Why? :S
I find the music more important..

Yeah, the music is important, but the problem is that Sony promises a lot and then does nothing!!!! The truth I expected more from the promotion of Mr. Perfect!!!

ha? sorry but the clip was recorded so eventually they will release it. Relax.
btw music and video two different things.

Relax!! The video was never told to be out on Monday, and well, it's been only 5 days since its release, what kind of promotion could have been done? They post it on facebook everyday 3-4 times. But as long as there isn't any other show except for DOI to present it, we should wait for more things later.

Ok, Then we only have to wait....

So far everything has been perfect promo-wise. We shouldn't complain for the sake of complaining.

Posted above. But don't pay too much attention, it's just a few fans voting. We've make her #1 At least some people would play the song just to know.

That's cool!

Is there any positive news about charts?

correction: no.1 song by a Greek artist. The song and the writers aren't Greek.

That is nice!

To get it even more spectacular we can say no. 1 song by a swedish artist too.

Guys, today I've found a surprise checking the Spanish Singles Chart regarding Greek music:

41 E 0 0 1 ELENI FOUREIRA REGGAETON EMI MUSIC

I wonder how that song managed to debut in my country at #41.

If there is an artist I've expected to enters the charts one day is our Elena.

Surprises are part of the game. I don't think Mr Perfect will have a good chart run in Greece btw. It doesn't seem to be climbing higher in the charts and I personally attribute this to its quite unusual sound for modern day pop standards. Now it's a different kind of dance-pop that dominates the charts and radio producers seem to prefer those songs to Mr Perfect which was described as HI-NRG by Sony Music Greece's press statement. A good thing is that the song has generally gotten good feedback from fans and non-fans.

I see Derek. But listen, about Eleni, she doesn't have fans here, her music hasn't been covered/posted by any site, is not being played on radios... is not selling on itunes! so it's a mistery to me, cause in that position she has sold at least 400-450 copies (we know that cause Promusicae sometimes leaks sales data).

just to let you know, "Reggaeton" was massive in Greece, even before it was officially released as a single, and still is of course

Thanks for telling. But to be big in Greece don't provide a debut in another country.

haha of course

I think this song is not climbing the charts because it is not as good as the others, you can see in Greece there are more successful songs above dance-pop ( like mou´xeis perasei among others)

About a good feedback among fans and non fans....where? BIO did had a good feedback, porta gia ton ourano had a good feedback, tha´mai allios had a moderate feedback, an isoun agapi I think it had a good feedback...but Mr. perfect I can´t see people is so happy with this song and video....

I disagree with your interpretation Javi. First of all I said that other dance-pop songs are preferred over Mr Perfect because they have this sound that immediately places them among the hits.
Is this song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrFtcc7AgQU) as good as MRP? I don't think so, yet it has climbed much higher in the Greek charts because it has this David Guetta vs Britney Spears vs LMFAO electro-dance-pop sound that is dominating the charts. Mr Perfect has a much better production and Elena's vocals are obviously better but this style is not so radio-friendly today, at least I don't get to hear many songs that resemble MRP on the radio today? Do you?

Youtube is a good site to check for positive or negative feedback. The comments on her FB page are obviously a bit biased (99% of them are always positive), so have a look at the feedback on youtube (for fans and non fans and PF or HPC (for fans only). The video has received mostly mixed to negative feedback whereas the song has received mostly positive and some mixed feedback but all of her songs have had some mediocre or negative feedback at first, even BIO which later became a massive hit.

not to mention other music sites like spotify etc. As I remember they also liked the song.

I tend to agree with you most of the times but this time I can´t. About the feedback, I only talk about what I read here, I´m not such a fanatic fan so I haven´t seem what it´s written on her videos, but it´s ok, I trust you so I might be wrong...

About the quality of the song...I do see a lot of songs better than this one out there and they deserve to be higher than Mr.Perfect. Check out this: http://top40-charts.com/chart.php?cid=2 This is a top 20 from Greece, there we can find Kasabian, Emili Sandé, Adele, Vandi, Imany, Vertis, Gravitonas....singers with good charts positions and all of them off from the dance-pop songs (at least on that chart). I´m not saying dance-pop is a bad kind of music, I do love some of these kind of songs, but I usually get tired of all of them quickly. Helena has some amazing songs among this kind and they are hotter than fire. In my eyes Rihanna, Lady Gaga...have done songs of that kind and I loved them.

Helena could have done an easy move coming back with another song like BIO, instead of that she has "changed" and tried a new kind of music which I can´t define (she did the same with an isoun agapi, porta...), if this song sounded good I wouldn´t complain but in my opinion this song is nothing but a "cheap" ( I can´t find another word sorry) song which has nothing new, nothing memorable, with a radio friendly structure...it could have been sung by any artist and even for a new artist it could have been good but not for Helena, come on, not after BIO. Do you know what I´m trying to say?....With mou´xeis perasei, the melody of the guitar stays in your mind when you finish the song, the same happens with the flute of an isoun agapi of the rhythm of BIO.


I don´t like this style for her, even Dancing without music was better than this

I think it is on good places right now!

For her Greek superstardom status it can be considered a flop but let's see how it goes in the upcoming weeks.
