The official detailed results of Greek selection for Eurovision 2023 have been published in a TV Moring show, “Super Katerina” by the laywer of one of the finalists, Melissa’s Mantzouki.

The ERT jury decided on the top three and held meetings with the team of the three artists about their perfomance, video clip ideas and promotion of the song. After that, the jury submitted their final vote on the three songs.

On the other hand, we remind you that the demographic jury, 70 people who where drawn among 3.000, voted between the 7 songs. 25 of the members were at the age group of 18-24, 20 at the agre group 25-34, 15 members in the group 35-44 and just 10 members on the age group of 45+.

The ERT jury who voted is:

  • Γιάννης Πετρίδης, music producer
  • Κωνσταντίνος Μπουρούνης, responsible for ERT youth programms
  • Λεωνίδας Αντωνόπουλος, journalist and music composer

The votes of Greek demographic jury among the three contestants were the 50,6% of the results, while the other 49,4% was determined by the Jury voting.

The final results are:

Greece: Shout out is not disqualified despite being leaked!

One of the three remaining competing songs for Greece this year has been leaked on social media and based on our greek websites, the song will not be disqualified from the selection.

Based on our research, ERT decided not to disqualify “Shout out” at the moment, based on the fact that it does not violates any of the EBU rules.

Last year, Die Together has also been leaked-as a demo- a month earlier than expected, and many other songs from these year’s national finals. This situation is usual and cannot be dealt with.

ERT continues the process with the three remaining songs and ,by the end of the month, there will be official announcements about the artist and the song that will represent Greece at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

The three songs that are still in the selection are:

Melissa Mantzoukis – Liar

Victor Vernicos – What They Say

Αντωνία Καούρη & Μαρία Μαραγκού – Shout Out

You can vote in our poll to share your opinion of “Shout Out”:

The previous days artists and their teams met up with the Greek Jury to discuss their  detailing proposal for Eurovision (VideoClip, Promotion, Staging etc). That’s the exact process that took place last year also. Next up, the jury will give their final vote, just like the Audiance jury, and the song and artist will be selected for Eurovision 2023! The announcement will probably happen in January.

Greece: ”Shout Out” of Antonia Kaouri & Maria Maragou leaked!

One of the three candidate songs that are in ERT’s shortlist for the Greek representation for Eurovision 2023, leaked on Twitter a few hours earlier.

The song by Antonia Kaouri and Maria Maragou was initially leaked on Twitter and is now also available on YouTube. Many of the members of the audience committee who have heard the songs have confirmed that this is one of the songs that they heard during the voting.

The user who leaked it on Twitter claims to be from Sweden and has contacts with the song’s composers. We remind you that the song is signed by creators from Sweden.

We await with interest whether this leak will affect the participation of the two women in the final selection phase of the Greek participation.
