she is ! and I'd love to be one of her nephews

in general I find ridiculous to say that she gets older being 28

haha...you are absolutely right

ANY promo would already be helpful

aunt, not granny

I know Reb! I was joking referring to the "she is getting older" thing
I know she is not a granny but aunt

I know but Siranos obviously confused the two words which sounded pretty funny

True At least a new Best post was born

so she could start a career as granny with her singing grand childs then she lso doen't need to hurry up with anything internationally

How many singers you know who are over 30?
Don't get me wrong but in music industry is a huge competition, so one hit it's not enough. Making international carrier isn't so easy

I don't want Helena to make an international career, I want Helena to try to make an international career.I won't have any problem if she tries hard for it and she doesn't manages it, because at least she will have give it a try.

I didn't Rebecca , I knew what Akos meant saying '' granny'' (actually aunt )her brother's/sister's children of course , don't know which of them or both have babies though but I know they have . I dont want Elena to be a grandmother at all, 2nd int. album first please then she could grow up kids .

ps glad we/ I made a nuclear post though

but she is not over 30 yet 28 its an apogee of life two brilliant years in front , but 30 its not an obstacle for everything, its a myth that older singers cant compete with younger ones for such an artist like Elena this rule simply doesnt count .I know that for young blood it works easier but we have a plenty of examples when a big ''star'' turns off after three performances .I totally agree with you that make an international career isn't so easy but she at least have give it a try Labros is right ( I mean her 2nd int. album)

I wasn't about Helena. Just not many "old" singers still exist on music stage

Madona, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and so on.. Are they younger that 30?

Not at all

Don't forget Valentina Hasan

I think isn't late. She still can make it, if she tries.
Yeah after ESC she could've had a big chance, with My Number One which is also a catchy song.
Pity it didn't work.
You know, I think one of the "problems" that doesn't help good artists like Helena, to make an international career is the fact that people prefer trashy, catchy, meaningless songs to good and meaningful ones.
Just look at that kiddo, Justin Bieber (or how the hell is called -.-) and all the success he's having.
That's frustrating.

or that rappers who sing about money, "i can get any girl i want", crime and these things

contradiction
You wrote My number one is catchy song and next you said the problem is people like trashy, catchy songs

I guess there's a difference between catchy and trashy catchy xD

Cathy always isn't ambitious. Every catchy song is silly, something like; llalalala

I dont think my number one is particularly meaningful but it still has more class and attitude than a lot of worldwide hits out there.And no it's not late for her and she is NOT getting old.She will be 40 and still super sexy.Btw Sarbelita would you like to mention any young international star who does something with her music or on stage that Elena can't do because of her age?I personally can't think of any younger international female pop star who is more beautiful, talented and charismatic than her.Might be subjective but still realistic to me!

Just every worldwide singer started carrier when they were young. For example Christina Aguilera and Rihanna, Britney etc became famous when they were teenagers.

Good point but there are examples of singers who became popular much later in their lifes.All I am hoping for is that she will release that freaking upcoming int.album sometime soon...

its not subjective at all its objective

Sarbelita wrote:Cathy always isn't ambitious. Every catchy song is silly, something like; llalalala

I can't agree with this. If song is catchy it doesn't mean it's meaningless or just lalalala, for me catchy songs are those who are caught in your mind cos of melody that's kinda easy to remember, doesn't have to be trashy or meaningless song.

Its not international carier just greek carier

How old was Fergie when she became famous worldwide?
How old was Gwen Stefani when she became famous as a solo act, with music totally different from her previous?

Nothing is impossible. She is 28.

and if she wants she will make it. Period.

If Susan Boil can do it .. Why cant Elena ?!

People might laugh of it, but you have a point!

extreme example but true

NatalieNatalie wrote:If Susan Boil can do it .. Why cant Elena ?!

Because Susan Boil appeals to 50-year-olds. Helena doesn't

But even 50-years-old listen to her..

the point is that she can make it without doubt IF she wants.

haha the proper question must be "does elena want to have an international carreer?"
we all know she can if she wants to

couldn't agree more.

I think she is afraid of that "right-timing thing"

I agree.

Just think about 99 Luftballons by Nena, it's a catchy song yet a meaningful one.

Catchy and meaningless: GaGa's Poker Face.... "Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun"... thanks for telling me GaGa!

Sure!

Back in -99 Antique werent even famous in Greece.They were big in Scandinavia though and they were successful among some European markets with their club hits.

She can, but she has to work hard for it... She has to leave Greece...

I voted for the middle option - as much as it would be great, I doubt that she will be able to make it big internationally - in Europe I think she definately can if she works hard, but probably not UK/USA/Australia :(

Voted!
