And how could he do otherwise. Since she is the Efi Thodi and that is why he counts so many years of folk song career.

Speaking in Sozi, which is being released, the beloved singer did not hesitate to speak openly not only about her personal issues, the exploitation she experienced by people she loved, but also the ingratitude of the presenters, her faith in God who has saved her, but also her point of view for EurovisionZari and the song she would enter the singing competition herself with if she was ever sent

– Mrs. Thodi, in what phase are we succeeding you professionally during this period?

“I am resting, but at the same time I am closing my appearances for the summer throughout Greece. At Easter I also released a CD on spotify with songs of joy and hope, but I’m also releasing others. I’m generally in a phase of happiness.”

-You are also active on social media, what do people say to you on Tik Tok and Instagram?

“What love I receive from the world is not said. Lots of love. Wherever I go, they come and hug me and say very nice words. I really like people showing me their love.”

-So what is the secret of your success?

“Only God knows this secret. But I want to say that I never pretended. I’m very simple, everyday and I don’t get carried away. I never said to myself “Who am I?” I never rode a reed, in my village we didn’t have reeds”

-?Have you received ingratitude from the presenters…

“Apapapapa, not even on my skin. Not even in my chest so much ingratitude. To give, to give and then to be spat on, to be forgotten by all these big names”.

– Does this make you sad?

“I’m over it and now I’m not going to sit down unless the TV plays me. TV is losing by not having me on it, not me. Let’s do a survey, a gallop and see if people want me. They don’t put the ones the world wants, but the ones they want themselves”

-For Marina Satti’s “Zari” you were right when you said that it will not be in the top ten of this year’s Eurovision…

“But that wasn’t a song. It had neither beginning nor end. It was a strange thing, a stupid thing, a cat-talk. They also put a cat in the video clip, from there you can understand how we would go. I said it from the beginning. I have so much experience and knowledge now that I can understand.”

-Why haven’t we seen Efi Thodis at Eurovision yet?

“Why are they making arrangements without the innkeeper? I would be positive to go to Eurovision, that’s my job. I love my country. I didn’t leave Greece, I live here because I love it. I had my chances to leave, but I didn’t.”

-What song would you like to go with?

“With ‘The goats entered the fold.’ Let the Vlachs and the choliades dance and let there be destruction.”

-Have you ever had a maniacal fan that freaked you out?

“For many years until I stopped from the centers, I had many fans, the truth is. One wanted to steal me, kidnap me. He was sitting drinking and looking at me. I remember at a festival he tried to dive me, but I was chased away. I went to the police and that’s how I was able to escape. However, I have experienced great loves, I was chased by all of Greece”.

-You didn’t want anyone?

“I don’t know why, all the shit happened to me. My companions were not good people, they were looking to get their hands on my money.”

-Do you believe in God?

“If I believe? I pray to Agios Fanourios and to all. Many times God saved my life and in Canada I went to last year, if I didn’t have His help, I wouldn’t have come back. My soul is given to Him.”

-What happened there?

“I got involved with people who were not good and went to harm my health, my money. It’s a long story. God is a power that listens to us.”
