OGAE Greece
Bulgaria, Armenia and Belarus in Kalomira's farewell party
Bessy Argyraki and Robert Williams, who together with Paschalis and Marianna Toli, placed fifth for Greece in 1977 with Mathema Solfege as well as Marianna Efstratiou (Greece 1989, 1996) were the Greek guests of honour at the hugely successful party organised by OGAE Greece to bid farewell to this year's Eurovision contestant. Also present was Dafni Bokota, the Greek commentator from 1987-2004.
The representatives of Armenia, Belarus and Bulgaria were also present as guests of honour. First arrived, Dj Balthazar and Joanna straight from their appearance on MAD TV. They were warmly welcomed by the fans and they seemed to be enjoying the party thoroughly, singing along the Eurovision entries played by DJ Antonis Karatzikos who was also the host of the party as president of OGAE Greece. Next to arrive was Sirusho together with a team of Armenians residing in Greece, followed by Ruslan Alehno. Soon they were all surrounded by cameras as many TV crews were present to interview them. They all sang and danced together in what seemed a large, international party.
Last to arrive was Kalomira, escorted by Kostas Pantzis, Poseidonas Giannopoulos (the composer and lyricist of Secret Combination) and Kostas Kapetanidis, who will be directing Kalomira in Belgrade. As soon as she arrived it was time for the show to start. All four performed in alphabetical order to a cheering crowd.

First of all I just wanna say that I love Kalomira`s song, it`s gr8 I think, my kind of music, but how come no one is mentioning how her song is just a mix of Timerland`s beat and Punjabi MC`s hit?
Check out this video on youtube and u`ll c what I mean:

Did someone look at Spain's Andreu Buenafuente show and his video of Belgrade in witch he says all the worst about the town.... The video is really humiliating Serbia!
You can watch on this link... I don't think this is good for Spain, and if this go public in Serbia Rodolfo and his "Baila el Chiki Chiki" will be so booed in Belgrade...

She needs some education from Lady Saraa.
Ani Lorak had a farewell concert in Kyiv today too. It was held on Indepndence square with some 30 000 attending. I submited the news about it together with webcast link to esctoday, but it was ignored somewhy. A pity, it's a second time they ignore my news submission so I won't try again now for sure, it's kinda rude to treat members contributions in such a way.
I think Greece will sail through to the final. Kalomira you are FANTASTIC, good luck!!!
i agree the song is excellent and kalomira is just gorgeous 
go greece !
she is soooo cute! i have some doubts on greece scoring high this year during some political issues lately -even though i think the song is one of the best this year- anyway i wish her good luck coz she is such a fresh n talented girl! she deserves to do well!!
I love Greece, I love Kalomira . . . . . . . 
GREECE RULE!!!
Kalomira is my 3rd favourite this year, and she is probably one of the nicest people in this years eurovision!
Good luck to Greece from the UK!!!
