Greece – or is it Grease?

Sarbel

Nick: So, this Maria … would she by any chance be into superstition, black cats and voodoo dolls? Greece is the new itself, by the sounds of it – apparently trying to milk “Shake” for all it’s worth (do you see what I did there?). It’s very good, but it’s the most obviously derivative of *something specific* out of anything I’ve heard so far. If Turkey qualifies (as it maybe will), then this and that will badly get under each other’s feet when it comes to choosing which one to wait for. I can’t really argue with the song or the performance, and it’s a style of song that hasn’t failed… yet.

Phil: Oh dear, it is a huge portion of “let’s see what we can do with the formula” going on. It’s a cross between this year’s Turkish song and a Ricky Martin-esque creation. Yes, he moves well but this was a shock when it won the Greek national final, and it remains a shock to the system here. It’s an old-fashioned slice of Eurovision dropped into a new style world. Twelve Cypriot points, and that should be it.

Roy: I have a little dreamy hope for this one. That Turkey get through and are drawn right in front of it, and that Belarus do the same behind it. The poor fella then will appear so insignificant that even Cyprus may forget to vote for it. But in reality I can’t see it getting more than, ooh, 13 or 14 points …
