Eleonora Zouganelis : "I will not join the Demons"

In her interview in the "Passepartout" insert of the "Investor" newspaper, Eleonora Zouganeli responds to the rumors that she wants to participate in the musical "Demons" that Anna Vissi is going to stage again, next spring.

"This is not true. I will not participate in the Demons" clearly answers Eleonora Zouganelis to a related question, explaining: "It was an offer made to me "in the air", almost not done. That is, I have not refused, but I wouldn't do the musical, because I'm on a different path. It wouldn't stick right now. I'm already doing a lot as a singer and I wouldn't want to mess with something so different.".

In fact, he added: "If I ever did a musical, it would be something new. Not the "Demons", but not "Chicago".  I would prefer something combined, a show around a performer that contains both song and prose. But not now. Now I'm in the phase of preparing a record".

"Alonso, the best of the decade"

Flavio Briatore's weakness towards Fernando Alonso is known and once again the Italian businessman "knitted" the pilot's praise.

In fact, the former Renault boss emphasized that the two-time world champion is the best driver of the last decade.

"Fernando Alonso is the best driver of the last decade. At times he can make strategy mistakes, however, he is then able to recover, even if the car is not competitive enough", were Briatore's words.

The former Formula 1 strongman 1, he couldn't help but mention the teams and what's going on in the Formula One championship 1.

"I don't think Red Bull is sluggish. However, there's Lotus and Sauber and that proves that money doesn't make a difference. McLaren is competitive and can steal quite a few points from Alonso. Ferrari needs improvements and Alonso needs to win at least one more race, without McLaren getting points ».

Alonso has won two world titles in the last decade (2005, 2006), has finished third the 2007, while the 2010 placed second.
