the worst album of her career!!!
Not even B' category names ,such as Aggeliki Iliadi do not release these albums. so boring and meaningless songs.

what a pitty for anna vissi.

also the lyrics are a shit.

In one song she says 20 times the word ''SLUT'' which is in Greek ''Tsoula''.

Shame on the old lady called Anna vissi:-)

i love anna vissi. she should come back to eurovision.

i know she probably has had surgeries but in the youtube videos she looks her age. she looks normal meaning that she just gets photoshopped all the time and always puts mad mackeup. i am glad she looks normal in real life. she is cool :)

I absolutely adore this woman, but please sweetheart, stop the treatment now, you look younger than your own daughter nowadays.....
