This year Greece plays host to the Eurovision Song Contest, the world's most viewed and perhaps most talked-about musical event. Greek artists have graced the contest with their talents throughout the years. Nana Mouskouri represented Luxembourg in 1963 and Vicky Leandros claimed avictory for the principality in 1972. It was however, the victory of Helena Paparizou in Kyiv in 2005 which brought the event to the wonderful capital city of Athens for the first time.
