The third rehearsal is happening and we are heading south to warmer climes now. There we find Victor Vernicos, who will represent Greece.  At 16, he’s the youngest artist in Eurovision this year and the youngest performer ever to represent Greece. But like Amanda Georgiadi Tenfjord last year, he has both Greek and Scandinavian heritage – his dad is Danish.

If Victor is nervous about performing in such a huge arena at such a young age, it doesn’t show – he’s giving this both vocal power and some great on-stage energy, backed up by multiple giant Victors on the LED wall. Eurovidion.tv says his signature dance move is an infectious bounce that will have the arena jumping next Thursday – Ed Sheeran is one of his musical influences, and you can definitely feel the Sheeran vibe in What They Say. A confident and uplifting performance, and the Greek delegation should be very happy with that.

Costume wise, it’s the same shorts and jacket vibe as Romania’s Theodor yesterday, but less yellow. Eurovision.tv calls it safari chic.

Stephan Herholdt has again designed a promo CD single of the Greek song for ESC covers and here it is.
