Mihalis Hadzigiannis has released a new video, Πλάι Πλάι , that seems custom made for this blog in its light blue imaginary. Very beautifully shot video indeed and the song's good, too. Once again great stuff from him!
Time to check out once again some more or less new songs and videos by Eurovision artists that you can also listen on EFR12 here. First of all return of Kate Ryan with Broken off her worthcoming album. She was once again rumoured to be the one for Belgium in Baku 2012 but no, she isn't it. Maybe one day? Igor Cukrov has released Fali mi , yet another great track from one of this blogger's favourite voices. Bulgarian creature Aziz has released St. Tropez in his true style. Last but not least Mixalis Hatzigiannis has released a video for his latest Tharos i alitheia and continues his success stroy with great songs.
No doubt Mixalis Hatzigiannis is a superstar in Greece and his native Cyprus. His career took off from Eurovision 1998 with Genesi when he was just 19 ( in 1995 he wasn't that lucky yet) but these days he doesn't seem that keen on Eurovision. Oikotimes writes he has said "no thanks" three times to Greece and twice to Cyprus. At least. In 2007 he may have originally said "yes" to come to Helsinki 2007 as a composer but demanded George Michael to sing the song!? Now that would have been something! Then again 2010 ERT was after him but money came in between those plans. The year after, in 2011 he apparently just said "No". But in 2010 and 2011 also CyBC was after him but once again it all fell flat because of money. Or so the story goes.... I would love to see him back in Eurovision if he ever has a change of heart as he has matured a fantastic songwriter and performer. And he has once again a new single/video out, Tharros h alitheia .
Mixalis Hatzigiannis releases a new album and here's the latest video S'Agapo . This marks his return to local market after adventures in Germany and Europe with the release of album Mihalis and Everyone dance . This blogger easily understand his popularity in Greece as he manages to sound good always, whether it's a ballad or an uptempo. Great artist! And this puts me in summer mood in a sec!
The summer's over at least in Finland but previous Eurovision stars keep the summer alive with their songs. Bulgarian Krassimir Avramov gets the make over by Deep Zone in Ria while Michalis Hadzigiannis turns up the beat and change the lyrics into English in Everybody dance . Here's the original . I just have to repost also To kalokairi mou simply because it is so fantastic and summery!
