Greece’s Second Rehearsal for Eurovision 2017

Greece has sussed the staging for this performance, however question remain around the vocals of the performance.

Demy on her own is a perfectly competent singer but on the chorus the backing vocalists are very much off. Greece may be qualifying for the final but that performance leaves questions around the vocal competency. Changes have to be made if they want to score well with the juries. This is not an issue of the performance overall, it’s a real doubt around the vocals.

25-year old Dimitra Papadea, better known by her stage name Demy, was born in Athens in 1991. She shot to fame in Greece and Cyprus in 2011 when she featured on the Midenistis song “Μia Zografia”. Her first solo single, “Poses Xiliades Kalokairia”, was released in 2012, and featured on her debut album “1” which topped the album charts in Greece. To date, Demy has released two albums and performed on 19 singles. She is also currently studying for a degree in Law in Athens.
