[chileepengwin]

OMGSH!!!!! Their version of Love Shine A Light sounds amazing - i love it! it sounds do good, especially with the harmonies etc.

[chileepengwin]

all of greece's opening acts and interval acts were great - the best in all of eurovision history!

[chileepengwin]

the best eurovision opener - EVER! Greece put on one hell of a show in 2006.

[Johndenseje]

ICELAND 2006

[neverwithoutsertab]

where is every way that i can they should add it

[lukas7878]

Thes have chosen songs which fit with each god or goddness .....so ;-)

[linkalex76]

meilleur ouverture de tous les eurovisions !!!

[imise005]

BEST OPENING EVER!!! I really mean it, finals opening act was a joke compared to this!!! Best songs, best characters, best scene and lighting! Congratulations. Athens, you've done the best!!!

[florenna]

This is probably the best SEMIFINAL opening act yet, true, but the the best opening act OF ALL was the Final 2007!

[imise005]

This was BEST of ALL eurovision openings. For me, finals opening 2007 was created without any imagination, just one song, Finlad didn't show anything of it's history or anything which could show us that esc was in finland this year. On the other side Greece mixed history with best eurovision hits

[chileepengwin]

the opening act was crap compared to greece. all it was a rock band singing a song. this had so much more.

[Willandbilly2006]

go the uk songs!

[ByScorpioNTurkey]

go turkey go Number One Kenan!!!..

[alexmagno18]

Este es un verdadero espectaculo, los griegos si saben hacer espectaculos.Estuvo genial.Espero que Helsinki 2007 lo supere (lo dudo)

[rrr1978]

Vote for RUSSIA in Eurovision 2007. Go Serebro!!!

NEW VIDEO on my channal.

Big THX!!!

[rrr1978]

Vote for RUSSIA in Eurovision 2007. Go Serebro!!!

[Nemrrol]

K horror de escenario?

¿Pa que tanta luz? o.O

[mad1986MAD]

the name of the song is "welcome to the party"!!!ANNA VISSI sing it!!!

[TheLordOfNorway]

What is the name of the song the four ladies are singing at the begining?

[Willandbilly2006]

dunno but its shit

[nottynathan]

I love the way United Kingdom winners all sound funny! I like the way that Love shine a light is used as the final song! Why don't The United Kingdom get any chance in eurovision anymore? Its not fair! We should get the votes we used to!

[alexcious]

The 1st. song that played was "Welcome To The Party" by Anna Vissi, a song from the Greek National Selection.

[IIImike89III]

thats an openning act!!

[greeko25]

The show was great , a bit too much , a bit stupid , a bit kitch and a lot of fun

[bkasiol]

CitiusAltiusFortius, WATERLOO is sang by TREIS MOIRES, godnesses of DESTINY

[florenna]

ESC 2006 was the best EVER!! All others just pale in comparison... They will fade into history, 2006 never will.

(@TaykoTayko, *who* has chosen? You?)

(And yes, this opening ceremony is really great!)

[lenitao]

great opening....with wild dances and other great songs!!

i think the best eurovision was 2004, then 2005 and then the monsterous one..2006!!

but the opening of 2006 was the best ever!!!

[alexcious]

I couldn't agree any more: This opening act was so much better than the final one!

[nixter888]

i think the final one can not be surpassed by any other!!!!

[alexcious]

Well, the female vocalist just rocked the whole arena and moment.

[TaykoTayko]

ESC 2006 has choosen 'The worst ESC' ever of the history of the contest.And ESC 2004 has choosen 'The fourth best Esc'.

[torpedosite]

excellent...

hey guys, how can i find the list of those performed songs. I don't know some of them.

[reisCOLE]

Spectacular, unbielevably great semi-final ceremony!! Loved it...

good job guysxoxoxox

[Anfisa2004]

brilliant...Teh only thing they did not do very well was Ruslana's presentation. The voice singing it is quite strange... And the wild energy of the Ukrainian Goddess is hard to match indeed.

And where is Apollo? Is is Sakis himself? He could well be...

[IncubusThe]

@Anfisa2004

No Apollo, no show :P I agree, noone can sing as Ruslana can :)

[dasmysteryman12]

@IncubusThe I agree with Anfisa2004. I mean, Apollo is the Greek god of music, duh. He SHOULD be there. But I think he's too busy helping the host entry at that year... :P

[monkeymedia]

i loved this it was so much better than the final opening

[alexcious]

I agree!!

[oterinote]

me recuerdan a la Fura del Bauls

[drasuole]

Can I download it anywhere?

[bedo88]

if dana is afrodite, i am brad pitt

[alexcious]

I love this opening act: Just the concept of the 12 Greek gods singing Eurovision hits is superb! :D

By the way, what TV broadcaster was this video taken from?

[AdamW001]

Nederland 2 - Channel 2 Netherlands. :o)

[dhxs]

This opening act was great- but the acctual show wasn't. Wtf happened with the opening act at the final? This one is sooooo much cooler!

[l3u]

What a good Opening act, I didn´t get to watch that on T.V. Thanks Athens for a awesome!!!! really really nice...

[Bravadaa]

Wow, thanks so much for putting this online! This was so much better than the final night olympics leftover stuff and Elena's second-rate antics! One of the best openers ever!
