Greece, in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010, selected the song "Opa" sung by Giorgos Alkaios & Friends as their entry, by a national selection on 12 March 2010. After an open call to record labels to submit proposals, Greece's national broadcaster Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) announced on 18 December 2009 the ten participants that would compete in the selection process. Despina Ricci dropped out of the final in January, while Katerine Avgoustakis was disqualified on 9 February, followed by Eleftheria Eleftheriou on 25 February, bringing the total number of entries to seven. The songs that each singer and ERT picked were first heard by the public through ERT's website on 26 February and presented through a televised show on 5 March 2010. ==Background== (詳細はEurovision Song Contest thirty times since its first entry in 1974, winning it in 2005 with the song "My Number One" performed by Elena Paparizou,〔 〕 and having placed third three times: in 2001 with the song "Die for You" performed by the duo Antique; in 2004 with "Shake It" performed by Sakis Rouvas; and the 2008 entry "Secret Combination" performed by Kalomoira. Following the introduction of semi-finals for the 2004 contest, Greece has had a top ten placing each year. The least successful result was in 1998 when with the song "Mia Krifi Evesthisia" by Thalassa placing twentieth, receiving only twelve points in total, all from Cyprus. The Greek national broadcaster, Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT), is in charge of Greece's participation each year, including the selection process for its entry.〔Paravantes, Maria.

Retrieved 16 January 2009.〕 Although its selection techniques have varied over the decades, the most common has been a national final in which various acts compete against each other with pre-selected songs, voted on by a jury, televoters, or both. In most cases, internal selections have been reserved for high-profile acts, with the song either being selected internally or with multiple songs —by one or multiple composers— performed by the artist during a televised final. One of the more unique methods was a reality television talent competition format inspired by the ''Idol'' series that ran for many months in 2004, ultimately being scrapped. The notability of the participants has also varied, from previously unsigned acts to established music superstars. Since the 2010s ERT has used national finals with generally less-established acts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
