Greece 2023: Victor Vernicos - What They Say (1 Viewer)

[Marina Salty]

I guess ERT saw no point in delaying it further after the full leak

 

[Marina Salty]

It's on now https://www.ertflix.gr/en/epg/now-on-tv
on ert1

 

[Marina Salty]

Well better than Melissa's but it looks and sounds very str8.

 

[D5K]

"Assholes make sure no-one loses their way"?

 

[Lucille]

The diction is ATROCIOUS!

 

[Lucille]

Not a clue what he’s saying!

 

[Lucille]

It’s highly competent but doesn’t do much for me? Can see it easily qualifying but not making much impact in the final.

 

[Marina Salty]

"Assholes make sure no-one loses their way"?

Lost souls

 

[VoR]

Surely this is going absolutely nowhere? Utterly dull and he's a nepo baby with no performance experience.

 

[Dark Carnival]

 

[Dark Carnival]

Listening to this again, WHAT LANGUAGE IS HE FUCKING SINGING?

 

[Marina Salty]

Listening to this again, WHAT LANGUAGE IS HE FUCKING SINGING?

Klingon

 

[Zu]

Not very inspiring, is it? Can we get back to something which SOUNDS GREEK PLEASE!

 

[Penelope]

It sounds like a UK chart hit (derogatory)

 

[Zu]

Something like THIS please, even though the staging ruined it

Although I’m here for the bananas, pineapples and plump bouncing bazookas so let’s not rule THOSE out for 2024

 

[Penelope]

Poor Dimitris. Had to strap on the thigh-highs and start selling himself by the docks after he lost the house on that one

 

[Marina Salty]

Something like THIS please

 

[GNL]

Horrible. HORRIBLE.

 

[Bypass]

Well better than Melissa's but it looks and sounds very str8.

 

[Marina Salty]

Monika released two of her 3 rejected songs.

This is one made it to the final 7.


This one didn't.

 

[Soldi]

Release LIAR!

 

[Soldi]

Oh wait that’s MELISSA

 

[Marina Salty]

I didn't expect to be saying this but I actually find myself liking both of her songs, I still would send neither in Liverpool though.

 

[Marina Salty]

Since we don't have Leon's song yet, here's some Voyage Voyage with Demy.

 

[Marina Salty]

Evangelia dropped Pali

 

[VoR]

This hideous dirge is my #36 of the year. Yes, even worse than Romania.

I do fear he might do a Frans though.

 

[Marina Salty]

His only chances are with straight people and me

Btw Melissa posted that she won't be releasing Liar and kind of ruled out any future attempt at Eurovision in general.

 

[OutSynk]

Evangelia dropped Pali

Omg this is hot

 

[OutSynk]

Finally something as good as Fotia. Maybe EVEN BETTER.

 

[Marina Salty]

Another reject of ERT's Final 7.



This kind of echoes Die Diepte in the Oh OHhhhh bit.

 

[Marina Salty]

Victor was asked to give his own rating for the songs, which was

12 Portugal
10 Armenia
8 Finland
7 Sweden
6 Switzerland
5 Australia
4 Belgium
3 Estonia
2 Cyprus
1 Austria

which of course added some fuel to the beef with Cyprus.
In response, Andrew was asked to give a rating to the songs too, but he said his job is to sing not to give ratings.

 

[GNL]

Cyprus:

 

[Marina Salty]

And this is Evangelia's take on Tattoo in greeklish.
As usual, Evangelia tries to make a literal word by word translation of the song (which never works) and given that her mastery of the language is comparable to that of a 5-year-old the result is quite funny/childish.

 

[Kratz]

Pali would have been such a good entry. Silly Greece.

 

[Marina Salty]

Another one of ERT's rejects

 

[Marina Salty]

And another one

 

[Marina Salty]

Spanglish version of Pali

 

[Kratz]

Evangelia dropped Pali

This has almost has many Spotify streams as ‘What They Say’. Well done Greece. What could have been (at least qualification).

 

[Pingu]

So in a lovely epilogue to this messy tale, Melissa's song has been snapped up by Cyprus for their entry this year.

SEND THEM to snap up the Kpop fan votes
