/0 Comments/in , /by

With the beginning of the new year, ERT, Marina Satti and her team are in full swing, for the selection of the song that will represent Greece at Eurovision 2024, but also for the selection of the creative team that will direct Marina’s stage performance in Malmö.

Through an Instagram story posted a few hours ago, we may have gotten an idea of one of Marina Satti’s potential collaborators, who is internationally renowned.

We’re talking about the German choreographer with roots from Komotini, Greece, Metznoun Mecnun Giasar, who is known as Majnoon and has worked with huge artists from the world music industry, and has also won a Grammy for his work on Rosalia’s Motomami.

When asked about a possible return to Greece, Majnoon responded with Marina Satti’s name, her song Tucutum and the comment “for the culture“. This story was reposted by Marina herself.

In a subsequent story, where he was asked whether he would be at Eurovision with Loreen or with another artist, Majnoon did not negatively, commenting that maybe he should compete with his own music.

Majnoon’s stories have since been deleted.

Among the artists Majnoon has choreographed are Madonna, BTS and Loreen, while his most notable collaboration is with Rosalia, with whom he created the viral choreography for the groundbreaking Motomami tour. In addition to being a choreographer, Majnoon is a self-proclaimed musician, producer, director, mentor and fashion icon.

Below you can watch samples of Majnoon’s recent work:

The introductory video for Marina Satti was posted earlier today on Eurovision‘s official social media accounts. In this 15-second video, the artists provide a brief introduction to the European audience.

In this video, the Greek representative stated that she aims to promote Greek culture by taking part in the competition.

More specifically, she stated:

I can’t wait to come to Malmö in May to present our music, our culture, our energy our vibes and our dances!

Based on what she said, we can infer that Marina’s musical identity will be faithfully represented in this year’s Greek entry, which is likely to be energetic and dance with a strong Greek influence.

The song, which Marina Satti will perform in Malmö next May, has not yet been selected. The Greek delegation, however, is working hard to make the necessary preparations in order to achieve the greatest outcome.

Marina Satti, the Greek representative for the 68th Eurovision Song Contest, discussed her participation in the competition earlier today on the ANT1 show “To Proino”.

She stated in the interview that she hasn’t listened to all the songs that have been submitted to ERT before discussing her choice to take part in the competition this year.

She stated the following when the journalist asked her about the songs that were submitted:

I have listened some songs but not all of them.

We haven’t made a decision yet, but we’ve received songs in a variety of styles.

The composer of Loreen’s two entries has sent in his proposal, as far as I know.

Eurovision is a musical celebration. Our aim is to find the best song.

Why did you decide to represent Greece at Eurovision?

Why not? This is what we do. We compose music. We sing, dance, travel and take part in festivals.

Did you respond right away when the proposal was made to you, or did you need some time to consider it?

I held off on saying yes at first. In past years, there had been conversations about Eurovision. I knew it would happen one day.

At the beginning, as in the previous times, I said “next year”.

December finds the Greek representative representative in the studio for the recording of the Greek participation, while she continues to evaluate all 150 songs submitted by Greek and foreign creators.

Greece: Marina Satti’s song will not be decided by a broadcaster’s committee!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The song with which Marina Satti will represent Greece in Malmö and Eurovision 2024 will not be chosen via a televised show and hence by the audience. Thus, it was mentioned in “SUPER Katerina” morning show, that no jury will be involved in the selection of the song either.

The abolishment of a special committee for Eurovision 2024

The decision-makers have decided that there will be no involvement of a committee in choosing the Greek song for the upcoming competition. Βearing in mind the severe criticism ERT faced earlier this year about its selection process which led to the worst Greek result in Eurovision history, the reason behind this decision is considered quite obvious.

As a short reminder, the jury’s preferences were vastly different from the audience committee’s ones. Regardless Melissa Mantzouki’s “Liar” finishing first by a wide margin in the audience’s vote, the jury ranked her last, depriving her of the Greek representation in Liverpool.

As a result, in order to keep a possible committee out of the spotlight, ERT appears to have made the decision that the selection of Marina Satti’s song for Eurovision 2024 will take place without the involvement of any committee. Nevertheless, Marina Satti herself was chosen as the Greek representative without the involvement of any committee.

Greece: Marina Satti’s first interview as the Greek representative | What to expect from her entry!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Marina Satti gave her first interview to “Studio 4” and ERT1 as Greece’s representative in Eurovision 2024. Marina discussed her initial preparations for the competition, the song she will perform in Malmö, as well as how she feels about this big challenge!

Marina Satti filmed the interview a few days earlier in the Acropolis for the needs of the introductory video that will be posted on the official Eurovision social media.

Marina Satti will probably sing in Greek

Marina Satti, who is thrilled to be entrusted to represent Greece in Eurovision 2024, described what we can expect from her participation in Eurovision in a few words but clearly:

I would like my project to be contemporary, to represents my generation and the “new” Greece, beyond the stereotypes that Europeans have about us, but also that it is relevant so that they can dance and identify with it.

Furthermore, she mentioned that the Greek verse is a favorite for her participation in the upcoming competition, where Greece will celebrate its 50th anniversary in the contest, as the English-language power pop song genre is somewhat far from the genre she belongs to.

Marina Satti’s favorite Eurovision entries

Marina Satti having Mahmood’s song from 2019, “Soldi”, as her favorite entry is somehow expected, but her favorite Greek entry was certainly unexpected.

Michalis Rakintzis‘ “SAGAPO”, the Greek entry in 2002, is her favorite Greek entry, and she did not hesitate to mention in front of the STUDIO 4 camera.

Preparations have already begun

Marina Satti mentions that she is very touched with the love and joy she received from everyone when ERT announced her as the country’s Eurovision representative. She also added that from now on she also shares a common goal with all those people supporting her.

The search for Marina Satti’s song continues, for those interested in submitting complete song proposals, until December 1st.

At the moment, I’m not stressed and I feel like I’m doing what I’m doing in my life anyway, rehearsing, making music and songs.

Greece: Marina Satti’s Eurovision song will not be selected through a national final

/0 Comments/in , , /by

At ERT, the preparations for 2024 Eurovision Song Contest are underway. It seems that the idea of hosting a television show to select the song Marina Satti will sing to represent Greece in Malmö is is being shelved.

The plans for hosting a television show to choose Marina Satti’s Eurovision song are reportedly stalled, according to an article published by Typologies today. The artist’s fame as well as the broadcaster’s economic condition are what ultimately drove ERT to make this decision.

In our view, ERT made the right decision since it would have been preferable if Marina Satti and her team, along with the Greek public television, chose the song they believe would be most appropriate for the competition and her as an artist.

The funds that would have been used to produce this show can be used to fund either the stage perfromance or the production of a compelling music video.

More than 50 songs have already been submitted for Marina Satti

Meanwhile, songs for Marina Satti’s 2024 Eurovision participation are still being submitted. More than fifty songs have already been submitted, some of them by well-known musicians, according to information that was disclosed on the television program Super Katerina.

Interested artists may submit their proposals to eurovision2024@ert.gr through email until December 1st.
