Dima Bilan didn't sing with Nelly Furtado

The scheduled duet didn't take place anymore as the Nelly Furtado's plane arrived too late in Moscow, so Bilan and Furtado didn’t have time for the rehearsals.

Dima Bilan sang four songs alone, just before Nelly’s concert.

Sakis Rouvas to Moscow!

According to mad.tv and oikotimes.com Sakis Rouvas will represent Greece next year in Moscow.

"The Greek national broadcaster confirmed the news to oikotimes.com few moments ago but officially they will launch a special press conference most likely in September. This makes Greece the first country revealing its artist for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest. The song might be also internally selected but for sure either internally or selected by the public will be delivered by Dimitris Kontopoulos, secure sources told us."

Anna Vissi has new album after two year gap

Anna Vissi will be set to launch her brand new album - in the wake of a two year gap in the music industry.

The singer had ventured into a pain-staking procedure of sorting through 600 potential tunes, for the requirements of the eagerly anticipated album.

Her implementation of the "action plan" at a revival of her career is not only focused on fresh releases, but will also extend to giving a series of performances at the Athinon Arena, in the winter.

"I'm not doing an album with a Diva attitude - it feels the same as when I was 18 and I was searching for songs I liked. I'm seeking new sounds, something that only new people can give." (DownTown)


The collaboration with American producers/writers Diane Warren, Glen Ballard, and Brian Hewes, and Robbin Di Maggio, is to create a fresh chapter, in her illustrious career.

"One in Greek and one international which will be released later on. Patrick R. Leonard is one of the composers for the international album, famous from his collaboration with Madonna (he wrote Frozen and Like a prayer) and whom I'm very happy to be working with".

"As for the composers... let this be a surprise. I have listened to more than 600 songs, I'm in a studio from morning to night and I feel that I'm living a very special period of my life".


Listen the promo song Diri Daxta which is sung in Greek/English.
