GREECE 🇬🇷
In 1980, Vissi participated in the 25th Eurovision Song Contest representing Greece with the song Autostop (“Hitch-Hike”), finishing 13th with 30 points. In the same year she released her third album Nai (“Yes”) reaching gold status with 50,000 units sold. The album produced the hits Oso Eho Foni (“As long as I have my voice”) and Methysmeni Politeia (“Drunken state”). One year later her fourth, self-titled album Anna Vissi was released, reaching gold status. In 1982, she represented her native Cyprus at the 27th Eurovision Song Contest with the song she composed herself, Mono I Agapi (“Only love”), which ended fifth with 85 points scoring Cyprus its second highest position to date. The songs were not released on any album or CD single until 2006, when both were released on CD single in time for Vissi’s third Eurovision appearance. The English version of “Mono I Agapi”, however, was released as a 7-inch single in 1982, titled “Love Is A Lonely Weekend”. Its b-side I’m Gonna Be A Fool for You remains unreleased on CD. Greek national broadcaster ERT chose Vissi to represent Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006. There were four candidate songs, which she sang during a song selection show on 14 March 2006 at “Votanikos” club. Greek viewers used televote and SMS messages along with a panel of judges to choose the song Vissi would sing in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006. Two of the competing songs, were composed by Nikos Karvelas, namely “Everything” and “Who Cares about Love”, with Vissi herself penning the lyrics to “Everything”. The third song, “A Beautiful Night”, was written by composing group Pigassos, while the last song, “Welcome to the Party”, was written by Greek composer Dimitris Kontopoulos. “Everything” was selected as the entry song of Greece, winning 47.79% of the votes.

Her previous record label, Minos EMI, released a CD single of her two prior Eurovision entries “Autostop” and “Mono I Agapi”, shortly after.

CYPRUS 🇨🇾 Besides the Orthodox Christian Communities reaction against the 2021 Eurovision entry of Cyprus, today 1981 and 1987 Eurovision entrant Alexia Vassiliou spoke against the national broadcaster and Elena Tsagrinou. In a live session accompanied by a post, Alexia condemns CyBC for choosing a non-Cypriot to represent the island of Aphrodite in Eurovision 2021, wondering why so many Cypriots talents are excluded from the procedure. 4 0

CYPRUS 🇨🇾 CYPRUS - RIK has been receiving threats over the phone for the last few hours. Unknown people threaten to set fire and burn the building of the State Channel, thus mobilizing the Police. The motivation of the unknown seems to be the choice of the song which will represent Cyprus in this year's Eurovision. What bothers them seems to be the title of the song "EL DIABLO" which means devil. In fact, a page has been created on social media that collects signatures so that this song does not represent us in the international music competition this year. Yesterday, a petition was launched for CyBC to withdraw the song from the contest. At the time of writing it has 2,400 signatures. 4 0
