Greece – Unlike their Economy shows promise

Yes Greece has taken to the stage for their first rehearsal. Eleftheria Eleftheriou singing her song “Aphrodisiac”.

Greek Eurovision Song – The song though is instant in its appeal and you can’t help but sing along with the song.As I always say a good song sung not so good – will be forgiven more easily.

Greek Eurovision contestants – Well Eleftheria has some work to do in regards her vocals but that is what rehearsals are for. At times it was pitchy but in her defense she sang with gusto that would be fitting of the “Land Of Fire” where we are now.

The Band : What was interesting to see was that the backing singer was carrying more of the main vocals than you would expect.

Staging / Performance / Routine – Well the Baku stage is amazing and BIG and a lot of countries are going to find it difficult to fill the stage and make their presence felt.
Eleftheria and her dancers tend to stay in the centre of the stage and for us in the audience makes you feel somewhat cheated as you really want a rousing performance/routine to match the potential of the song
The stage backdrop is glittering with varying blue and pink shapes and swirls.
What Greece have failed to do is when the climax of the song takes place they don’t replicate that with the visual effects thus not giving the song its full potential.

Eurovision 2012 Prediction

Overall Performance – This song has great potential if the vocals are rehearsed more and if the wide camera angles are removed from the shots as they make the song feel lost.

Final Analysis – Tip for the Eurovision finals:

This song will easily qualify for the final. Not a winner but a good bet for a Top 10 position. I will upload the video of the performance when available
