Eurovision Song Contest from Belgrade - Evrovizija

Greece - Our favorite and The Winner

05/13/2008

Go to Greece. We would like say to all. Kalomira is the best performance of the day. More better then Bilan. Song is very excellent. Kalomira is very nice girl. She have very excellent choreography and vocal. We think that Greece will be the Winner of Eurovision.

We have a huge book on stage as a prop which will probably give a headache to the stage manager as it needs to be brought onstage in 35 seconds!

First the bad news, Kalomira's sound check run through was absolutely appalling!  Very out of tune.

Now the good news, her voice has improved with each performance of the song since then.

She has 3 backing dancers and 2 backing singers.  At the song starts , she is sitting on a silver pole being held by 2 of the dancers.  Half way through the song , ( just before the 'an open book' lyric), the book is opened to show a huge purple heart. The backdrop is very colourful and includes while silhouette dancing figures. At the end of the song, She is lifted up by the dancers.

And she has a wind machine :)

Overall, a very good rehearsal for Greece.  I was worried about the live vocal but, ignoring the initial sound check, the vocal was fine.  A very likely qualifier for the final.
