The number "3" seems to be Evridiki's lucky number this year! 3rd time joining solo the ESC, 3rd in the running order, if you flip horizontally her new logo is a clear "3", she is joining again the ESC after 13 years since her last performance and ... her new album is called "13", the 13rd personal CD! Jinxy? Not at all !!! :-) |
