Michalis Rakintzis has refused to take defeat at this year's competition lying down and threatened to open legal proceedings against the production company that staged the event. The BBC wrote that.

“I came close to throwing down my microphone and walking off the stage”, Michaelis told on a press conference last Thursday.

“The song that was heard in Tallinn was not the song I set out to sing”, he complained. Greece ended up 17th and can not participate next year due to the bad result.
