It is worth noting that all the candidates belong to the staff of Universal Music Greece, which has taken over the costs for the participation of the Greek delegation in the competition.

Before the announcement of the results, the nominations of Cyprus were presented, who participates in the competition with Ivi Adamou, of France, represented by the Indonesian-born Anggun, but also of Bulgaria, with Sofi Marinova.
