Live in Katerini - 18.08.2012

I wonder, shouldn't we make a thread for each concert. There will be many videos from all concerts I assume?

crap, I knew there was 1 more thing I wanted to tell you guys last weekend. Yes, make new thread for each concert. we will merge them when the tour is over.

Why merge them then?
You chose, but wouldn't be easier to find what you search for in the future if there are a thread for each concert. I think it will be many videos for each concert to share here.

I wrote "we will", not "we are going to"

What is the difference?

we will - we might do it, it's not 100% sure
we are going to - it's 100% sure

Nice costumes and hair style (ChrisK must have fainted after noticing the ponytail). She looks really good but a bit overweight (not going to deny it).
Judging by these videos surprises are very few, stage production is cheap, the dancers are overly vulgar (and they are only 2 compared to those big dance crews she had over summer tour 2008 and 2010) and the only stand out moments are the opening with All the time, Poios (with her brilliant vocal performance), Tha Me Allios (with her baby tigerish explosion at the end), Popular (very cool although it's nowhere near as exciting as her Melodifestivalen performance), I hate Myself/Mr Perfect (very cool). She performs the rest of the songs like the same old Elena. They don't sound any different to her previous tours or club performances and her stage presence is no different while singing them either. I hope the duets with Christos (Melisses) were good.

Sorry but what overweight you talking about? She looks perfect.

Stage production cheap yeah but she fills the stage with her presence and thanks to the crisis it's understandable - I doubt other singers have much more expensive shows these days there
All of her songs during this concert were great not only the first songs. She was energetic and really made a flawless performance Derek. Vulgar dancers? how? I didn't see anything vulgar or insulting in there performances either.
I see nothing which could ruin the look of her tour or concert right now.

Akos pls check my post on the listen & stick to thread. That's where she looks perfect! Here she looks good thanks to her genes but she looks overweight and that affects the way she stands and moves on stage other than her looks. Some of the fine attributes she had are kind of fading away over the years and that's my opinion. Other artists didn't have more expensive productions indeed (maybe they had even poorer ones actually) but those other artists don't have a choice because they are much older and they can't make a brand new start in their careers. They are kinda past their prime. Elena still has a choice. She can go in the studio to record songs for an English album or prepare a musical, or play in a movie or basically anything other than repeating herself with these average quality concerts.
Yes dancers were vulgar and were dressed provocatively and cheap. It wasn't conceptual (burlesque theme, retro theme or whatever), they just wore cheap clothes and danced next to Elena like male strip dancers. I like Elena to be surrounded on stage by nice presences (no female dancers this time?) who look stylish and professional. Some of her performances were flawless indeed (for me the ones I pointed out) but definitely not all of them. Did you enjoy how she sang Porta Gia Ton Ourano?

I can't agree with you sorry.
oh and btw she is recording her new album I don't know how you missed this information.
edit: And yes I enjoyed every song ... obviously more than you did.

I haven't missed this information Akos. I know she will start recording her new album (we don't know if she has started recording it so far) but she can do it sooner than later. I hope she will do another 5-6 of these concerts and then get in the studio for real. Can't wait to see how her collaboration with Theodoridou will be like (pessimistic).

As far as I know she said she started recording it so don't know what you are talking about.
Her show will be nice for sure. In a club they can put more things on stage anyway even these days I think so don't know what makes you pessimistic but have it your way then.

to give me negative contribution point won't change my opinion Derek. The translation I have read said she started recording it. Even George told me she said that.
And what I said about her upcoming show I still say it won't be bad.
Like it or not but that's what I think and that's why I can't agree with you. Sorry.

the second outfit with the black fringes reminds me a mix of Gigolo music video & Nitro photoshoot in Dec 2011

My negative contribution goes to the way you were expressing yourself and not because I'm convinced she hasn't started recording songs for her new album. Everyone can stick to their opinion, just express yourself politely and don't use such smileys ( ) when I have said nothing againt you. End of story now!

I don't think I said anything insulting but i have to point out something though: it's common here on this forum in the last 1-2 years that people starts to become pessimistic about projects already before they can see it! And that is something I can't accept anymore. First see then say what is bad or what is good. I presume it will be good but of course I can't know but to be pessimistic already before you saw anything is just out of place.
this goes to everyone not only to you.

Well previous experience always plays its part in being either optimistic or pessimistic Akos, don't forget that. Nobody wants to be pessimistic (there is only a couple of exceptions I guess...).

Cool performance!

i didn't read all your comments but my opinion why is stage crap and only two dancers is because this is not big tour like Elena said she will release new album soon so i assume she will go on real big tour next year

i dont like to say "big things" cause its too early now, but i assume that next summer helena will stay in Sweden again as she stated that she will stay in Greece until April 2013!

She only goes on tour in Greece every other year + realistically speaking you can't have big productions in Greece today (not by Greek artists at least).

Why do we discuss this in the video section and not the tour thread?

I think the tours seems great. Helena with a lot of energy and she wants to make all in the audience happy. Pretty good set list also.

We need to remember the economics today, I think she does the best she can. The only way to make it (much) better would be with more money. And that is not probably possible. This tour is more then amazing even if the money spent on this tour isn't that much.

I've already said that my opinion on this tour has gotten better with time (especially after she started doing stadium concerts), but then again she isn't obliged to go on tour if the bad economy affects the quality of her shows. She always has a choice, don't forget that.
