Everyone knows the name of Despina’s little son – Giorgos – but the reason why he hasn’t been baptised yet, is still unknown. Why has the ceremony been delayed this much?

Despina and husband Demis Nikolaidis had the ceremony arranged for summertime, but due to her profissional commitments, her 2009 summer tour, this was again not possible. Despina and her collaborators had initially programed a specific number of concerts that however was increased due to the success of the tour since it exceeded everyone’s expectations.

The christening was set to happen right after her last concert, but more came along and she ended up going to Thessaloniki in Winter for her live performances at Politeia. The shows ended finally on January 23rd, although her manager wanted to expand them due to the huge success it showed to be.

After returning to Athens, Despina accepted a lot of new work offers, which means she should start performing anytime soon around Easter time or even Summer, but she had stated that this time nothing will keep her from baptising her son, that becomes 3 years old on August 23rd.

One of the last projects she accepted was not to sing in any nightclub but yes to be the face of the new Oriflame campaign, the cosmetics company. She was asked to try the products and then tell if she would accept to be part of the project what ended being a yes. I added a few photos from this even just a few days ago.

Well I hope this turns to be a great year for her, with lots of new projects, we could really get some new music and of course that she finally manages to baptise her son.

On next March 14th Despina will be at Natalia Germanou’s “Chart Show”, an emission that has as subject the best Greek singers of the last 50 years, with Despina being among the first 5! Despina is set to sing some of her old sucesses and classically present her new upcoming song for the first time ever!!

I could swear this is going to happen on March 7th, not 14th but I got this new from a Greek online newspaper so I am not sure if it’s reliable or not. Who lives in Greece can know this better than me.

After her last concerts in Ksanthi, for the city’s Carnival events, Despina was seen at the premiere of the movie “Ama De Se Thelei”, directed by Vasilis Nemea and staring her good friend Kleon Grigoriadis.
At the same time, Despina is in negotiations for some summer concerts in the nightclub “Thalassa” in Glyfada.

Despite all of this she still finds time to do some exercise with her personal trainer in a well known gym in Maroussi where she does mostly pilates.

I found this video while browsing on youtube for Laura Pausini, the Italian singer, of who I’m a big fan as well, and I noticed this song has the same melody as Despina’s upcoming song. It’s called “Destinazione Paradiso” and means something like “Destination Paradise”. You can hear it for yourself on this video.

So, is Despina’s doing a cover of this song in Greek? What do you guys think?

Despina was spotted in Cyprus last week for some concerts. She arrived Larnax’s airport on last Friday, around midday wearing a pretty flowered green dresse and a white long coat. I could only find 3 photos, enjoy!

More photos from Oriflame, still in Cyprus.

I found a longer video with a preview of Despina’s new song! Sounds amazing, I can’t wait to hear!

While browsing on youtube I found (finally) Discovery Channel’s documentary on Despina and her husband Demis Nikolaidis. You can watch it above, the embed youtube video. I am also going to make captures and add it to our own video archive. The video is spoken in English but has Greek subtitles. Full credit goes to Despina Vandi Forum Uk.

It’s an interesting video that every fan will definitely enjoy watching! Screencaptures have been added.
