Hahaha whatever

Learn to repect and not make racistic comment about my english, and since you are out of topic you can't really say you are doing the right thing or perfect innocent boy even if you have a big lips.

I voiced my opinion about helena those that comment on me in a unpleasant manner should get a life.

Haha, dude!

Learn some english properly before trying to lecture us, I'd wager a fair few people here are native english speakers (like myself) and many more are fluent, and you're just making a fool of yourself :P

or let me pu tit this way, go to google and type in Helena my nuber 1 eurovision 2005 and watch the performance via youtube: just consider the very beginning of the performance, the first line of the song where she sing "you're my lover under cover you're my secret passion and i have no other" and watch her movements carefully (sex symbol) or the bit where she sing "you're addiction, my conviction" how she communicates with male dancers (Erotism).

I think someone's confusing the word erotic for sexy. There is a difference.

Helena paparizou, my nuber 1 show was defenitely erotic, they used erotism as an opportunity to do the trick, to win interest and to win esc by looking at the previous winners such as Sertab who carried burning sensuality (Belly dance) to the stage and won for Turkey, thereofre Greece thought noooo, turkey won esc and it be shame on us not to win after many many years so the year after Turkey won, in 2004 Greece send Sakis and to belly dancing like birds with him on stage to win but they managed to reach top 3 with erotic style and they decided to follow that format and in 2005 they send a bimbo like Helena with 4 male dancers to be more niticable and erotic ofcourse and they won it. As for Ukraine's Shady Lady, she scored just same as Helena Paparizou, that is 230 points with erotic show.

I am not saying there is anything wrong with using erotism, like i said, its an apportunity that countries wants to take advantage of, and it works well so it is obvious they don't want to miss that opportunity, therefore we cannot say Greece didn't have that opportunity, Helena was perfect opportunity, the show was erotic, go and watch my nuber 1 performance again and see how Helena dance and communicate with her dancers, and if you still deny erotism was used then that is totally up to you, i know my view and Helena and Greek delication also knows what they did to win esc, but the song was nothing special, without erotism, hot dance it would have been very hard to win with that song of easy lyrics, cause it is not hard to write stuff like you're my lover under cover etc....

lol, "My number one" erotic? Compared to "Ooh aah just a little bit" it seems like a nursery rhyme :)

For the person who asked, regarding "Papeles Mojado", Elena sings in both Greek and Spanish. She sings the intro in Greek, and the chorus in Spanish.

They're actually not songs from the film. They're songs inspired by the film.

"if My Number One turned you on, I'm not going to ask what Qele Qele did" - lololol!!!

And as for "Shady lady"!!! Ani Lorak sticking her ass out on top of a box that looks like it will collapse at any moment! At that moment I was holding my breath because I was secrectly thinking how funny it would be if the box collapsed (and painful ofcouse ;))

Paparizou does have an amazing voice. Check out her live in France with Nana Mouskouri. Or her new ballad "Mathe Prota Na Agapas" for example. All summer long she has had sold out shows. Alpha will be airing one of the concerts this December, so I am happy for that. :)

And you can not say that she is still carrying the ESC thing in Greece and is doing well only because of that. She has changed her style completely with the new album (rock) and it is still topping the charts.

By the way, American E! channel is doing a special called "Worlds Sexiest People". Guess who they got on it? :) Elena will appear on it. I think it airs end of September.

About the lyrics, Jonny covered that very well.
Maybe we have a different view of what's an 'erotic show' :)

Cyprus is gonna win ESC next year?: Are you having a laugh!! The choreography for "my number one" isn't designed to be just "erotic". Obviously the routine is very saucy to go with the song, but it isn't intended to be "erotic"! And those lyrics are hardly erotic, virtually every pop song has lyrics like that.
"Are you the kinda guy who's got that flare? Yeah...
Get your groove on
Get a move on
Whoah, yeah... "
- Touch my fire

"Just take a look at me
Deep inside and you'll see
All I kept under cover
There is one thing I bet
You're about to regret
I'm no longer your lover"
- Shady Lady

"I am your superstar – you feel me, baby
I'm your shining star – you reach me, baby
I know what you are – just show me, baby
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready for love?
" - Superstar

Do all these seem erotic aswell??? Personally I dont think so.

If My Number One is Erotic then so is My Galileo :P

Mina

The choreography of my number 1 was defenitely erotic, mini skirt, hot legs and movements especially in the beginning of the song/performance where she was using both of her hands, touching herself using sex symbol, below are the erotic words of my number 1:

"you're my lover under cover"
You're fire and desire"
"When i kiss your lips"

WOW, these are more than hot staff, erotic, its all clear. Well she turned me on, but the song was nothing special other than being screamy trashy.
