Moldova: Dream Team’s response to accusations about the result of televoting!

/0 Comments/in , /by

In response to the Aftonbladet article, which was republished on various websites, Dream Team responded. Dream Team’s spokesman referred to all the allegations in the article, such as manipulating the outcome of televoting in small countries so that Natalia Gordienko could get as many votes as possible and avoid a bad outcome, as betting companies had predicted.

We have proved our love for this competition for many years. Why would we suddenly start handling telephone lines only in the semifinals and not in the finals? These categories are outrageous. In Portugal, for example, there is a large diaspora from Moldova. Greece usually supports our entries.

By no means are countries like France or the Czech Republic small enough to influence televoting. Natalia Gordienko’s song became a hit in Russia and was played on Russian radio channels throughout Europe.

We should not be surprised if the Russian Diaspora, for example, in Latvia and Estonia voted for it in the semifinals when there was no Russian artist to vote for.

We remind you that Natalia Gordienko’s Sugar took 13th place in the grand final, but took 12th place in the televoting, adding another entry to those of Dream Team, which go better in the public vote than the juries.

Greece: Last Dance in the global charts of Spotify!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Stefania with Last Dance managed to bring Greece to the 10th place in the Grand Final of Eurovision, winning the 10th place both in the voting of the juries and in the audience!

This great success of Last Dance, composed by Dimitris Kontopoulos, Arcade and Sharon Vaughn was captured commercially with its entry in the official Top 50 and Viral 50 lists of Spotify in many European countries, even entering the World Viral 50. Last Dance has already exceeded 2,800,000 streams!

Detailed today 24/5 is in the following charts:

Top 50

Cyprus (13)
Iceland (15)
Finland (18)
Netherlands (23)
Greece (25)
Lithuania (27)
Estonia (30)
Sweden (31)
Belgium (39)

Viral 50

Worldwide (40)Greece (10)
Cyprus (13)
Iceland (21)
Finland (22)
United Kingdom (30)
Denmark (31)
Sweden (33)
Norway (34)
Switzerland (35)
Israel (38)
Spain (40)
Ireland (40)
Belgium (42)
Germany (42)
Estonia (43)
Netherlands (44)
Czech Republic (47)
Russia (48)
Latvia (50)

Viral 50 playlists differ from the Top 50 playlists in that they take into account not only which songs are being listened to the most, but also other factors, such as sudden mass streams and sudden mass notifications on major social media, collecting relevant data.

These statistics prove in practice that Last Dance, with its modern European sound, had an impact and even managed to extract points from countries of the North and the West, which rarely vote for Greece in Eurovision.

We wish Last Dance, but also Stefania to continue their successful course in Greece and Europe!

Helena Paparizou: “Cyprus made me a proposal for Eurovision 2021”!

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the show Tet A Tet that is currently broadcast on Alpha Cyprus and presented by Tassos Tryfonos, the only winner of the Eurovision song contest for Greece, Helena Paparizou, made a very important revelation. According to her, RIK proposed to her to represent Cyprus in the contest this year as well, but she considered that it was not her time this time either.

Helena Paparizou made this revelation a few minutes ago, on the air of the show Tet A Tet, on Alpha Cyprus. The popular singer revealed to Tassos Tryfonos when asked about the Eurovision contest and if she would ever think of returning, that RIK honored her this year as well, proposing her to represent Cyprus in Eurovision 2021, which will be held in a few days at Rotterdam!

The popular Greek artist clarified that the proposal she accepted was not about El Diablo, but another song. After a mature thought, Helena responded negatively to RIK, considering that this year was not her time either.

We remind you that in 2018, RIK had initially addressed Helena Paparizou, in order to interpret Fuego in the competition. Although she entered the process to record it, she finally refused, we would say shortly before the agreement was finalized. The song, after a short stop in Tamta, finally ended up with Eleni Foureira, with the triumphant ending that we all know.

Helena Paparizou never stopped being interested in the contest, as she stated. She would represent either Greece, Cyprus or Sweden and any decision she made would always have to do with the song.

Helena Paparizou spoke with the warmest words about both Elena Tsagrinou and Stefania, predicting that both will have a very good result.

Update:

Although Helena Paparizou did not mention it in her interview, the song that was suggested to her by RIK was Colors that competed in the Croatian national final with Bernarda.

Would you like to see Elena return to the competition? If yes with which country?
