Greece was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1989 with the song "To diko sou asteri" (Το δικό σου αστέρι), composed by Yannis Kyris and Marianna Efstratiou, with lyrics by Villy Sanianu, and performed by Marianna herself. The Greek participating broadcaster, the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT), selected its entry through a national final.

National final
[edit]The Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) held the national final on 31 March 1989 at its television studios in Athens, hosted by Dafni Bokota. The songs were presented as video clips and the winning song was chosen by a panel of experts.
Mando later took legal action against ERT because one of the jury members didn't vote. She won the ruling, but since the process was too late to reverse the decision, Marianna went to Eurovision.[citation needed]
