Greece: More national final guests

The Greek national final will take place on February 28 between Sarbel, Tamta and Christos Dantis. While the artists are working feverishly to perfect their acts and the public opinion is divided without a clear favorite emerging yet, ERT- the Greek broadcaster- is filling in the list of guest stars that will grace the stage of the Athinon Arena.

Apart from the Swiss representative DJ BoBo and the Cypriot representative Evridiki, it has just been revealed that Mihai Traistariu will be present as well. Mihai, who represented Romania in last year's Eurovision Song Contest, is very popular in Greece with Tornero being a huge summer hit. Mihai will perform three songs, among them Tornero and Dimmi si o no.

The guest list will be completed by the winner of the Bulgarian final which will be held on February 24th. Greece seems to appreciate the fact that neighbouring Bulgaria has given them their 12 points twice – in 2006 and 2005 when they participated for the first time.

Stay tuned as we bring you more news on the Greek final.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain.

I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
