Eleftheria Eleftheriou will represent Greece at the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Aphrodisiac”.
It was already clear that the Mediterranean country would send something up-tempo and slightly trashy to this year’s contest, as the four songs in the running all fit broadly into that category – but a mixture of jury and public votes gave the nod to the singer with the alliterative name that will no doubt give Europe’s commentators something of a hard time in Baku.
The Ellinikos Telikos national final was, perhaps appropriately, a somewhat low-budget affair held in the middle of a shopping centre, elevators and all. A far cry from Globen two nights ago, but then that’s part of the charm of the Eurovision Song Contest!
Greece will perform in the first half of the first semi-final to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Tuesday 22 May.
