Songs’ reveal
During the latest episode of EurovisionGR, it was announced that instead of dropping all entries at once, ERT plans a two-day rollout:
- On January 17, the first batch of Sing for Greece songs will be published on ERT’s official digital platforms and YouTube.
- On January 18, the remaining songs will follow.
Last week, the competing acts were announced in a special episode. In total, 264 entries were submitted to ERT to compete to represent Greece. These have been narrowed down to 28 songs that will compete in Sing for Greece; Fourteen songs will qualify from the semi-finals to compete in the final itself.
Greece’s Eurovision journey
In 1974, Greece made its debut in the Eurovision Song Contest with “Krasi, thalassa ke t’agori mou” which placed 11th. Since then, they have participated on 44 occasions (41 of which made the Grand Final), and have won once, in 2005.
Greece’s most recent Eurovision participation saw them being represented by Klavdia with the song “Asteromáta”. Following her performance, Greece qualified for the Grand Final, finishing in 6th place. She earned a total of 231 points, of which 105 were from the national juries and 126 were from the televoters.
