However her song ended in 2nd and 4th place.  In 1965 the Netherlands selected her to  perform all the songs at the national selection. “Als Het Weer Lente Is”  was the song that was selected and thus it was performed in Napels, Italy. The song however did not capture the juries, and received zero points.

Yianna Terzi, 38

In 2018, the Greek broadcasters really wanted to showcase their origins in music. Yianna was picked out of twenty people to represent Greece. She therefore sang “Oneiro mou” in semi final one in Lisbon. Unfortunately for Greece, the song did not advance to the final.
