: May 16 2025

Our Greece, with the charismatic Klavdia and the inventive direction/scenography of the Eurovision master, the Greek creative director Fokas Evangelinos, managed to get her message across, to move the millions of viewers as well as all those who were in the Eurovision "arena" in Basel, Switzerland, to qualify for Saturday's Grand Final but also to win rave reviews from the international media. Congratulations to Greece, to Claudia, to Fokas Evangelinos, to Arcade and to the entire Greek mission and congratulations to ERT for its amazing broadcast. Thank you Greece!

Our own Klavdia managed to secure a ticket for the grand final of Eurovision 2025, which will take place on Saturday, May 17, and her shocking performance did not go unnoticed by the BBC.

The audience was thrilled with Klavdia's performance, her vocal abilities and her special stage presence and as it emerges from the comments of thousands of users on social media, they can't wait to see her again in Saturday's grand final.

Among those who recognized the Greek participation in the event was the BBC, which through a post on social media wrote that "we can't get enough of this creepy rhythm, Klavdia's performance is simply magical".

The comments of British citizens under the post are also dithyrambic, praising Klavdia's performance, the depth in her voice and how much she managed to move them, even though they do not know Greek.

Klavdia took to the stage representing our country, in 7th place, and enchanted the audience with her performance. She started the song a cappella, with her voice capturing the audience's attention from the first moment and created an atmosphere full of tension and emotion.

Her stage presence - with the choreography that focused on emotion, the intense movements of the hands without unnecessary movements, with the dancer-"mother" who accompanied her, the costumes, the sets and the visual effects - captured with theatricality and sensitivity the deep message of the song: separation.

The conception and execution of the choreography was impeccable, "speaking" even to those who do not know Greek. This is exactly what the Greek participation sought with this song and this presence.

One of the most striking points was at the end, when the lights suddenly went out. Seconds later, Klavdia reappeared, wearing a different, white, simple dress, a directorial choice that symbolized catharsis and inner redemption. Thus, he closed the performance of "Asteromata", shocking the whole stadium and all of us who watched it on television or on the internet.

The costume ensemble, which enhanced the dramaturgy of the show, also bears the Greek signature of the Greek house Deux Hommes, the designers Dimitris Alexakis and Grigoris Triantafyllou.

The song "Asteromata", which represents Greece at Eurovision 2025 this year, is a touching composition by Arcade and Klavdia herself, with lyrics by Arcade. It is a dynamic, inner ballad that combines modern sound style with intense emotion and Greek soul.

The stage supervision of the Greek participation is signed by the experienced and acclaimed Fokas Evangelinos, who has left his imprint on many successful performances in Greece, and not only, in the competition.

A total of 26 countries will compete in the Eurovision 2025 final together with Klavdia and Asteromata appears 17th in a row.
