Now, I’ve been one of the country’s biggest cheerleaders at past contests. Mainly because of this man:
There can never be enough Sakis, I think you’ll agree.
But this year I’m jumping ship, and it’s not just because of the startling lack of Sakis or Sakis lookalikes.
I know it’s deserting them in their hour of need, but I don’t care.
There is never an excuse for a film clip like this:
Look Greece, I know you’re broke, but did you really need to film your video IN A SHOPPING CENTRE?
Did you think the escalator in the background added a certain je ne sais quoi?
Or was it just because you could rope in the blokes working in the centre’s café as backing dancers?
So tacky.
Much like Eleftheria Eleftheriou’s dance moves, which are tending towards the gynaecological for a while there.
Aphrodisiac is an OK song, but I have the nagging feeling they’ve just mashed-up every other Greek entry from previous years in an effort to save some cash.
Eurovision: another victim of the Greek economy.
RIP.
