Greece 2024: Marina Satti - Zari

[VoR]

 

[VoR]

We might be in for something a bit more traditional from Greece based on this choice.

This is her biggest hit to date

 

[Kratz]

Hmm and now they are opening song submissions?

Her back catalogue is not without its charms (albeit a bit one-note).

Also, poor Evangelia.

 

[VoR]

Yeah bit odd that they're having an open song submission when she seems to primarily write her own stuff. We'll see.

 

[auretz]

Interesting choice, she’s been on the wish list of Greeks on various Eurovision forums for a decade now. I feel like this should be a step up from Victor

 

[Tisch]

Are we re-writing history with the thread title and deleting that jumpy twink? GOOD!

 

[Beverley]

I like her

Marina Satti will represent Greece in Malmö

Broadcaster ERT has revealed that Marina Satti will represent Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö in 2024.

eurovision.tv

I didn't realise it was Greece's 50th Eurovision anniversary next year. Perhaps that's why they're making a bit more of an effort.

 

[Marina Salty]

Her latest song has been very divisive (i love it tho).



She's half Sudanese, I don't think we've had anyone else from Sudan so far in the contest but I could be wrong.

 

[Lucille]

Omg she’s fab.

It’s giving Rosalía

 

[Soldi]

I thought I recognised her name, she’s been in ASFM before with this.

Who sent it? @Saltwater?

 

[Marina Salty]

Also, poor Evangelia.

She must have developed complete immunity to rejection by now, it wouldn't surprise me if she tried to enter as a composer now given that they are actively asking for song submissions.

 

[auretz]

My only reservation to this is that they're asking for song submissions, surely she writes all her own stuff? Surely they wouldn't lump her with a generic songwriting camp song

 

[Marina Salty]

It would be impossible for ERT to do things right, wouldn't it? Of course they left room for something to go horribly wrong.
On the good side DT are working for Cyprus, but someone needs to check on Y&L.

 

[VoR]

What a surprise!

 

[D5K]

It's fine, the twins have 500 more where those came from.

 

[Lucille]

Why bother asking for submissions if you’re just going to declare they’re ALL SHIT?!?

 

[Marina Salty]

Why bother asking for submissions if you’re just going to declare they’re ALL SHIT?!?

The public criticises ERT for the habit of chosing internally. These past 2 years ERT is trying to disguise internal selection by faking openness (last year 70 appointed by ERT members of the public would co-decide, this year anyone could enter a song for Marina).

 

[Marina Salty]

Marina shared a story on instagram saying that the news of her listening to 180 songs and rejecting them all is fiction as she was in India for the marriage of her brother.

 

[Lucille]

 

[Lucille]

She’ll reject them when she GETS BACK then?

 

[Kratz]

Somebody has been telling lies about me and I think it is YOU

 

[GNL]

Marina Satti has already listened to a major part of the 150 songs submitted to ERT for the Greek representation in Eurovision 2024, and has rejected all of them.

Me after listening to an ASFM playlist.

 

[Marina Salty]

She has a song.
It's not a ballad.

 

[Lucille]

Was it one of the dog turds submitted by the Greek public?

 

[Kratz]

Thoroughly expecting her thunder to be stolen by Cyprus sending the banger Greece deemed not good enough to send itself.

 

[Marina Salty]

Was it one of the dog turds submitted by the Greek public?

 

[auretz]

Unsurprisingly, the reveal for this won't be until March. She has said that she wants people to dance to her song, so at least it's uptempo!

 

[Marina Salty]

Probably March 8th.

Don't know if this is a snippet but shazam can't identify it

Spoiler

 

[Marina Salty]

It reminds me of ronela's entry.

 

[Penelope]

Oh yes I forgot THIS was due to be QUITE THE SEXY TREAT

Thank GOD the Greeks are going back to the classic SHAKING THEIR TITS TO A BOUZOUKI formula!

 

[Lucille]

TITS are going be shaken CLEAN OFF this year!

 

[Marina Salty]

The song is going to be called Zari and will be out March 7 on Ert1.

The director of the video is this guy.

It's dice

 

[Tisch]

It's dice

The singular in English is die! But it's not used often. "Dice" to mean one is more often used, but technically incorrect.

Oh! I wondered if that may be the case why poor google says DIE for one but dice for many but never heard anyone saying roll the die in my life so
