Oh, trust me, I will not miss either one if they don't release stuff. I was just pointing out how Sony Music were picking many girls doing the same thing. Although it's pretty obvious they signed Nikki at the time (during X Factor! how fair is that?) because Queen Ivi declined participating in the Eurovision selection. I thought Nikki was horrible on XF despite being praised all the time - especially uptempo stuff which she could never sing in tune. I love how XF' favorite girls in the last seasons were ones who will hardly ever sing without playback ever again. I thought it was supposed to be about singing. I heard Ivi singing live a couple times since the XF, and she actually became much worse singer, because nobody is working on her singing with her, while she had singing teachers on the XF.Nick_Man έγραψε:shi_os έγραψε:I love how Sony Music teaches everyone to share and everyone are having the same songs to choose from. By the time Elena works on getting more songs for the next album she will be sharing songs with Nikki Ponte, I guess. Poor Eleftheria Eleftheriou and Valandw - nothing left for them. Does anyone know if they record anything or does Sony only focus on Ivi/Nikki?
I don't think Nikki Ponte will release anything on her own, I can see her only stick to collaborations with Dimension X, Claydee, Playmen etc.
Valando is terrible. I don't know how she won Greek Idol (ofc I know, she was cypriot). She said on twitter once that she will release her first single on september, but I can see only releasing an EP just to end the contract with her. She doesn't have anything special, she will disappear very soon.
As for Valandw, I think she has a beautiful voice but is very boring. While I generally agree with the Cyprus thing, it is worth pointing out Greek Idol 1 was AWFUL and she actually was the best singer there, even if really uninteresting. I completely agree with your assessment on her releasing an EP just so they can fulfill the contract and drop her. I thought it was very sad that a year after winning the XF she had nothing of her own to sing on the GI finale.
But it's not like any of the other talent show winners who ended up with Sony did any better....
(oh yeah. All of them were Cypriot too).
