer wine
* Mixas and Taraksias - Ola giro sou girizoun
*Fili gia panta, Kalomira, and Tsalikis - Teleftai efkaria
*Tourna and Zoi - O pio kalos tragoudistis
*Reamonn and Hatzigiannis - Tonight/Simira
*Tamta - Relax/Agapise Me
*Xristidou - Say it right
*Mpambali and Stereo Mike - Des Kathara (French version remix)
*Nino - When September Ends
*Giannis Terzi - Exo ponesi gia afti
*Maksimos - Anifora
*Strati - Pos Na to eksigiso
*Mazonakis - Se'xo epithmisi
*Sunrise Avenue - Fairytale Gone Band
*C:real and Stavento - Epikindina se thelo/Poso Akoma remix
Onirama - No Proper Education
Antonis Remos and Onirama - Tha'prepe remix
Sorry for such a long list (all the performers last year), but you see what I mean? Almost all of them do Remix or Covers (usually English) with the exception of some like Giorgos Mazonakis and the foriegn bands.
@Greekboy
U R partly wrong,pal....
SAKIS performed his hit-track '' + Se thelo''
&
DESPINA VANDI her smashin' UK song ''Destiny'' 
lol @ Whatever ... [29486]
This is the MAD VMA's remember. The performances are always either remixes or strange covers. That's why Zina covered "2 hearts". She said she would not put that music on her cd's though. BTW, Peggy Zina won "Fashion Icon of the year" at the MAD VMA's for Trexe.
Elena was great too. Her style of clothes fit well with her stage performance that had an ocean and sailor theme.
Alex,
the clip is really good. I remember I liked it very much when I had first seen it. But all this glitter on stage just didn't look as good to me as it did in the clip.
Check out the clip version of Shady Lady... I think it's HOT.

mmmmmmmmm Annniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I know about Tamta, but I'm sure Martakis will represent Greece next year, that's why I was surprised with Lina's comment.
Gosh no.... NOT Martakis.
GREECE'S Mad Video Music Awards = IMO, the liveliest,
coolest and most fun awards show on the planet.
With LIVE! performances by Despina Vandi (AWESOME),
Mihalis Chatzigiannis (THE BEST), Helena Paparizou (GREAT,
as usual, but her choice in clothes awful) whereas
Tamta (ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!),
Peggy Zina (NICE, but her new repertoire does not suit her
nor does her recent sense of fashion?) and many others,
but above all ... the one, the only SAKIS 
ROUVAS!!!!!!
As for Ani Lorak, thanks for coming.-
Unfortunately, GREECE'S lovely, bubbly and talented KALOMIRA
could not be there because she went to the U.S. after her un'1'quely
successful performance of "Secret Combination" at the
ESC 2008 Belgrade!!!
Ante kai tou xponou ... ta kalytepa. ACT NOW!!
@lina
what kind of proposal?
martakis manager make a propose to cyprus television for internal delegation for 2009
Аni is SUPERB! She is the best among women in Eurovision2008.
She is 29. but there is no matter she is beautiful... much more beautiful than Kalimira and Elena Paparizou. She is sweet))))))))))
she is soo fake. .. talking bad about other people...
martakis is shit.!!i liked ani lorak!!
Jonny K:
My point exactly!
MICHALIS CHATZIGIANNIS IS GREATTTTTTTTTTT.IN ESC 2009 FOR CYPRUS WHY NOT?
@ Liam,
but she's 3 months away from 30 so she's more 30 than 29 
@ Mina
"If she was born in 1978, that makes her 30..lol"
Yes, but as was stated, she was born in September, which means she hasn't had her birthday and is still 29
Desislava rules! Actually, it was a good promo for her & she should try for Eurovision next year! Tamta was gr8 as well.
OK Helena Paparizou was the queen of the night & Sakis Rouvas was better than i expected to be.
Ani Lorak looked bad.
in my opinion there is no way she is 29 r 30, i am sure she is over 35, in fact i 'm sure, or at least to me it she seems very older and i d nt think this has t do a lot with her make up. Anyway, I think she is nice and she quite impressed me with the shady-lady entry, i mean the whole package, i think i wish she would have won the contest, although my favurites for the first place were Greece, Norway and frm the non qualifiers Bulgaria, a song which I hear everyday since. And although i am no fan of Koostas Martakis i think with a very good song and a lot of work on stage(he has ne year) he could work magic on stage and win. Anyway, I think Greece will hold a very strong National Final next year.
'Ani Lorak was born in Sep 1978. That makes her 29 years old. In my opinion, she looks her age.'
If she was born in 1978, that makes her 30..lol
I think she looks around 35 but maybe it's all the make up.
OH GOD I HATE DESISLAVA I LOVE TEODORA i like her song SEX
Vincent, perhaps you should get your eye sight checked. No offence.
Ani Lorak was born in Sep 1978. That makes her 29 years old. In my opinion, she looks her age.
''As for Ani Lorak, she is nice, i liked shady lady very much, but i suppose she is much older than she says she is''
How old does she say she is?
i like Kostas Martakis very much, i hope he will sing for Greece in the ESC next year. As for Ani Lorak, she is nice, i liked shady lady very much, but i suppose she is much older than she says she is...i guess, 38 or something?
Sakis is best male artist of the year. Yessssssssssssssssssssssss!
Mina:
Provided that he sings "Always and forever"
