Greece: Marietta Fafouti is the first artist ERT plans to approach – Exclusive

/0 Comments/in , , /by

For the very first time, ERT’s team responsible for the Eurovision project had a meeting earlier today, with the first proposed artists wirtten down on the list.

As we have previously mentioned, ERT is planning to choose the artist through internal selection.

The name that is on top of the list is no other than the 38-year-old Marietta Fafouti. Marietta is a well known artist in recent years in Greece and has signed songs for many of her colleagues, advertising campaigns, television and theater.

She has been honored with many music awards, while her song Kookoobadi, with over 1 million views on YouTube, was awarded as the best song for 2012 by Athens Voice.

Marietta’s name was around the Eurovision media since 2016, inasmuch as she was amongst the artists ERT approached before announcing ARGO as the representatives of Greece.

Marietta Fafouti belongs to the music label of Feelgood Records. Even though Marietta is the first artist ERT will approach, there were other artists proposed by the team. Beside the artists, the team proposed a very well-known virtuoso female composer – we will not reveal her name at this stage.

Stay tuned to EurovisionFun for more information about the Greek representative in the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest.

Because of the limited time that exists now, but also for some other reasons, ERT decided to choose its next representative for the Eurovision Song Contest via an internal selection. The selection will be made by the artists, who will be proposed by the committee responsible for the Eurovision project. The first meeting of the committee will take place on Monday 7 January in ERT’s headquarters in Athens. Read more

Both ERT and CyBc proposed Tamta for Eurovision 2019 – Who is the composer of the Cypriot entry?

Αccording to Alpha Cyprus, a local tv channel, both Greece and Cyprus proposed Tamta to represent them at the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv, yet the famous singer has given no reply to both of them.

A point of division between Greece and Cyprus

Both ERT and CyBc want Tamta to represent them at the contest, with the latest being silent at the moment. As the channel states, the following days will be crucial for CyBc to deal with one of the most lovable artists in both countries. Greek and Cypriot eurofans are willing to see Tamta stepping on the Eurovision stage, thus being the second year in a row for Cyprus to be represented by such a big artist.

We shall remind you that Tamta, as herself has stated, was asked to sing Fuego after Helena Paparizou’s rejection and before Eleni Foureira took the crown.

Exclusive – Who will compose the Cypriot entry?

Reading it from our site for the very first time, it is most certainly that Alex Papaconstantinou will be the composer of the Cypriot entry in 2019. This is the third time Alex Papaconstantinou collaborates with CyBc, after composing the Cypriot entry back in 2012 La La Love sang by Ivi Adamou, and in 2018 Fuego sang by Eleni Foureira.

If Tamta will be impressed by the suggested song and agrees to participate, will be known in the following days. The truth is, after two head members of the Greek broadcaster resigned from their positions (read more from our colleagues in escxtra) and the following steps of ERT being unknown, it seems easier for Tamta to choose the Cypriot proposal.

We shall stay calm as nothing is official yet, while the following days might not turn how we would like them.
