"Friday night was one of the most strange nights of my life. The ugliest, the most tragic one. Within seconds, my great joy and lust to get on stage and sing in front of my compatriots after 4 years, turned into an unexpected drama.", message for the loss of her close friend and collaborator.
"It’s their job to say things. Let them write whatever they want! (...) First of all, her name is now Eftalia. I re-baptised her. (...) Anna asked me to sing with her. At the beginning I was a bit cautious. How could I do such a thing in a vast place? That’s a chaos! They jump, they dance, there is a set on stage. But it went ok... She told me that she listened to some of my CDs and was impressed by my voice. She wanted this to be the surprise of the year, that we sing rebetiko together. Anna can sing rebetiko. She was a folk singer on the first place, so why wouldn’t she sing rebetiko?", Mario, on Alpha tv, for all the comments on her collaboration with Anna.
Comments
Should Anna sing songs by famous Greek composers at the Herodion for charity?
Should Anna take part at the Old Town Festival of Xanthi?
Should Anna talk so openly for sexual issues as she did in a famous tv show?
We are not going to discuss such issues here. All we are going to say is that, in 2009, after 36 consecutive years in the music industry, everybody still has something to say about Vissi, in order to share a part of the publicity that comes along with her name. Wherever she goes, whatever she does. And that’s phenomenal!

This leading single spreads a variation of reaction on television, in the press, to the general audience and even in the absolute fan club! Others call it provocative and others outstanding. Others love it and think its exceptional and other just find it cheap. For once again, an unstoppable fan-fight begins and without any conclusions at the end of the day. Even the outstanding futuristic video clip by Christine Crokos didn't manage to control the never ending discussions surrounding Anna's comeback.

The second project by Anna and Dave was their mutual performance at the first ceremony of the Balkan Music Awards hold in Sofia, Bulgaria, where Anna was awarded for her Contribution to Development and promotion of the music from the Balkans and the award for the Best Video on the Balkans for the song "Stin Pyra". Anna's and Dave's performance at the ceremony was the big surprise of the night since they didn't just premiere their duet but also performed a rendition of "Sweet Dreams", the worldwide hit song of Dave with Annie Lennox.
On Tuesday the 16th of February, two days after the celebration of love, Anna performs a slightly different show making an incredibly sensual entrance with her ballad "Pio Konta" at the "Vissi in Love" concert hold at Athinon Arena for Love Radio.
On the 3rd of April, after 7 long years the fans from Thessaloniki are more excited than ever since Anna is premiering her "Fabulous Show" there. Anna is crowned with success and a full "Pyli Aksiou Night Club" sings "Im fabulous!" for more than a month.
