Danae Barka got into the rhythms of "X Factor"! She met Mariza Rizou, who will sit in the judge's chair of the most influential music talent show, which premieres on MEGA on Friday 18 March at 22:10.
The beloved singer talked about her decision to participate in "X Factor" and her place on the jury: "Now a very specific part of me is exposed, which has to do with my work, my music and my general temperament. I've long had it in my mind that I wanted to do something similar. I like that my own influences will be heard. I had been propositioned five or six other times and now I felt like this was the time. It's nice not to have any attachments."
About the other "X Factor" judges, Michalis Quinelis, Christos Mastora, Stelios Rocco, he commented: "With Stelios Rocco we are the most different. Stelios is a bombshell. We disagree visually and when we talk to children we disagree. Still, there is a lot of mutual respect. Our Christ is amazing, a great singer. Christos Mastoras and I are like cousins. Like aura and temperamentally we have something in common."
As for which judge is more strict, he noted: "Stelios Rocco is very strict, especially with the word 'rock', and Michalis Quinelis is the teaser, he is 'pan sweet' and not so strict. I'm kind of strict, but I think the way you say something is very important." She also added: "On 'X Factor' I'm looking for a world that will move me, that I will connect with and want to see him or her on stage."
Regarding her choice to pursue music, Marisa Rizou said: "I don't know if music has moved me in my views, because I don't know what my life would be like otherwise. From a young age I said I couldn't think of myself at all in a job where I would go every day and be in an office, it wouldn't be the life that would make me happy. I've worked in advertising, in publishing and went carpeting, I didn't like it." As for her rousing live shows, she said: "I'm finally enjoying the live shows more. I'm very happy and grateful because I have great collaborators."
Marisa Rizou spoke to Danae Barca about the difficult psychological period she went through: "I write more when I'm sad. When I am happy I don't care about anything. Even my happy ones I have written after the joy is gone. I used to have a terrible denial of anything black. The last two years have been very bad. I wasn't in a good place psychologically. I think it was one of the most helpful things that happened, like when I had calluses on my vocal cords."
She also described her character: "Growing up and doing psychotherapy, I realized that it's really nice to be more open. Seriousness doesn't affect me at all, it hurts my being. Seriousness concerns me too much. Ten years ago when I started, I was told by the labels for my live shows, "Don't make jokes, don't make jokes, they won't take you for a serious art singer." I like people to be free and tell the truth."
Still, Marisa Rizou stressed about her relationship with social media that "I don't care if everyone sees how much fun I have with my friends" and that "on purpose many times and consciously when I go for coffee or a walk I don't take my cell phone because I want to be present." She also revealed that her dream is to sing with Michael Boublé.
Of course, Marisa Rizou, has written the song "Go Beyond," which is featured in the credits of the show "Let's Go Danae!" "I am very proud to have written the song of the show!"
