MadWalk 2018 presenters in the opening act

Eurovision 2018 here we come!

Three entrants of this year’s Eurovision edition honored the show with their presence. These were Greece’s Yianna Terzi, Cyprus’ Eleni Foureira and Azerbaijan’s Aisel. But let’s check out their performances one by one…

Greece

Totally white-dressed and in blue background, Yianna Terzi made a special performance of her Eurovision entry Oniro mou. Could this be an indication of what we’re going to witness in Lisbon?

Cyprus

Eleni Foureira, who will be representing Cyprus this year with the song Fuego, couldn’t be absent. However, the artist opted for performing her own version of the timeless Dalida’s gold hit Gigi in paradisco, which is expected to be officially released in the following weeks.

Τhe creator of her garment was Vrettos Vrettakos, who is also rumored to design the dress with which she will take the stage of Altice Arena.

Azerbaijan

The country’s 2018 entry is characterized by Greek elements, as the composer of Aisel’s song X my heart is Dimitris Kontopoulos and Fokas Evagelinos will be taking over her Eurovision staging in May.

As part of her promo tour, the Azeri competitor was there in Athens too, and interpreted her track playing a piano which had been specially designed for the show’s needs.

Till next time in Lisbon, girls!

What about the past participants?

Apart from the 2018 contenders, MadWalk 2018 project saw some former Eurovision participants, with a remarkable course in the Greek music industry.

Sakis Rouvas

The thrice-involved in Eurovision, pop star Sakis Rouvas appeared on the show, with a special remix of his latest single Ego sta elega. Sakis represented Greece in both 2004 and 2009 occassions and hosted Eurovision 2006 in Athens, joined by Maria Menounos.

Demy
