very sweet man you are my friend and ownest.greetings from greece!

..."ownest"...?! ...να 'βαζες κι ένα "l" τουλάχιστον, να 'βγαζε και κάποιο νόημα μπρε καρτνάσημ'...

[@andreasmitropoulos]

I enjoyed your reaction. I consider it very authentic. It is also very interesting to watch your reaction on songs that either were instantly catchy or had very nice vocals. I think you were spot on most of the times !

[@Theodoros.K.Mouchtaris]

Maria Elena Kyriakou, the one you liked so much, is a Greek Cypriot singer. She won the first "the Voice of Greece" in 2014. She was sent in Eurovision in 2015. Afterwards is close to nobody ever heard of her since! So it's surprising to pick her up. I don't say thay she didn't perform well though, bur it is still very surprising, for all of us Greeks, for you to say that.

[@believebelieve182]

The beautiful girl from ANTIQUE (2001) is the GODDESS OF POP in Greece Helena Paparizou who won in 2005! Very famous in Scandinavia too with many sales in albums as Antique and as Helena Paparizou too.

[@gorgophontes]

The instrument you were wondering about around the 50 second mark was a bouzouki, a Greek lute.

[@Theodoros.K.Mouchtaris]

No it wasn't Bouzouki. It was "Laouto". Comes from "La Oud". "Oud" is an older instrument with has a fretless fingerboard, like a violin. "Laouto" has a fretted fingerboard. They are both Traditional instruments.

[@dimitrisdimitriadis4623]

Good evening from Grece!!❤

[@ΑΝΑΣΤΑΣΊΑΜΟΙΡΑ]

I really enjoyed it Thank you for seeing how someone outside Greece or even being Greek understand music.Next you must do traditional music from different parts of Greece.!Like Crete Cyclades and elsewhere!Thanks again you look very handsome by the way!

In Eurovision you have a bit of everything, that's what makes it such an unique show. Every year you find great vocalists, not so great vocalists, amazing performances, joke entries, songs that will make you cry, songs that will make you dance, songs that will make you laugh, songs that will make you go like 'wtf am I watching?' all in one show. Eurovision is all about what the performances as a whole made you feel, of course that if the vocals are completely off it's not gonna be nice but it's not necessary to have the best voice in the world to make a whole continent vote for you. This year was actually a great example, Finland won the televote and the vocals were nothing special compared to Estonia's or Italy's entries, for example. I would love to see more Eurovision reactions for sure, just keep in mind that most of those artists won't sound like those amazing singers you're used to react!

[@cttwii]

I literally watched this to see your reaction to One Last Breath. I loved her and that song that year

[@NastiCreature]

Most greeks hated that song and we never really liked the singer. 😂 Gossip time: She was the winner of a music show that hosted the channel her uncle owned... Scandal!

[@washcloud]

Poor you, should've at least been warned for that "S.A.G.A.P.O." piece from 2002 while waiting (good thing you managed to take one last breath before the vid skipped to the next one😁)

Great choice. After this video you should definitely react to the full live version of Anna Vissi's "Everything" performance. She is such a powerhouse!!!

[@22poopoo]

Personally I'd love him to react to her early work like kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3jVZGBoo8ihgas or live TV appearances from 1973

She had a bad day though, later had a surgery to her vocal chords I believe.

Well, I am Greek and it's not hard to say that the best song we ever had in Eurovision, was BY FAR Alcohol is free by Agathonas and Koza Mostra, 13:47.

​@CTSimpWeird to hear this, as Greece is one of the most popular lgbtq holiday destinations in the world. I've worked In tourism for over 15 years and I've never had a gay person complain to me about anything. I, myself own a gay themed gift Etsy shop now, and I'm not even gay!

[@domenicmaselli]

Eurovision is not a singing contest so I understand if you don't like the vocalists that much. It is a song contest and is primarily about musical compisition and stage performance but vocals do play a factor as well.

[@washcloud]

...and our vocalists' factory''s been decades now that's gone to hell....

[@sallycoop935]

0:41 Mariza Koch. Unbelievable brave lady. She was threatened by the turks that she would be shot if she dared to sing that song. But she didn’t care as you can see. The entry of 1976 was 2 years after the turkish invasion in Cyprus. Mariza’s song is about that. Like a protest and a lamentation. The lyrics describes the before and the after the invasion. Turkish television didn’t show Mariza’s song. They showed a nationalistic Turkish song instead. Cyprus is still occupied.

