I really have mixed feelings about Helena Paparizou. First off all, this english language cd is pretty good. It contains english versions of many of her Greek songs, such as "mambo, "Gigalo" and "Let me let go". Her Euro vision single,"My number One" is not included here. But it's influence is heard on several tracks including the standout,"Heroes". Also worth mentioning is the Rock driven power ballas, "Teardrops".
I like Helena Paparizou and her music. But I dont love it. Although she is a Swedish born Greek, i prefer her songs in English. Her Greek songs to me are not that special. Although she is very popular in Greece. She's huge. And I know I'm not in the monority when I say this, She was much better in her band ANTIQUE.
While 'Yparhei Logos' was terrific, Elena really shines in this album. Every song on this cd is worth listening to, each for a different reason. I was never one of those Greek vs. English supporters. Some people claim all her songs are better in one language versus the other. That's just silly. For example, "You Set My Heart On Fire" is an English version of "Typseis," but I prefer the English version a lot more. The same goes for "The Game of Love," in which the English lyrics flow better with the chorus. If I had to choose my favorite Elena album, this would be it.
