Album Description

2007 album from the winner of the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest ('My Number One' was the song that won it for Paparizou). Helena Paparizou was born and raised in Sweden from Greek parents. Helena's artistic talents and anxiousness to excel in them were revealed at a very early age. More specifically, Helena's talents revolved around singing, dancing and acting. Wanting to involve herself and excel in her talents, Helena began her studies of these arts even while she was still in school. One of Helena's significant turning points in her life was with the creation of Antique, a group she created with her good child hood friend, Niko at the age of seventeen. Almost immediately, Antique signed their first record label contract with the then newly founded record label Bonnier in Sweden. Their debut single "Opa" became a huge hit, reaching number one on the single charts and gaining a gold status. Sony/BMG.

Her Best Album To Date - Reviewed on 2008-08-07

While 'Yparhei Logos' was terrific, Elena really shines in this album. Every song on this cd is worth listening to, each for a different reason. I was never one of those Greek vs. English supporters. Some people claim all her songs are better in one language versus the other. That's just silly. For example, "You Set My Heart On Fire" is an English version of "Typseis," but I prefer the English version a lot more. The same goes for "The Game of Love," in which the English lyrics flow better with the chorus. If I had to choose my favorite Elena album, this would be it.

I really have mixed feelings about Helena Paparizou. First off all, this english language cd is pretty good. It contains english versions of many of her Greek songs, such as "mambo, "Gigalo" and "Let me let go". Her Euro vision single,"My number One" is not included here. But it's influence is heard on several tracks including the standout,"Heroes". Also worth mentioning is the Rock driven power ballas, "Teardrops".

I like Helena Paparizou and her music. But I dont love it. Although she is a Swedish born Greek, i prefer her songs in English. Her Greek songs to me are not that special. Although she is very popular in Greece. She's huge. And I know I'm not in the monority when I say this, She was much better in her band ANTIQUE.
