Is Sakis flying? Yeah he is!

Ticket sales for the big music festival in May have started and while our own «favorite» will stay for a while to our homeland (by Friday he will go back to Berlin), some candidates received the Â«red card» from the EBU .

The song of Georgia «We Dont Wanna Put Én» with pun against Putin annoyed the committee, that warned the Georgians they will not be accepted it, if the lyrics of the submitted song don't change on 16th of March, where all countries are required to deliver their final entries.

It is true that the regulations do not allow EBU lyrics with political messages, but the rule was not applied in last year's contest when Israel sung «The Rush Vutton» contained clear messages against Iran's nuclear policy and the chairman of Ahmadinejad.

Sakis Rouvas, however, not only did not annoy the Russians, but was cheered in the theater of the Kremlin at the Russian selection contest where he appeared. The tour resumes on Friday with Germany as the first stop, and the video clip promoting the Greek entry is ready.

Shot in various corners of Athens, Kalimarmaro and the Odeon, the new video was directed by the Russian/Ukrainian Katia Tsarik (she had directed the video of Ani Lorak) and presents a huge ... chase. Couples in love are running on the streets of Athens looking for a magic ticket to the concert of Sakis Rouvas, where he will be singing «This is our night».
