Eurovision 1991 Greece

For tasosk3, this is Sophia Vossou performing "Anixi", the Greek entry at the 1991 Eurovision Song Contest.
This powerful song is one of my Greek favourites, and was very underrated imo. But even though it didn't score well (and the sax player choked during his solo), the song is still immensely popular today. Relatively recently it became a huge club hit in Greece as a dance remix (with the vocals intact).
(Thanks to tasosk3 for the info)

@andygr07 I'm afraid it did indeed happen. If you need further proof, check out other videos of this performance.

Πραγματικά συγκλονιστική η ερμηνεία της Σοφίας. Ακούς το τραγούδι, ειδικά εκεί που το ανεβάζει με τις κρυστάλλινες κορώνες τις (από 2:30 και μετά) και ανατριχιάζεις.

Η φωνή της είναι τόσο ξεχωριστή, που ακόμη και η παραφωνία του σαξόφωνου περνάει σχεδόν απαρατήρητη.

Εύγε Σοφία, ίσως η καλύτερη συμμετοχή της Ελλάδας στο θεσμό!

Ohhh...everytime I watch this, I get a pain deep in my heart. This was an absolutely excellent performance, and the Greeks deserved 1st place. Sofia must have been in shock after hearing that sax player. How could this disaster have happened? Oh, the pain, the pain. :(

@PEIRAXTIRI1000 Minor detail - it was'nt the eudience that decided the points back then, it was national juries... But the sax-player, should have been send away of the continent for good after that performing.

[PEIRAXTIRI1000]

What a voice! There is one explanation for the fact that the european audience gave so few points to this song. They took the same drugs that the old man with the saxophone took.

[PEIRAXTIRI1000]

Διάβασα ότι είχε καταλάβει την 13η θέση στον διαγωνισμό. Άκουσα το τραγούδι από τα ακουστικά και πραγματικά η φωνή της Βόσσου έρχεται σαν μελωδική ενέργεια με σκοπό να σε παρασύρει σε μελωδικούς κόσμους. Πιστεύω ότι οι ευρωπαίοι εκείνη την νύχτα πήρανε ναρκωτικά. Τα ίδια με αυτόν που κρατάει το σαξόφωνο.
