Good Job Nicky: “If I do Eurovision this year, I won’t be leaving without a top-five finish or a victory!” | EXCLUSIVE

/0 Comments/in , /by

While we are waiting for ERT‘s announcements on the selection procedure for the Greek Eurovision 2024 entry, Good Job Nicky vehemently expresses his desire and candidacy for the forthcoming contest exclusively through Eurovisionfun.

The plan is to submit my proposal to ERT

Good Job Nicky affirmed once more, during our brief talk, that he intends to compete for the Greek representation in Malmö with a song he has already produced.

The plan is to submit our proposal to ERT! But what concerns me most of all is people’s trust. I want my country to support me. I’m up for it!

Of course, we had to ask about the song he is submitting for the competition. Good Job Nicky couldn’t help but be excited to respond to our question.

All I’m going to say is that if we were chosen this year, in my team’s and my perspective, I won’t be leaving without a top-five finish or a victory! The song is unique and unlike anything else out there.

Good Job Nicky’s song for Eurovision is ready since summer

The similar statement was made by the young singer a few months prior when he stated that he already has a song prepared for Eurovision 2024 in an interview with Grigoris Arnautoglou and The2night Show.

The song is finished. I already know what song I’ll perform, if I do it.

He also voiced disappointment in how ERT had chosen the Greek Eurovision entry Eurovision in recent years.

As we can see, the procedure has not been effective lately. If I were to do it, I would like to have the approval of greek people.

People are very smart. They will vote for the song that will give our country the best possible result.

The procedure is such a mess! It’s too much of a mess.

Pending ERT’s decisions 

The process ERT will use to choose Greece’s entry for the 68th Eurovision Song Contest has not yet been made public.

The participation of Good Job Nicky or any other artist will depend on the method used by Greek public television to select the greek entry.

But as time goes on, it becomes less and less likely that a national final will be held this year.

How many artists participated?

The terms of ERT’s announcement were clear. They wanted complete proposals, from artists who belong to a record company or through a production company. This was intended not to submit a huge number of songs, but only serious proposals, which treat the project with due care.

The bet was crowned with great success, since almost all the record companies in the country, but also several from abroad, sent their proposals. Among the candidates, as you read in the previous period in Eurovisionfun, there are several remarkable and successful artists, who of course honor ERT with their participation.

Despite what has been said since morning in various shows about the number of proposals and songs that were finally submitted to ERT, the truth is completely different and the number is much higher.

More specifically, the Greek representation in the 66th Eurovision Song Contest is claimed by 25 artists. In total, more than 40 songs have been submitted to the jury that will make the final decision!

Greece: Kalomira did not finally submit her proposal!

Greece: The deadline for Eurovision 2022 will not be extended! EXCLUSIVE

/0 Comments/in , /by

A little more than 24 hours are left for those artists who wish to claim the Greek representation in Eurovision 2022. Tomorrow is the last day of the deadline given by ERT for the submission of proposals by record labels, creators, performers, etc. According to our exclusive information, the Greek public television is not going to give any extension to the deadline.

For more than a month, the interested parties had at their disposal to prepare their proposals and send them to ERT, in order to claim the Greek ticket for Eurovision 2022.

ERT is more than satisfied with the level of participation and the great interest shown by a large and significant number of artists, creators, producers, etc., something that seemed unlikely some years ago. The choice of the management of ERT for a closed, internal selection proves to be correct, since as we have mentioned many times in the past, almost none of the artists who submitted a participation would have participated in a national television final.

So no extension is going to be given, since too many entries have already been submitted, with even more expected tomorrow.

Summing up there have been already submitted the proposals of:

Of course tomorrow Eurovisionfun will inform you about all the proposals that will be submitted on the last day of the deadline, so stay tuned here!

It is a fact that Nikolas Varthakouris or as he is artistically known – Good Job Nicky, recently submitted his complete proposal to ERT, officially claiming the Greek representation at Eurovision 2022.

Through Eurovisionfun you first read, on May 29, just a few days after the final of the previous contest, that Good Job Nicky is interested in raising the Greek colors at Eurovision 2022. During the summer we fully confirmed that the young artist is preparing a song, in order to submit it to ERT. On September 24, you first read here some first information about his song, that it is a mid-tempo, cinematic piece, that fits perfectly in the special voice of Nikolas.

We are now able to confirm that the record company Cobalt, which represents the artist, submitted its proposal to ERT earlier for the 66th Eurovision Song Contest.

This proposal includes Good Job Nicky as a singer, with a song by Hermes Geragidis, with which Good Job Nicky collaborates throughout his artistic career. Fokas Evangelinos will be in charge of directing if he is selected. Elias Kokotos, project manager of all Dream Team entries, will also play an active role in the Good Job Nicky’ s effort.

According to our reliable information, more than ten proposals of artists have already been submitted, some of which have more than one song.

In the next few days that remain for the expiration of the deadline (October 10), we expect the submission of the proposals of the other artists who in the previous period expressed interest, in order to represent Greece in Eurovision 2022.

Greece: No proposal has been officially submitted to ERT yet!

/0 Comments/in , /by

It is known that in Greece we are last minute people and this is absolutely true in the case of Eurovision! According to our exclusive and secure information, no proposal has been officially submitted to ERT, for the claim of the Greek representation in the 66th Eurovision Song Contest. This practically means that all interested parties have only one week at their disposal to submit their proposal.

We may already know the potential Greek representatives for the upcoming contest that will be held next May in Italy, we may already have their statements, but so far none of them has submitted his/her song, but also their complete proposal, at the ERT’s headquarters.

Of course, several of them have contacted ERT, asking for clarifications on the process, how to submit their proposal, etc.

The recording studios have literally caught fire, as all the candidates put the finishing touches on the songs they will submit, all hoping that they will impress the jury, which will later be invited to choose the one who will defend the Greek colors at Eurovision 2022.

The ERT team that deals with the project, with of course the prominent director of Corporate Communications Dora Chiraki, is completely satisfied with the level of the artists, but also with the increased interest from the media, production companies, record companies, etc.

What also remains to be decided is the exact way of choosing the artist and the song. As we have written in our previous articles, a jury headed by the composer and member of the Board of ERT, Dimitris Papadimitriou, will be responsible for the selection. What is being considered is for this committee to be more extensive than the corresponding committees of previous years.

The developments as you realize in the coming days will be enough and we will be here to inform you about everything regarding the selection of the Greek entry in Eurovision 2022.

Stay tuned to Eurovisionfun!
