The third entry for ESC2012's first semifinal is Greece, Aphrodisiac by Eleftheria Eleftheriou.

It's a sexy, sleazy club dance number. Not a bad one, but not a great one. Lyrics are simple and not too clumsy. Eleftheriou is from the Greek half of Cyprus, which is politically interesting, but that's about it.

But there's also the elephant in the room. The video is just the performance from the selection contest with a studio recording overlaid. Greece is broke. Greece is broke enough they held their selection contest in a shopping mall.

I don't think we're going to see anything more interesting with the ESC live production.

It's not bad, but it's also not great.
