Giorgos Theofanous gave a comprehensive interview to the show “Smile Again” and Nikos Syrigos. The well-known lyricist and composer mentioned, among others, Natasa Theodoridou, with whom he no longer speaks.
“Antonis Vardis left his life angry. We are often at odds with the singers, but on the other hand, if I had a voice, let me sing. If I had the voice and face of Konstantinos Argyros, I would sing his songs. I wouldn’t just write them”, Giorgos Theofanous initially said.
Referring to Giorgos Dalaras and his statements regarding singers and advertisements, Giorgos Theofanous said: “Dalaras has the right to say what he wants, on the other hand it is not very right for young people. I saw the interview of Nikos Karvelas. A lot of what he said is true, but it may have been said in the wrong way. He is not wrong regarding the cesspool of the Parliament because the MPs and the politicians are in a safe place.”
Regarding Eurovision, Giorgos Theofanous said: “I heard that the committee’s vote was discounted. But what are these things? The president of ERT himself denied it. I am not saying to exchange 12 arias, like the northern peoples. I don’t know if there are any cooking in the rating anymore. But I’ve seen it happen. When I first went to Eurovision, I paid for the previous year’s cooking.
Committees of other countries told me that they cannot give us points, because the previous year they were promised a rating and finally they were given one. I want Marina Satti to bring the cup, as well as Cyprus, but it depends on what ERT will invest. The contest is now only vision, the song is by the way. I preferred the song to have a verse and a chorus, I’m old school. Personally, I wouldn’t make a music video like Marina Satti’s, from an aesthetic point of view.”
Regarding trap music, Giorgos Theofanous answered: “Children may often think that they are rebelling through trap, but you don’t rebel through swearing. Mixing pop singers with trappers is for commercial reasons only, ask Remo and Vandy. It saddens me because great singers collaborate with trappers and at the same time cover Plessa or Katsaros. In their panic they do not know who is selling and to whom they are addressing. Singers who work with trappers I don’t think will be proud, but it will be forgotten when they make a good song.”
Giorgos Theofanous also mentioned: “I can’t go out at night soaked and have the demand to be taken seriously if I decide to sing an artistic song. Herodius should signify something, it is not for all of us. I was sad to see Antonis Remo in Herodion with Michael Bolton because he only had to sing 4 songs from his repertoire. Should Remos or Anna Vissi be ashamed of the repertoire they have said?”
In closing, Giorgos Theofanous said regarding Natasa Theodoridou: “We don’t talk, we don’t have any contact and it saddens me because she is a great singer. Why should I call her? I did last time. There is no reason to have a relationship with everyone.”
