Elena - No I don't bites, not as yet anyhow. I only sings.
Reporter - Helena Paparizou is here, fun that you are here!
Elena - I do also think that. I am very happy that I do this actually. It was just when the request came in, and "I am just already in Globen Arena (Where final is held). It was in January month when we discussed that. And it will be a really cool version.

Reporter - Now you show up suddenly and we haven't heard from you in a while. Do you live in Greece now or?
Elena - Yes I still live in Greece and I am here to visit and I will job a little and go back to Greece and then I come back here again.
Reporter - And what do you do in Greece then? How is it going with the career there?
Elena - The career there goes excellent and I have released about three plates, after ESC with Greece and made two big tours in Greece. And I have worked on different night clubs and then a TV show where I was in the jury, on "dancing on ice". So I have made a lot of funny things.

Reporter - But have you betrayed us (Swedes) now then?
Elena - No no no, I have not done. Absolutely not. It got to be a little weird for me. It came out today trough tabloids that my father died 2008 so we had a little rough time, because we reported these things, that the ambulance didn't came didn't arrive in time. Because the police waited on police escort because it was, how should you say. High risk zones. That there is such zones. So, my family felt very unwell and we had anger in us. So I did not felt ready to come here (Sweden) if you say so, to work and meet Swedish media. It doesn't get correct.
But now the family feel good, so it felt good to come now.
Reporter - Have you had time to follow Melodifestivalen, and seen any of the heats, or?
Elena - I saw a little on the second heat, and I liked him that did go to the final. I don't.. (remember his name)

Reporter - David Lindgren!?
Elena - He that is musical artist.
Reporter - Yes.
Elena - Excellent good. He is so good I think.

Reporter - So it is him you want to win then?
Elena - I am not really sure what I want to win. I think that Thorsten Flinck is something that makes me feel touched unbelievable much. He is so different and the way he delivers himself on. And then I like Loreen a lot, also she very good. Danny is..
Reporter - Now you don't need to say anyone more.
Elena - They are so crystal clear but they are so different. And it is very nice when there is a competition where they are so different. The thing is.. Loreen is very, very different. Not the way she sings on, she sings very good. The way she moves expressing herself. Like bodily. I like things that is a little different actually. I must say that.

Reporter - Elena, good luck now. Tonight on the rehearsal and tomorrow on the real one too.
Elena - Good luck to the ones that will compete we should say!
Reporter - Thanks that we could interfere with you.
Elena - Thank you.
Reporter - In this very glamorous lounge. There is also some fruits there.
Elena Mmm, and some candy, Swedish candy, nice. Thanks you all should have, bye bye.
