Grounds for disqualification

Greece: Katerine Avgoustakis' song leaked?

Today, the Greek broadcaster announced the song titles and running order of the nine songs to compete in the Greek final on the 12th March. As Katerine Avgoustakis' song title was made known it was discovered that a remix of a song by the same title has been online since November 5th.

One of the rules set by the Greek broadcaster this year is that no part of the songs may be made available before March 5th when the songs will be presented officially during a televised show. All interested parties have been notified in writing. If the song online is indeed a remix of the actual candidate song then it is highly possible that Katerine's song will be disqualified.

The exact same thing happened recently in Cyprus, when the song by Deep Zone was found to have been posted in various sharing sites around the internet and was thus excluded from the Cypriot final. The issue will be discussed tomorrow at ERT headquarters so stay tuned for further updates.

DJ Rebel ft. Katerine - Enjoy the day (The video was removed at around 9.00 CET)

Yes Eleftheria as she said to a magazine she will sing an uptempo modern song that makes her to dance.

Besides, where did you get the idea that esctoday is a platform to insult other members?

If Melisses are amateurs we saw the "professionals" Vissi and Rouvas how good they resulted in ESC. It s not a matter of how many cds you have released it s a matter of song and performance and that is all that it counts. Melisses are fresh, young and the guy has a great voice. We need no more promos, videoclips of the 80s and divas to get us a good position.

And if you read my comments you could have read that I both love "Kryfa" and this remix of "Enjoy the day". If I would react similar like you at anyone who writes something negative about the Netherlands, then 24 hours in a day would be not enough.

I read that she can find another song and participate..can she do that??Or once again stupid rumors?

@ w Z

I insult only you cause your comments are full of negative thinking as always.I still believe that Katerine as an artist is the best choice for Greece but the song is not so good.

@ Daniela
I just like the style of Melisses and this one song....is this bad?
I like them.....

Melisses are amateurs from one song u think they can do something..lol have u seen them onstage...u judge a videoclip?
We have to admit that Greece is left with a bunch of amateurs and singers which have yearssssssssss to do a success!

Konstantinos, until 5 minutes ago you were convinced Katerine was the best choice for Greece, and you were rather insulting to people who claimed otherwise.


RTL [30584]
Tue 9 Feb 2010 14:12:56

i have to admit that the new remix is much better... I feel the original track must be even better... so I think we are probably losing something good here...

all my hopes are in Melisses. and i wish they sing in GREEK!

Greece will go to the final with good or bad song like every year.....the point is that the disqualification of Katerine's song is not sth important cause the song is a crap.
I am sure there are much better songs than this one in the Greek NF that can score high....I hope Melisses have the best one... :)

Each broadcaster can make it's own rules within the rules of EBU.

The release was after the 1 of October 2009 (if you read clearly the rules from Eurovision 2010 it says the 1 of October not the 31 of October as the rumors have spreaded ,the exact day uploaded was the 5 of November 2009, this needs to be considered by the ERT.
