Before Eurovision
[edit]Ellinikós Telikós 2002
[edit]Ellinikós Telikós 2002 was the Greek national final developed by ERT to select the Greek entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2002. The competition, hosted by Dafni Bokota and directed by Dafni Tzaferi, took place on 26 February 2002 at the REX Music Hall in Athens; it was broadcast on television station ET1, radio station Second Programme and via the ERT website.[4] Ten candidate entries competed over two rounds of voting. After the first round consisting of all ten candidate entries, jury voting selected five to proceed to the second round. The winner of the event was then selected by a 50/50 combination of jury voting and public televoting. The six-member jury consisted of Giorgos Katsaros (composer and jury president), Antonis Andrikakis (General Director of ERA), Giorgos Kyvelos (producer and advisor to the ERT president), Lefteris Koggalidis (communications, promotions and public relations at ERT), Bokota (television presenter) and Sinia Kousoula (international relations at ERT).[4][5] During the voting phase, 2002 Cypriot Eurovision representatives One performed as the special guests and video clips of previous Greek Eurovision entrants were shown, including Marinella's "Krasi, thalassa ke t'agori mou" (1974), Paschalis, Marianna, Robert and Bessy's "Mathima solfege" (1977), Tania Tsanaklidou's "Charlie Chaplin" (1978), Elpida's "Sokrati" (1979), Anna Vissi and the Epikouri's "Autostop" (1980), Bang's "Stop" (1987), Sophia Vossou's "I anixi" (1991), Cleopatra's "Olou tou kosmou i Elpida" (1992), Katy Garbi's "Ellada, hora tou fotos" (1993) and Antique's "Die for You" (2001).[5]
Prior to the event, ERT opened a submissions window for Greek composers, lyricists, and performers to submit their original songs for consideration by 17 December 2001.[6][7] By the close of the submissions window, 158 songs had been submitted; the ten songs for the event were then selected by the six-member jury and were announced on 10 January 2002.[8][9][10] Nearly 95,000 votes were cast during the show and when the combined results were presented, it was revealed that "S.A.G.A.P.O." performed by Michalis Rakintzis, was the winner.[5]

Reception
[edit]In the days following Rakintzis' selection, Greek press reported on an issue during the televoting phase in that while the process and phone numbers were explained, the host never announced the commencement of the voting period. Additionally, the singer was accused of using playback for the performance and it was noted that there were sound problems overall.[11][12][13][14] At a press conference held by the artist, Rakintzis stated that he was willing to resign from being the Greek entrant due to the voting issue, but ERT had responded that if he were to not represent the nation, then they would pull out of the contest. Rakintzis subsequently opted to remain the Greek entrant.[11][13][15] Following his selection, Rakintzis opted to not organise a promotional tour to other countries, believing that music had nothing to do with advertising.[16]
At Eurovision
[edit]
The Eurovision Song Contest 2002 took place at Saku Suurhall in Tallinn, Estonia, on 25 May 2002.[17] The participants list included the previous year's winning country, the "Big Four" countries, consisting of France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom, any eligible countries which did not compete in the 2001 contest, and countries which had obtained the highest average points total at the previous year's contest, up to 24 total participants.[18] As Greece placed third at the 2001 contest, it was permitted to participate this year.[3][18] Bokota provided commentary for the broadcast within Greece, a task she had performed for ERT since the 1999 contest.[19]
For the performance, Rakintzis was joined by four vocalists/musicians: Giannis Karmas (keyboards), Michalis Kyriakidis (guitar), Nikos Menemenoglou (drums) and Terry Mavridis (bass).[12][20] The ensemble took part in rehearsals for the performance during the week of 20-25 May 2002, which concluded with the final dress rehearsal on 25 May where the national juries of each country viewed the performances and recorded their votes.[18] They performed fourth in the running order at the contest and wore "militaristic" leather outfits which were designed by Rakintzis.[21][22][23] The outfits would later earn Rakintzis the Barbara Dex Award for worst-dressed act at the year's contest.[24][25] The song finished 17th out of 24 with 27 points, receiving points from four of the 24 participating countries.[26] Greek press was critical of the song and its performance.[27][28] Following the contest at a press conference in Athens, Rakintzis stated "I came close to throwing down my microphone and walking off the stage," commenting on the sound quality of the performance which he claimed was responsible for his low contest placement.[15][16] The Eurovision committee later released a statement that "there was no technical problem with the sound, if there was a problem it was with the singer."[15]
Voting
[edit]Voting during the show involved each country awarding points from 1-8, 10 and 12 as determined by either 100% televoting or a combination of 50% televoting and 50% national jury. In cases where televoting was not possible, only the votes of the eight-member national juries were tabulated.[18] Greece received 27 points, which included the top 12 points from Cyprus, to which the nation also awarded its 12 points.[29] Alexis Kostalas was the Greek spokesperson announcing the country's voting results during the show, a task he had performed since the 1998 contest.[30] The tables below visualise a complete breakdown of the points awarded to and awarded by Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002.
