Eurovision Song Contest
edit
Terzi was selected as one of the twenty shortlisted artists for the Ellinikos Telikos 2018 with the song "Oniro mou” on 27 October 2017, representing Panik Records.[2] Later, on 8 November, she became one of the five acts to be selected to move on to the televised final.[3] Following the disqualification of two of the five acts for not having a "Greek sound", "Oniro mou" entered the top three. On 15 February 2018, it was reported that the record labels for the two other competing artists refused to pay a € 20,000 fee to the Greek broadcaster Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) and were disqualified from the competition, leaving "Oniro mou" as the only song remaining and the default Greek entry.[4][5]
The song competed in the first semi-final, held on 8 May 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal but failed to qualify for the final.[6][7]
Music video
editThe music video for "Oniro Mou" was first presented in 8 March 2018, through a show called Eurovision 2018 - On the Way to Lisbon!, presented by the disqualified contestants from the Greek Final 2018, Duo Fina. There, Terzi and the composers of the song talked about it and she received wishes from former Greek Eurovision contestants.
