Mario Frangoulis was proposed by ERT in a meeting at the broadcaster's headquarters last week. The meeting took place with many executives from both his record label and ERT. Mario Frangoulis, fan of the contest is about to respond tomorrow to ERT whether he goes to Eurovision 2008 or not. What kind of song will he sing? No decision if there will be internal or open song selection.

For those wondering how come a new name appeared on the web about Greek Eurovision representation, it seems that this choice was a last moment decision based upon the idea of Greece to be represented with something high in quality (!)

In case Frangoulis says no tomorrow, ERT follows the national selection with Kostas Martakis, Chrispa and Kalomira Saranti. In that case there is a thought to host the national selection around 26 of February without any decision taken on the date and the venue. The Maggira sisters will host either the national selection or the song presentation show for Mario Frangoulis.

Update - Mario Frangoulis refused; National Final with 3-4 names

Mario Frangoulis was a choice for ERT in the past few days. The contact took place immidiately and the artist seems to have seriously thought about it. On December 14 Mario Frangoulis was about to give an answer to ERT, the answer will be no according to exclusive information to oikotimes.com. The refusal had to do with the tour plans of Mr Frangoulis and maybe with the fact that there is too short time to find an appropraite song.
