Almila:
Have a great time! When I was in Chios I made a trip to Cesme and Izmir, beautiful places
Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary says "shady=dishonest" so I believe in Ani's explanation.
vatroslav,
it's naughty lady. Ani herself has said so in one of her interviews..so, there 
Mina Carnation*
wrong translation: shady lady is "lady from the shade", so it is something kinda "hidden lady"..
Almila

if a person doesnt like a eurovision participant doesn't have to be a world war 3!
i kinda felt sry for her not winning this thing. she really deserved it.
hope to see her again in eurovision
Elvis,
I just don't like coming to a site to talk about Eurovision and reading stuff about b/j's. It doesn't matter who you were talking about, it was your wording I found rude and inappropriate.
And don't you think Willox, its very inmature of you to have a go at people who call Charlotte names, but then go and call Ani equally as awful childish names???
Willox Willox
How would you like it if someone called you a tranny?? Because calling Ani one (which she blatantly is not), just shows your insecurities about that certain subject . . . . . . . . . 
Something you're not telling us??
Dear Mina Carnation:
1) Greece has a population of more than 11 million, surely many of them write in this site... are you following me?
2) So, since you´re not the only Greek in here, why are you so offended?
3) Why do you think I wrote anything targeting you???
4) I apologize if I blew the whistle on your plans, you naughty so.
Yeah, very high class, just like you. You should be banned from this site.
You should be ashamed of yourself for posting something like this.
How old are you? 12?
Pls type the address at youtube page. It´s very high class stuff.
According to his compatriots, he´s a very clever guy. Of course there are no doubts about his sexual options, as one can see in this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnFaKB-zhr8, that´s why a certain person from Greece is learning Russian, so he´ll understand her bj offer, and maybe accept it.
Who are you talking about, Elvis? And for some reason I can't see your video.
Well...I've heard rumours...but since I can't be sure they're true, I won't comment
she is soo fake.. she looks like a tranny..
Best of luck to Ani
I'm not a big fan of "Shady lady" but I think Ani gave a good performance. It seems that my countrymen share my opinion, Sweden didn't give any points to The Ukraine.
marc,
there's been some misunderstanding here. I didn't judge her song or her voice or her performance..she has a good voice, I personally found the song boring but I didn't like the greek song that much either (I'm more of a ballad type) and she did give a good performance.
I find her fake as a person, something about her smile/attitude just screams phony to me. And after I read some of her statements (please, we aren't THAT stupid to believe that she actually told the Ukrainian presenter to urge people to vote for Greece) my opinion of her is that the woman is fake...I repeat, as a person, not as a performer.
And it's not right whenever someone has an opinion to start telling them about their own country's participant.
It's like every time you say something I disagree with, I turn around and tell you 'yeah, well, take a look at your own country's entry first'..how would you like that?
