Natalia Germanou said her own goodbye to Marinella, who passed away yesterday at the age of 88, today, Sunday, through the show “Better is not possible”.
“I think we chose the most beautiful song to say goodbye to this wonderful creature in our turn. This song was written by Stamatis Kraounakis for the series “Then came the bees” and his words describe Marinella perfectly.
Marinella did indeed swallow a spotlight as soon as she was born and its light followed her throughout her life. Some will say that that spotlight went out that night on stage, which was her last night singing live in front of a crowd.
I will say that it will never go out, because such bright people who carry with them such a huge dowry and bequeath it to us over the years, the years to come, do not fade away, are not forgotten… Such huge voices are not silenced. And this voice will not be silenced!
We bid her farewell, wish her a safe journey to heaven… Very lucky all those up there, who will be accompanied by this wonderful voice.
She has rested, I will say… Warm condolences to her daughter, Georgina, and to her own people of course… She fought her battle, an unequal battle of course, it was not a fair battle, but she rested, she is better now,” Natalia Germanou said.
