The topic touched different aspects of his creative life and personality. The most complete answer Nikos gave to the question regarding the track # 14 from the CD (P**t*na stin psychi) " First I must say that I took this song not for to be known by people. I’ve recorded 4 albums, people have appreciated my songs, they know them, they are coming to the venue to listen to me and for five years there was no any need for me to approach the public. I don’t know if it is possible at all. But if it is so, maybe I should do something like that every time?

Last Friday, 25th of November, the highly anticipated premiere " Vandi-Economopouls-Kokkinou" took place at the night club "Fever"with a big success. So, what can we learn about how did this event go by reading the Internet? Cursory review of the articles from various sources creates the following picture: On Friday night the club was packed and the show lasted till 5. 30 Am., this was confirmed in all the reviews. The differences appeared in style and in the selection of facts. For example, a popular site Yupi.gr under "Celebrity life" calls their article: “Vandi- Kokkinou: how did the premiere go" where describes dresses of both divas and mentions the couple of their songs.
