Evi Droutsa on Akyla: "Everyone will say 'the clown has arrived'"

Lyricist Evi Droutsa commented on the Greek Eurovision National Final on the ANT1 show "To Prwino", expressing her joy for Akyla's victory, who dedicated his song to his mother. However, she expressed concerns about his presentation abroad, stating that his appearance might provoke negative reactions and be considered inappropriate. She believes the emphasis should be on the song and not the appearance, suggesting he create his own space to freely express his art. Droutsa had previously sparked discussion with her statements about Marseaux.
