At the final, held on 20 May 2006, Anna Vissi appeared on stage surrounded by a fog effect created by dry ice. She was alone on the large stage and wore an exclusive Jean Paul Gaultier black and white outfit with black leggings. By the end of the song, she was down on her knees singing. Her choreography for the final was arranged by Mia Michaels. Although considered a favorite, she finished in an honorable ninth position, making Greece only one of two countries that were automatically in the final that managed a top 10 position. She received 128 points, including the coveted "douze points" from Bulgaria and Cyprus. The ninth-place finish guaranteed Greece a place in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2007.
