Along with my opinions of the songs that passed.

Eurovision 2012 public's votes.
Could this be a kind of prediction? I guess.
We'll see.
What amazed me about this video?
That Cyprus was voted up to the fourth place, and Greece to the third. Wow, I'd really like a version like this.
And, my opinion of this year's participations?
Well, I totally like Latvia, Hungary, Germany, Norway and Italy's songs!
Not specifically in that order, but yeah!
Oh, and Bulgaria's song makes multiple references to other languages.
I specifically heard "S'agapao poli" which means "I love you very much" in Greek, and something about amour in French, too.
Ehehee!
Well, for the rest of the songs? I have to listen to them all through first. ^^
OH! And Jedward participate this year, too! :O Haha, my cousin will go crazy!

Eurovision Winners Ever Since 1956.
It's actually pretty awesome to listen to all of these songs.
You realize how much the style of music that is popular has changed over the years.
I think people of different decades like and have voted for totally different sounds.
But, why does that happen? What do you think?
The Winners from 1956-1980, the songs that received first place in Eurovision Song Contest.
The Winners from 1981-2010.

Eurovision winners 2000-2010
The Eurovision winners of the last decade...
Denmark -Estonia -Latvia -Turkey -Ukraine -Greece -Finland -Serbia -Russia -Norway -Germany
Well, in 2000 I was only 7 years old, so I don't think I really watched Eurovision.
That means I don'tremember know any of the songs that won from 2000 to 2003.
I'm sorry Denmark, Estonia and Latvia...
And, Turkey's song I'm not quite sure that I remember the performance on the Eurovision final, or the next year's in Turkey.
But, I am definitely able to recall Ruslana from Ukraine and the impression she had made to me.
Of course, I don't think any Greek person will ever forget Helena Paparizou with her "Number One", which also ensured our victory in 2005.
Ow, so touching. So many memories.
Anyway, in 2006, the contest was held in Greece, and I remember how much my father like Lordi. And they won. Ow.
Well, the next years are important for their own reasons.
And, each participation has left a different mark to me.
Norway's was the most moving moment in this video, in my opinion.
I don't really know why.
Maybe because the song took so many votes. The most in the history of Eurovision.
Maybe because I have linked it to so many nice memories.
Maybe because it was just an awesome song.
But, it definitely will stay with all of us!

Eurovision 2010: Greece
Hahaha, I found some interesting information I had absolutely no idea about.
Giorgos Alkaios (the singer of the track) is one of the few Greek artists who holds the record for consecutive concerts during the last decade in Cyprus, Germany, England, Canada, Australia and in the USA. Over the years more than 300,000 people have watched Giorgos performing live.
Giorgos Alkaios is known to non-Greeks as well, due to his appearance in charts around the world. Outside Greece he is considered as an ethnic artist, and for that he has been invited to perform in prestigious venues.
His song Syrmatoplegma became the anthem of the famous football team Galatasaray, when the team won the transcontinental Cup and the UEFA cup.
His first platinum record abroad came from Sweden, when Antique performed his song Opa-Opa a top hit in charts around Europe.

So, I made some comments about it. It goes and applies for all the countries, the same.
Gee, people, first here, then below Cyprus' representation's video.
Firstly, it's purely rude to start insulting people out of the blue, writing bad things about them and their country under THEIR representation's video. Imagine how would you feel to see so many arguments. Yes, we have a bad system, and yes we do boast about our ancient roots too much sometimes.
BUT you can't blame ALL the people of a country without even knowing them. Without even having visited their country.
I know many Greek people, of course, and I know, I have the courage to admit, that there are many people I wouldn't want to know. But, there are also people that are so good, kind-hearted, warm. Also, fighters, people that believe to a better tomorrow, and won't let things to chance. Because, we ARE fighting for our future. You can't just listen to what the media say about a country and start blaming everyone. That's just plainly silly. And racistic!
Stop bringing political issues here, and just ENJOY THE MUSIC.
And, if you don't like it, just leave it be.
It is wiser that getting involved in meaningless arguments that will take you nowhere.
Because, like it or not, your racistic, totally generalized, unbased and unresearched opinion of our country just makes us angry. But, it will change nothing.
