2004 – The Year of Eurovision. Everyone is dancing to the beat of “Shake It”, which is heard for the first time on the radio in mid-March. At the end of the month, Sakis rouses the audience by performing “Shake It” live for the first time at the third Arion Awards. The same night, he wins his second Pop Singer award for the album “To Chrono Stamatao”. In mid-April, the CD single “Shake It” is released and the Greek Eurovision contingent immediately begins touring. Lots of travel, many shows and tons of optimism! On 18 May, Sakis finishes third place at Eurovision 2004 in Konstantinoupoli, but everyone considers him the real winner. This was also evident by his reception at the first Mad Video Music Awards a month later where he sang “Shake It” and the audience went wild. The same night, he wins the Sexiest Appearance award for the video “Pes Tis” (“Tell Her”) whose director, Xavier Gens, wins Best Direction for the same video. Sakis, of course, could not be left out of the huge organisation of the Olympic Games. He participates in the torch relay that takes place in the centre of Athens and performs at the Closing Ceremony along with the biggest names in Greek song. Sakis arrives in the centre of the Olympic Stadium by air and gives an exceptional performance of “Karapiperim”. The same year, he also does a duet of “Se Thelo San Trelos” (“I Want You Like Crazy”) with the famous Russian singer, Philip Kirkorov, in Greek and Russian. The CD single is a huge hit in Russia and is supported by a video of the same name that was filmed in Saint Petersburg.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2009 will be the 54th Eurovision Song Contest, scheduled to take place between the 12 May and 16 May 2009. It will be held in Russia following its victory in the 2008 contest in Belgrade, Serbia with Dima Bilan's "Believe".

Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister of Russia, has stated that the contest will be held in Moscow. Final confirmation of the host venue by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has not yet occurred. It has been proposed by the host broadcaster, Channel One Russia, that the contest be held in the Olimpiisky Indoor Arena within Moscow. Music journalist, Artur Gasparyan, has stated that there are currently no venues suitable for holding the contest in Moscow. It is planned that there will be 10 million euros worth of renovation work to the Olimpiisky Indoor Arena to allow it to hold the contest final on 16 May 2009 with 25,000 attendees, including over 2,000 journalists. This proposal is currently being evaluated by the EBU.

The Eurovision Song Contest (French: Concours Eurovision de la Chanson) is an annual competition held among active member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

Each member country submits a song to be performed on live television and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. Each country participates via one of their national EBU-member television stations, whose task it is to select a singer and a song to represent their country in the international competition.

The Contest has been broadcast every year since its inauguration in 1956 and is one of the longest-running television programmes in the world. It is also one of the most-watched non-sporting events in the world, with audience figures having been quoted in recent years as anything between 100 million and 600 million internationally. Eurovision has also been broadcast outside Europe to such places as Australia, Canada, Mexico, Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Jordan, New Zealand, South Africa, South Korea, Vietnam, and the United States, despite the fact that these countries do not compete. Since the year 2000, the Contest has also been broadcast over the Internet, with more than 74,000 people in almost 140 countries having watched the 2006 edition online.
