UprisingLeader

Hello there, my name is Kostas (a.k.a. UprisingLeader) and I'm a 18-year-old guy from Larissa, a city located in the center of Greece. I have been watching the Eurovision Song Contest since 2001, but I have been a fan since 2004...
My country has sent many decent songs in the past ESCs but there where some mediocre songs, too. I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of Greek music, but I occasionally listen to our music and I want Greece to be higher and higher every year on the scoreboard...

Songs I liked from Greece all these years:
2001: Antique - Die For You
2005: Helena Paparizou - My Number One
2006: Anna Vissi - Everything
Sakis Rouvas (2009) and Kalomira (2008) were ok too.

I would like to add that I am bored of the type of songs we send every year (stupid pop) and I prefer the Greek Language in our songs. I cannot understand why the fuck the composers here in Greece write songs in English when it comes to Eurovision...
