Why Angels cry? I don't know. But I know why we are crying after the song that they selected to represent us in Eurovision! I mean it was an OK song for people that like that kind of songs but too depressive for me. I preferred the "land of yesterday" that was partly sung in Cypriot dialect, or the "love on the weekend" or at least "congratulations". "Every time I close my eyes" was I believe the best from the slow songs. What was strange was the voting. Each district voted in the way that countries vote in the real Eurovision and the votes were TOTALY inconsistent. Some songs received 1 point from some districts and 12 from others Something very fishy was happening

Anyone knows what song is Anna Vissi representing Greece with?
When is the Eurovision by the way?

Why the hell is she representing greece?
Is she too ashamed to represent cyprus?

She lived most of her life in Greece.

I have no idea why, but seing who got to represent Cyprus, I guess I can understand why.

Besides, Greece chose her already without going through the voting.

I thing we will all cry collectively.
It just a boring song with no musical depth
Why on earth did people vote for it?
I am mystified

[dms007]

[Greek goddess]

Well I can only say that you have taste
