The first semifinal of the 'Sing for Greece' competition took place to determine which song will represent Greece at the 70th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest. The event featured a crowded stage with three presenters—Maggira, Kapoutzidis, and Vranas—highlighting the contest's theatrical nature, though the small stage proved a challenge for their number. After two hours and the performance of 14 entries, the public voted for seven songs that will advance to the grand final on Sunday. The seven finalists, announced in a random order by presenter Betty Maggira, reflect a diverse range of styles and artists, including "Άλμα" by Rosanna Mailan and "YOU & I" by STYLIANOS, each vying for the coveted title. The anticipation builds for the upcoming second semifinal, scheduled for Friday the 13th, where additional songs will be selected for the final. With the Eurovision event being a cultural staple in Greece, the results of this competition could impact not only the international music scene but also Greece's national pride in representing the nation on a global stage, highlighting the enthusiasm and talent present within the country’s music industry.
