I forgot to mention and I would like, once again, to please ask people to write in English only, and all entries must come in English (or Greek but with translation as well), otherwise I’m gonna have to ignore them. Thank you!

For the first time I am doing a birthday project for the site! If you never heard about it, a birthday project is something that became quite popular among websites, in which fans send in their birthday gifs and wishes and then we create a small section on the site to celebrate the birthday of our celeb, in this case Despina. It can be also sent directly to them, when we happen to have an official address.

So this year I thought we could have something similar. I already posted on the forum, those of you registered there can go and check out. To the others, here is what we’re gonna do:

I need you guys to send in you artwork, messages, videos, audios, anything you’d like to give Despina for her birthday. Just a few ideas of what you can send are:

A tribute video;
Graphics;
Drawings;
Poems, texts, messages;
Audios;
Other Videos (tribute, fan made, or a video of you saying happy birthday to her);

Everything must be emailed to me until July 19th. After it I will gather all the gifts and have them posted on the special section. Don’t forget to identify with your name, email, age and country.

We have a new layout, I hope you guys like it! I got tired of the previous one, it was too green and also it didn’t load properly on some browsers. Again, I recomment, Mozilla Firefox! All layouts are Mozilla compatible, and best viewed on it as well!

As you can see, several features have been added to the sidebars as well as a new interesting bar on the bottom of the page! It allows you to “like” our site and posts, twitt about it, post on facebook and there’s also a chat where you can speak to other visitors!

Like I promised, here is the first suprise for you! To celebrate the release of Despina’s album C’est La Vie, I thought in doing a couple of things to improve the site and captivate the fans and visitors. Unfortunately, and due to some internet problems I have been having all day, I won’t be able to reveal everything today, but I have finished the first!

I created us a forum/message boards/community whatever you wanna call. I know Despina has a couple of great forums, but these are all in Greek, and it bothers me because I know there’s people like me who would love to be active there but can’t due to language barriers. Our forum is still getting started, I need you to start registering if you’re interested and maybe we can build a small community of fans, make friends, talk Despina etc..

I hope you all like the design, I made it myself, took me hours to code but I am very happy with it! There’s barely any posts yet, that’s why I’m counting on you to register and start posting! I hope you see you guys in there!

I changed our gallery theme to one more appropriate in order to match the new Despina era! Let’s be honest, the past one was kinda hideous.

This one, I LOVE IT! I tested on both Firefox and Explorer and it looks fine! Comments are love, I hope everyone is pleased with it!

I just created a youtube channel to the site and I am currently uploading all Despina videos I have! I know the site has it’s own video archive, which is very similar to youtube, but I decided to create this account in order to expand the network and possibly gain more visitors.

This channel features not only Despina’s official music videos, as well as behind the scenes footage, interviews, and coming really soon some karaoke videos, lyric translations and even fan made videos by me!

You can now watch videos, subscribe or become friends with us!!!

Despina’s new album is scheduled to be released on next June 13th, this is official as far as I know, although there isn’t any tracklist available, possible names or covers.

This is great news, I cannot wait to hear her new material since it’s been almost 3 years since 10 Xronia Mazi was released. As soon as I have more information, you guys will be the first to know? Any ideas on a possible name, are the new songs be in the style of Koritsi Prama, pop, laika styles? Feel free to make your guesses!

Unfortunately and because I am getting a lot of spam on the gallery which I cannot control (everytime I log in there’s hundreds of users and comments to delete), I am closing the gallery for registrations, which means nobody can register from now on. The gallery is open for everyone to see, you don’t need to log in to see pictures, but if you really wish an account then you can reply to this topic or email me at contact[at]despinavandifan.org with your desired info and I’ll create your account. Thank you!

As you can see we have a new layout here at Despina Vandi Fan! I love it so much! I wanted something really simple, colorful and fresh, something ideal for Spring/Summer and I achieved it using pictures from Despina’s Oriflame promos. What do you think?

I have also update some pages, added new affiliates and updated the sidebar, so go ahead and check what’s new! Our gallery also has a matching new layout.

While randomly browsing on youtube for any new Despina material, I came across a lot of videos of her songs covered by many non Greek artists, mainly from Turkey, Romania, etc.. I thought it would be fun to create a section where I could post links to all covers and you guys can hear and give your opinions!

I personally consider all these a big fail, no disrespect to the artists but Despina is the queen, and the other versions are just boring. Anyway you can hear them all by clicking here! If you know of any others I didn’t add to my list, please let me know!

I only kinda liked the “Simera” version so I’m leaving the video here!
