 !! OPA !! October 12, 2004

What is Greece offering next to the world? After successfully hosting the Olympic Games and mesmerizing the world with the opening ceremony show, the follow-up comes in the form of a greek goddess of pop, Despina Vandi. A double CD entitled "Gia" which was also the title track to catapult her into the international scene. 24 songs in total ranging from pure pop, to beautiful ballads to soft rock, as well as her signature hip-shaking oriental beats. The music and atmosphere of the cd really stands out from anything out there in the market. There are only two english songs on the album, Gia and Opa Opa(which is the 2nd single), the rest are all greek. However, the real essence of the songs are captured in the music which are masterpieces all penned by Greece's no.1 hitmaker, Phoebus. In other words, you dont need to be greek to enjoy this CD. I dont speak or understand a word of spanish, but i still go out and buy every cd that Juanes puts out (which I think are amazing). So if u r looking for something different, with more heart and humaneness, then this goddess from the meditteranean is your answer!
Favourite songs: 'Gia' (Hi), 'Opa Opa', 'Lathos anthropos' (Wrong Person), 'Thelo na se do' (I wanna see you), 'Olo lipis' (You're always away), 'Ola odighoun se sena' (everything leads to you), 'Anavis foties' (firestarter), 'Deste mou ta matia' (blindfold me), 'Marameno' (withered) and my alltime favourite 'Ela' (Come).

god bless despina vandi and her vocals. if you love world music, this is your singer right here. released singles were "GIA" and "OPA OPA" but few more songs were also worthy of being released world wide but didn't happen. really the cd is more than a dance album like perhaps many expected of this album:an all dance album..It's a good mixture of dance hits along with ballads and good pop and a more traditional sound...its a double cd filled with great Greek music...and i have favorites which perhaps are the favs. of many others:
1-Opa Opa
2-Gia
3-I Melodia Tis Monaksias
4-Lathos Anthropos
5-Ti Kano Moni Mou
6-Ah Kardoula Mou
7-Simera
8-Kommatia
9-Deste Mou Ta Matia
10-Ela
11-Olo Lipis
its an overall great 2CD album worth the dime to own.
World Class Greek Trance-Dance Pop perfection!!! April 3, 2005

Man, am I glad I 'discovered' this artist! This flirtatious young lady selling Greek music at our annual Greek Church festival enthusiastically recommended this CD. Despina Vandi is a beautiful, versatile vocal powerhouse that can belt it out with the best of world class divas! This is a very tasty, well arranged and produced CD with catchy, original songs. She also showcases her great vocal range on some of the more traditional and slower Greek songs. After listening to this CD, all I can say is I definitely WANT MORE!!! If you're into great contemporary Greek music, this should be in your collection. Despina Vandi is without a doubt, a 'breath of fresh air' and an asset to Greece's music scene.

Until Friday afternoon I'd never heard of Despina Vandi. I noticed her cd when I was searching for the new T.A.T.U. cd. What caught my eyes was the sticker on the front of the cd that said something like: Greece's #1 popstar.
I love buying cds from people that I've never heard of and don't sing in english. I get this weird rush when I push play and listen to someone new for the first time.
Despina Vandi did not dissapoint. It was like a breath of fresh air listening to Gia. I don't speak whatever language she sings in and so I have no idea what she is singing about, but it doesn't matter. The songs are so 'catchy' that I don't need to.
If you're looking for something new, take a chance on Despina!
 This Greek Goddess Should Stick With The Traditional Songs February 9, 2006

Well there's a little bit of everything on this 2 CD set. Dance - Techno Pop - Romantic Ballad - Contemporary and Traditional. Some of it is excellent, some not so good. Despina is incredible on the traditional and romantic material, however when she speeds up the tempo for the dance and techno tracks her voice suffers considerably.
If you are going to buy just one Despina CD for your collection I'd look for a copy of her now OOP '10 Entoles.'
