I take a bow to you Greece, or whoever decided it's time to have again a Greek song in Greek. Oneiro mou follows the footsteps of the fabulous Greek entries of the 1990s. They maybe didn't succeed in the contest as well as the plastic Europop they started sending afterwards but they had dignity those years.
Gianna Terzi (38) is a daughter of Greek pop singer Paschalis Terzis, has released two albums, one E and a couple of singles.
Now, despite all the drama and scandals, Greece is back on track and hearing the other two songs ment to be, this is clearly the best one. So, what actually happened?
Long story short: originally there were five songs. Two were disqualified as they were a bit too close to selection committee, or not enough Greek or something. Now, a week before the scheduled national final with three songs the other two failed to pay the 20.000 euros asked by ERT as quarantee, and thus were disqualified. Whether it all was piloted and ment to be by powers unknown to us, the result is Greece has an entry they can be proud of: a song that is traditional and modern at the same time, one identifies it instantly Greek, it is sung in Greek. I take a bow. Σας ευχαριστούμε!
