Here's another video from Swedish-born Greek singer Helena Paparizou. The English version of this song, Mambo, is available from the US ITMS (ITS? They took music out of the title).
The first one is the original video. It starts out in English and finishes in Greek.
Helena Paparizou - Mambo (English/Greek)
The second one is the international version, done entirely in English.
Helena Paparizou - Mambo (English - International Version)
Which video do you like best? Do you like the song at all? Think she's got what it takes to break into the international market?

Do you know, the second video is better.. the first song is better. Too much Coke product placement in the first video, but damn when she starts singing in Greek, the song begins for real.
There should be an all-Greek version of this song. Helena is very beautiful!

I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

There is an all-Greek version of the song. It's not available in video format, though. (I have both the all-Greek and the all-English versions).

I think that song sounds a lot more nice in Greek. It didn't sound right in English for some reason. When the Greek part started, the song clicked.

Heh.
She did well in Eurovision. She placed first in 2005, for Greece. She's trying to break out internationally, into the (tougher IMHO) US market as well.
