Will we see Eleni Foureira in Eurovision 2019?

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Greek magazine TV Ethnos reports today, that Eleni Foureira will appear as a guest at the next Eurovision Song Contest in Israel.

There are no more details, such as whether we will see her in the final or in one of the semifinals, or whether she will appear on her own or with an other artist.

The great success of Elena Foureira and Fuego, especially among the fans of the contest, seems to have prompted the organizers to make that decision. However, if we see Eleni Foureira at Eurovision 2019, this will be the first time that a host country calls as guest the runner up of the previous contest.

Eleni Foureira, in the past few days, has been in Madrid, performing at the Los 40 Music Awards. She sang a different version of Fuego, equally impressive as the original.

The popular Greek artist, received also a platinum record for the sales of Fuego in Spain.

Would you like to see Eleni Foureira again on the Eurovision stage as a guest?