[@itshelena.]

Im glad Eleftheria Eleftheriou get the appreciation she deserves from the international fans. 💜

[@GorditoVii]

The first song that tou heard (Panagia mou - Panagia mou from Mariza Koch) was a song against the turkish invasion in Cyprus in 1974. Also there were threats against the Greek singer from turkish that is gonna sing her song, she would be shot by a sniper. That song was our best participation by far. And that was a great song too.

[@simplyme8593]

I would really appreciate your reaction to the full performance of the song at minute 6:03 ✌ "I anixi" (The spring) by Anna Vossou Άνοιξη, Άννα Βόσσου

You really said that Amanda's vocals weren't there? 😳 Wasn't expecting that at all. One of my favourite performances, and I don't mean only the greek ones. Actually, many of them deserved better commentary, maybe that's because we know them better, while you don't, so I give you this. Anyway, nice video overall.

You have to really listen 1991, 2002, 2011 and 2018 voices and passion they were amazing. Actually Marinela, Koch, Elpida and many others are amazing singers but their genre will be absolutely strange for you to listen.

[@MandiaM27]

Most of the singers we have sent are great vocally and some of them are on top of their genre and the industry as a whole. A couple of them are praised worldwide. Some of them are complete unknowns that nobody knows how they ended up representing us (very shady business behind the scenes, especially the 2023 entry). Some of the more talented people could have placed better or even won if they had better songs. Some of our 3rd placements were the clear winners of their years but they were robbed due to political manipulations and strategic voting. Our stagings are consistently (with some notable exceptions) epic to the degree that we lend our directors and choreographers to other countries for Eurovision, with epic results as well and top placements too. when we are good we are really good.

[@vassiamag]

Yes, but when weate bad...we are better😂

[@RedyyChuu]

This was a weird choice. Eurovision is def not for everybody and it's certainly not about the vocals most of the time. With that said there are definitely some killer vocalists on there and I hope you're recommended the good ones. Don't write off Eurovision just yet!

[@e.p.3569]

"Moiazoume" is the most underrated song and Takis Mpiniaris is the most underrated singer of Eurovision contest. Great voice and song, I' m still wondering why it didn't go well... Also "To diko sou asteri" and " Olou tou kosmou i elpida" : Great voices and arrangements...

[@Theodoros.K.Mouchtaris]

The singer with the greatest voice, who took part in Eurovision representing Greece, was Marinella. The first one in 1974. The song didn't help her vocal abilities to be shown. You have reacted to her. I don't remember whether this was previously or not. I guess the first. Other great voices and highly accomplished singers were: Anna Vissi, Mariza Koch, Sophia Vossou, Kaiti Garbi, Helena Paparizou and Sakis Rouvas. Probably in that order too. I forgot to mention Elpida and maybe Tania Tsanaklidou as well. And also one could propose Pascalis and Yianna Terzi. Yiannis Dimitras also had a huge voice and at the same time a very sentimental one. But he is not well known in Greece. He collaborated with Manos Hatzidakis in an album. Hatzidakis is arguably the most important composer in Greece. The composer of the song of the film "Never on Sunday". Hatzidakis won an Oscar for that song in 1961. He didn't show to receive his trophy, and later renounced it ! He is, at least, one of the three more important composers. The others being Mikis Theodorakis (Zorba composer) and Vasilis Tsitsanis. Here is Hatzidakis not showing to receive his Oscar trophy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqOyp5Sqo5yroqMsi=2zxObRSSEgczOut_

[@Theodoros.K.Mouchtaris]

The greatest, vocally, song ever sent in Eurovision was "Anixi" (Meaning Spring, as in the Season). It was sung by Sophia Vossou. The Saxophone player was TERRIBLE though. The original Saxophone player got sick and stayed in Greece. They found one in Italy to replace him, but he didn't manage to do it. I don't remember why now. Finally there was THIS Saxophone player who seems doesn't know ANYTHING. The performance in Eurovision was the following: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6uaknVjjq2pY6csi=x4z_E0hb-UFQK1ZT
