Natalia Germanou addresses Vissi and Karvelas dispute
Presenter Natalia Germanou addressed the ongoing dispute between artists Anna Vissi and Nikos Karvelas during her show ‘Kalýtera den Gínetai’. Germanou described her position as difficult due to her deep personal ties to both individuals; she is a close friend and godmother to Vissi, while also maintaining a long-standing professional and personal bond with Karvelas, whom she credits for teaching her songwriting.
To open her program, Germanou played the duet ‘Metra’ by Vissi and Karvelas, a song centered on conflict and separation. She used a lyric from the track, stating, ‘We are two countries at war,’ to characterize the current atmosphere between the two artists.
Germanou dismissed recent comparisons suggesting the two artists cannot exist without one another, asserting that both are talented, independent individuals. She concluded her remarks with an enigmatic note, suggesting that unexpected developments may occur in the coming days.
