What Greece 2023 has to do with Fokas?
I 100%% agree, i just want him to not be involved in any staging for our entries again. It's over, it's not the 2000s anymore, there are so many better options and i'm honestly surprised that Marina agreed to this. Unless they snuck it up on her and couldn't say no.I'm not positive about the single-shot idea purely because of Focas. Novelty and dated effects over elegance and effectiveness.
I wouldn't be against this if it was coming from a competent, modern stage director, but with Focas it will probably be a purely executed gimmick.
Being negative only because I'm tired of Foca's dated uninspired stagings for the past 20 years. His style was perfect for the y2k, but since then he has delivered stagings such as Greece 2017, Azerbaijan, 2018, Spain 2019, Greece 2021, Moldova 2021, Greece 2023 (and low-key the staging for Greece 2022 was atrocious as well, the camera angles were not what they should have been for the chair effect to work)... The fact that he is being hired every single year by Greece only indicates how impartial and corrupt the broadcaster is.
Not to mention his consistent, shady associations with Kirkorov, Russia, and Azerbaijan.
Unless Greece moves on to new and modern stage directors, we will not win Eurovision.
And I'm being upset because this could be the year and he's capable to ruin it all with his gimmicks.
Im relieved Fokas is with her, hes got tons of Esc experience, something that an artist with innovative talent like Marina needs.
We have tried with " fresh " directors too and we became ρεντίκολο ( 2018 - the infamous blue hand of Yianna and 2019 - the nightmarish Worse love performance ). Not to talk at all about what Rigos presented last year. Naurr, she made the right call. At least Fokas never brought us a non qualification, we stan a talented grandpa
For me Greece this year is what one could compare to the insides of a garbage truck. Filled with condensed trash.
Maybe not original but true to Greece. Exactly what people expect from Greece.OursTVP's is bland and repetitive. Greece presents something original and Greek.
Ahahaha thanks for the correction, you're so right.Maybe not original but true to Greece. Exactly what people expect from Greece.
Marina goes with sth she just wants to showcase and it's no sterile AI generated Eurovision song with filtered vocals
Never said ours is not bland.Ours is bland and repetitive.
Okay, I just acted instinctively then, defending Greece.Never said ours is not bland.
Excuse me, but in my humble opinion even the Police and Marina are helpless in the case of Greek drivers. I know what I am talking about.Dead! The official twitter account of the Hellenic Police is using Marina's meme from the opening of "ZARI" MV to advocate drivers not to use the road shoulder without a serious reason.
Excuse me, but in my humble opinion even the Police and Marina are helpless in the case of Greek drivers. I know what I am talking about.
I experienced a culture shock when I saw drivers actually stopping before crosswalks when I travelled to France. The problem is that I got used to it when I got back home and I expected Greek drivers to do the same. After a week, I was back used to the Greek way of doing things.Excuse me, but in my humble opinion even the Police and Marina are helpless in the case of Greek drivers. I know what I am talking about.
