Nana Mouskouri to open the final televoting
Mouskouri will start the televoting by turning a big sand clock, an ancient Greek instrument to measure time.
Step by step, host broadcaster ERT is revealing more surprises for the semifinal and final of this year's Eurovision Song Contest. One thing seems to be sure; there is a lot more to come!

Interesting comments about Greece. What do you say about people you don't like?
Nana is great!I have so many albums with Nana Mouskouri!NANA is amazing,ANNA is...ANNA!I didn't know about ANNA until this year(when I wotched her hit "Call me" 
,but Nana is incredible!
i hear that anna vissi and nana will be wearing yellow! go the bannannas
Go (N)ANNA, Go Greece!!!! Great idea!
greg z you forgot to mention the scottish, without the scots you wouldnt be able to watch eurovision or vote via the telephone, 2 of the most inventions the world has ever seen television and telephones
Great idea to have Nana Mouskouri opening the televoting - much better than the charisma free zone who opened the voting last year. Glad they've got rid of the gong too. It feels like a long wait for this year's eurovision especially with the national finals so early, no doubt Lys is currently preparing for her grand entrance.
@ Garry Chelsea. lol about the street banners
This contest would have been perfect for me if they could have got my favourite big old Demis Roussos to appear! But alas he is busy in the bath on my picture. He would have given Sakis a run for his money he he! Forever and ever!
@Stan Errington
Check to see where Celine Dion is on the list

WOW this is going to be great 
Great combination :-) So which country do you live in at the moment?
Im an aussie of greek descent.
@ Irgend
LOL - Can I ask your country of origin?
Great news (Nana Mouskouri, etc) -- can't wait to be in Athens!
@ stan Errington
You get your facts right!

and have a look in wikipedia as well.
@ Serbia 4 ever
Thanks for your 'kind' words. Most Serbs have an affinity with Greeks and I am sure they would be mortified with your comment. I take comfort in the knowledge that your view represents an extreme MINORITY view. Have a great day!
@ Irgend
Its a shame that you deem it propaganda when someone mentions something to have been invented by a nation thousands of years ago. The Greeks were not the only inventors, and my post clearly mentioned other great past civilisations that have been great inventors. The ancient romans, egyptians, babylonians and chinese have also made great contributions to the world.
I am not sure what your country of origin is, but I am certain that your nation also has invented something that the world is grateful for. I am also certain that you would be proud to let people know of that invention and its origins :-)
Actually Theo (32561) - as much as I like Nana Mouskouri, she is not one of the two biggest selling female artists, as the the other biggest selling female artist in addition to Madonna is Celine Dion, so please get your facts right
well, and i thought what I said was bad...@ serbia 4ever, you need to be banned for life for such disgraceful comments, please ESCTODAY take note...
My comment was to one raised by John Makk, i did not say this, I replied to him.
My original comments were nothing about the Greeks or the show itself, which I cant wait to see as I am sure Athens will not let us down, my comments were about the quality of the songs, which in my opinion are well below standard...
Mr Serbia... I do remind you that your country can't even find a Eurovision Entry...!
Nana Mouskouri is a great artist, but unfortunately she didn't stop at the height of her carreer. A few months ago she was in the Netherlands for some concerts and her voice is not what it used to be (to say it mildly). But it's great to see her in the show.
greeks are very bad i hated all there eurovision preformences and i hope all the greeks die and rot in hell
@ Irgend
Yep everyone has an hourglass these days, but that doesnt make it a modern invention. You can add this to the list of greek contributions to the world.
You would be surprised by the number of things that the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Babylonians and Sumers, just to name a few, invented thousands of years ago :-)
what a privilige to have Nana in eurovision
One of the two highest female selling singers in the world (the other one is Madonna for the ones who don't know) will honour europe and eurovision
i love the gallery of street banners in athens, after seeing pic number 4 we now know what anna vissis part time job is
Good Luck Anna
Greece again for host !!!!
good old nana, shes got the whole world in her hands, can we have demis rusos too please
@ john bear
How could you even ... [i]bear[/i] leaving comments like that?
[b]ESC 2006 ATHENS[/b] ... 37 GREAT participating SONGS
My suggestion to you and many others:
Show some R.E.S.P.E.C.T. to the ESC fans and the people
in EACH participating country [i](incl. Serbia & Montenegro,
that had to withdraw)[/i] for having gone to the EXPENSE
to TELEVOTE for their REPRESENTATIVE song during
EACH of their National Selections, so that we can ALL have the
privilege to enjoy EUROPE'S 51st CELEBRATION with MUSIC and SONGS!!!!
By the way, today (MAY 9th) is ... [b] EUROPE DAY[/b]!
Europe, are YOU ready?
Well, I have said [i]"Everything"[/i] that I wanted to say ...
