“He had given me a knife in the heart”, she says visibly disappointed.
To the journalist Marilou Pantazis and the magazine “Gala” Melina Conti spoke, referring to the reason she is called “Rouba girl” but also her almost participation in Eurovision, with Eleni Foureira's team in 2018.
Speaking initially about the nickname that has been given to her, the well-known dancer and actress noted that “ First of all, I worked with Sakis for many years but this label was stuck on me when I was his girlfriend in his video clip “ I was telling you” in 2018. Before, no one called me that, because all of his dancers were Sakis' girls. I was never a “Ruvitsa”, nor did I listen to much of his music before we started working together but now I am a fan. I love him, I admire him and I'm very happy for the years we worked together”.
Afterwards, Melina Conti stated that “The dream come true was to dance in tours, music videos , concerts, television, all the things I did in pop music. And I was with Eleni Foureira for many years as well, with Elena Paparizou and with Tamta. That is, I worked with pop singers”.
She even revealed that one of her dreams is to be on the Eurovision stage as a dancer, an opportunity she almost got in 2018, with Eleni Foureira's team . In particular he mentioned that “Unfortunately, I didn't go to Eurovision with any of them. There is nothing I could do in Greece as a dancer that I haven't done, except go to Eurovision. The year Eleni Foureira went, I worked with her at the Arena. He had told me, therefore, that he would definitely hire me to do vocals for her, because he knows that I sing. I've been taking voice lessons since the second year of high school. He had given me a stab in the heart, because unfortunately the entire shipment was from Sweden. If that hadn't happened, I would probably have danced at Eurovision as well”
