The sounds of a random fish in the Aegean would be more interesting than this, this is one of the most paint by numbers cookie cutter songs I have ever heard. I hope the leak isnt the final product

It isn't, this is the demo, they recorded it from scratch with different producers

It isnt bad its just so bland and inoffensive why is anyone going to vote for this? I really wish Greece would go back to having actual greek people with greek sounds rather than just random diaspora people with generic songs

His indie girl kitchen singing voice aside, that song is horrendously generic. It seriously better be just a demo because its tragic in that form.

I agree, doesnt have anything special, but I am just glad it isnt the mess I feared it was going to be from that snippet lol.
Televoters wont go crazy over it but if they have improved it and with a good performance, it can be jury friendly enough for a decent score

Omg, guess what, turns out IT is better than Liar! *sad bop noises*
I think its the best choice ERT could do. Depending on staging and vocals, it can do a top 15.

Klavdia was the right choice imo. Leon of Athens also probably wasn't as generic. But it's decent.

ok on a 2nd listen. this is the best male ballad this year. imo, way better than Cyprus and also Switzerland. so I think he's qualifying but will finish around 20th place in the final.

The last 30 seconds is ok, but I was never a fan of James Arthur, and his Greek brother won't change that

The last 30 seconds is the only part I dont like, seems like its bulding before that and it ends up to those claps with slower tempo, it feels like its ending with a bridge rather than a final chorus, which is anticlimatic. Really hope they changed this, this track needs an explosive final chorus to be somewhat competitive, verses and prechorus are pretty.

The United Kingdom has put Donny Montell first in the televote twice, there should be a statue of him in ever town square

Now there's a petition I can get on board with!

it's a cute song. it will qualify but finish low in the gf I think.

needs good staging tho.

 

[dannytr24]

I like this
from me

 

[gingerale]

It's fine but very one note for the 3 minutes.

 

[mauve]

Okay ... this song is actually unexpectedly good? The song blends uniqueness with mainstream pop! for now! Well done, Greece!

 

[HarryUK]

There's no bridge, no climax, no nothing. Boring!

 

[Mainshow]

Absolutely horrible and terrible.

How has panik records managed to send the same song twice

tbh they should stick to sending songs produced by Alex P. (replay, fuego and ela). That was their golden era.

I dislike this more than 2016 and that’s saying something at least Utopian Land was trying to do something, this is the chicken soup of Eurovision songs yes it’s fine maybe even pleasant but why would I want it given what else is on offer
