Thanks for the info. Do you know how long specifically?
Btw I love her new hairstyle, I hope she will keep her head extensions-free for a while! She looks sweeter and cuter like this. 

Thanks a lot Tina! 

on repeat.

Thank you very much Tina

I don't want to sound mean but will you guys stop with your "thank you x" and "thank you y" comments (in every single thread!) and start posting comments about the actual content of the thread (for instance the performance)? Some quality control has to be imposed on these message boards or else no one will be interested to visit the forum anymore. Thanks for the understanding!

I was embarassed watching it. I'm sorry, but these are my feelings. You can't get on stage unprepared. I felt disturbed when she did the Rythmos Radio gig at the beginning of the summer and she was reading the lyrics but ok, there everything was fresh. But to have performed a song for months and flop like that, sorry, no excuse! But this is the result of the constant playback Greek shows attendence where she barely opens her month. So if she finds excuses for herself better take the plane and go back to Greece where she is being constantly wowed and forgiven. I don't know if she cried backstage but I feel like crying right now. Thank you very much Tina! Still this is a great collector's file!

Sorry Anna but you see things absolutely wrong this time :(
I'm not arguing or anything but ... this is not the case. She was only obviously too nervous. And she don't always do playback in Greece anyway. It was long time ago she was in a Greek TV show to perform actually. And such thing happened with other stars also since people sing.

She is with extensions Derek, only shorter than usually. These are recent pictures, she cut off the old and unless she used fast growing hair lotion she's with new on ;)

I'm not arguing either but I know my sight better than you  And I have the right to express my emotions positive or negartive without intentions to impose my opinion on anyone. Please respect that and don't try, as you always do when you don't like something, to change my opinion or make me see it your way. Watching that video I can only say that she was beautiful and nothing more than that.

okay then see this as a tragedy if you wish. But watch some interviews with Harrison Ford for example - a huge hollywood star - who becomes soooo nervous if someone interviews him that he becomes slow and starts stuttering.  
i guess if that is not a tragedy from a famous star then such mistake shouldn't be a tragedy from a singer who sang live!! Instead of playback.  

Well...it's a bit embarrassing, let's face it. You have to rehearse the song before going to the stage. Maybe she just had a bad day, but she doesn't look nervous to me, but too relaxed when she starts singing. It's a shame she made this mistake in Sweden where she has to show her talent much more than Greece. Anyway, this is just an anecdote.

i loved her voice & her new hairstyle  

Well, I understand her perfectly cause I sing in a gospel choir, and in most of the concerts we ALWAYS have problems with some lyrics of some songs, and it's sad cause we have been singing the same songs for a long time but we don't rehearse them a lot lately so, that's the result in concerts. What I mean is that is totally normal to forget the lyrics sometimes... The negative point is that it was a performance in Sweden (her latest ones were in August and she sang the same song) and she needs to make people know that she's a big, talented star and even if people were laughing with her joke, she should have studied the lyrics. Anyway it was a funny moment and then she rocked it (as always).  

we need translation here

  Exactly my feelings!
If it wasn't for her great vocal performance and the fact that she handled it quite well (still no excuse..) I would have been so mad at her.

Thanks! Btw just in case anyone is curious this no tags-version was uploaded by the official bingolotto account FolkspelSverige before it was taken down by Universal Music Group.

i cant understand the point of what UMG acting like this and ban the videos. It's like Helena's performance in Bingolotto was pointless. as long as noone can watch it. right?

I think it's because of the track instumental that is the same as in the studio version of the song.

The track instrumental? They would need to get permission from Universal Music first.
