Klavdia – “Asteromáta” (Greece Eurovision 2025)
Review: Klavida – “Asteromáta”
Lucy: I think Greece have been a little shy to send a big ballad in Greek for a while, given the lack of success in 2016 and 2018. They’ve taken the risk to bring it back in 2025, and thank goodness they have. “Asteromáta” is wonderful. It has the ethnic elements with a backing beat accompanying them you’d hear on the radio. Klavida’s vocals are obviously flawless, what an incredible performer! I just want to listen to this on a beach as the sun sets over the Med. It maybe gets a bit repetitive towards the end but I don’t mind, it’s just gorgeous.
Score: 8
Tomas: Klavdia has such a beautiful voice and “Asteromáta” is a wonderful ballad. However, I’m not as big of a fan of this entry as the rest will be. I hope the broadcaster makes changes to the performance. “Asteromáta” itself is a beautiful ballad in Greek that reminds me of their 2018 entry “Oniro Mou”.
Score: 4.5
Simon: Greece does best when sounding real Greek, and this is certainly the case with “Asteromáta”. Klavdia’s vocals sneak into your ears with a power and ease, and the subtle beat in the chorus makes you dream of the Aegean Sea and everything Greek. While beautifully executed, it needs the staging to match it, otherwise it could earn the same fate as “Oniro Mou” from 2018 and be overlooked in the semi. But my hopes for Greece are high this year.
Score: 8
Tom: Greece have again chosen a very traditional route this year, which I am very on board with. It feels like a Greek version of a “fado” song. It’s guttural, passionate and honest. To take it to the next level however, I feel the performance needs a bit more production to keep the audience hooked. With more interesting choreography, more accessible storytelling, I feel the performance will be elevated to greater heights — which I feel “Asteromáta” needs if it wants to get the result it deserves.
Score: 6
