Rumours are swirling in Greece that the national selection Eurosong 2015 – a MAD show will take place in early March, just before the deadline set by the EBU for the countries to select their representatives. This means that the country that invented souvlaki and marbles without arms (as Pilou would say) will be one of the last to decide. And while we will have to wait to know which act will sing at ESC, we may already know the five acts who will be competing at home. Eurovision insider and Greek journalist Katerina Soulioti tells Greece’s Star Channel that Tamta, Shaya, Dionisis Schinas, C:real, and Thomai Apergi will battle for the win. Let’s get to know them — just in case she’s right!
TAMTA
She took part at the Greek NF in 2007 with the song “With Love” but didn’t manage to win. She’s very popular in Greece, especially for her modern outfits. A native of Georgia, she’s a coach on the Georgian edition of X Factor so could count on 12 points from Tbilisi.
SHAYA
She is young, fresh and popular. In 2011 Shaya was shortlisted along with Mark F. Angelo as Best European Act at the MTV Music Awards, after winning the title of best Greek act with “Far From Anything”. If she goes to Vienna, Greece will enjoy 12 points from Denmark, as she was born there.
DIONISIS SCHINAS
A great Greek singer, he took part in the Greek NF in 1998 but failed to win. Dionisis made a successful comeback last summer with the hit “Omorfaineis Ti Zoi Mou”.
C:REAL
They are a Greek band with many singles and albums to their name. The band follows pop and rock music, and co-operated with Oceana for “Sleepness Nights”.
THOMAI APERGI
She is a stunning singer who came to fame in 2013, when she took part in the Greek NF with “One Last Kiss”, a jazzy song. She also participated on the Greek edition of Your Face Sounds Familiar.
The participants list is subject to change, obvs.
sorry I didn’t want this – “?” 😀
TAMTA ?
I love C: real and Tamta – I hate Thomai
tamta best tamta tamta tamta
KOSTAS MARTAKIS MUST TO SEND DIRCTLY
1) C:real – Oti Aksizei. If they sent something like that I’d be so happy! 2) Tamta is a good shot though for us in reality. She would appeal to Eurovision very well. Obv the extra points from Georgia would be nice but its her talent that will make those deserved points. I hope her song is good too. 3) Thomai – I liked her 2013 song but I worry if we pick her Europe will criticize us for “picking another pretty face” type singer. 4) Shaya – dont know her so cant judge 5) Sxinas….Noooo Agree with earlier comment,… Read more »
That’s how Greeks do it.
But where the hell is Vegas…?? I had read yesterday in a newspaper that they were about to compeat in our Greek NF…Really pity that i don’t see their name in this bunch because i was supporting them 4 the victory…
From these acts i prefer either Shaya or CReal…
Not Tamta as i don’t like her…Neither Thomai that she turns me off too..
About Dionysi…That is really weird! This singer have been lost 4 ages now and now he wants to go to EuroVision out of the blue..??? Just NO..
Strong artists! Greece is coming for that top 5 spot again!
TAMTA
I’ve wanted Tamta to represent Greece for awhile now, so I’m excited for that.
But seriously all of them are pretty good (except Schinas; what’s he doing there?). I am so excited!
oikotimes revealed the names far before star channel, weird you ignored that
