The interest in Greece for the Eurovision Song Contest seems to be the same as last year when Greece achieved their best ever placing in the eurovision, 3rd. Due to the very bad showing of Greece this year many people thought that the interest would decline but the greek eurovision fans seem to want to bring on 2003. The 10 finalists that will take part in the Greek national final will be announced some time this month. As soon as we get the information we will let you know
