Eleni Tsaligopoulou for Greece in ISC 33

Many great songs reached for victory but in the end Eleni Tsaligopoulou took the trophee home and will be the Greek hopefull in the semi's of ISC 33. The margin between runner up and the song ranked 8th was only 9 points. The greek song "Ego s'agapisa edo elia" by Eleni will be performed with runnerupgroup MIKRO on musical backing. Elisavet and Despina (equal 3rd) will try again in teh NF for ISC 34.

Journalists questioned Mando whether it had cost her the victory by entering with two songs in the arena. Mando showed what a good winner she is and said "The runnerup had two songs in competition as well, and they won. I'll try next time entering just one song and we'll let the future speak it's verdict!" and smiled graciously.

Despina Olympiou took part with two songs as well and neither did she show regrets. "Both my songs were very different to eachother. Besides I really loved the song by MIKRO, so maybe they can write me a winning composition one day" MIKRO was very delighted with the result. "After many trials we finally made it, 2nd place and winning -together with Eleni. What an amazing singer she is!"



Speechless but tears told the story
Eleni was speechless and just smiled at the camera's en proposed to let her just do the singing. She simply dedicated her song to her flatcoat retriever 'Anixi' who passed away last winter. She sung her winning song and received the applause from the audience with tears running down her cheeks. But in the end everybody agreed on this song being the ISC 33 entry for Greece.
