As a Greek fan of Anna Vissi there are no many comments I have to make on her voice and personality all these years she is No1 here in Greece.This woman has offered me terrific feelings through her songs and her outstanding performances."Antidoto" ("Antidote") is the peak of her performing strength I could say.It is a mix of love ballads which make you shiver and Mediterranean sounds which have the power to entertain you in such a beautiful way... I believe that she deserves a greater career than that she already has here in Greece.Her abilities are huge and she can manage creating an international career in a very interesting way.Her latest international release "Everything I am" is an example of what Anna's voice can do...Listen to "Kick the habit","No more the fool","After you" or "Forgive me this" and you will easily believe that she is a great performer who belongs not only to Greece.She belongs to the whole world and I hope that she will be supported to have the opportunity to show her outstanding performing abilities to all of you...

Emotional... & at times depressing. Anna always has the tendancy to start something new and different. The album contains some "Zeibekika & Stong Ballads" among other styles. Her Duet "Magava Toute" is fun while the title song & "Erotenmenaki" unforgettable ...
Highlights, "Mou Anikis", "Na Ton Aghapas" & "Pali Yia Sena".
This is great Greek music!

This is an outstanding CD. I am a professional belly dancer and am always looking for new music. I came across this CD in a search and my troupe is currently working a 4 piece routine to 3 of Anna Vissi songs and will be performing it later this year at Rakkasah and belly dance competitions. She has an incredible talent. I would definitely recommend this CD for listening pleasure or dance pleasure.

she has a wonderful voice, but i think she has the power to do more...i'm waiting for her first english album, should be released at the end of this century, well, if i can believe to all that rumours, let's wait and see!

This CD seems to capture Anna at the height of her expressive career, with a perfect blend of music and lyrics. Later albums don't quite capture the bold experimental sounds and passion of this album, so I'd recommend it as a first (with Travma) for anyone not familiar with Anna Vissi's music. Personally, I prefer modern treatments of traditional Greek musical idioms, and to me this does just that, but has an emotional and soulful content that almost explodes from the CD. Antidoto is stunning and a bit chilling in its intense sensibilities and expression, Denomai is incredibly gripping, the light-hearted Tilefonaki has one of the most amazing clarinet solos on CD, Mou Anikes is so pathetic it drives in the significance and impact ancient tragedy must have had, the favorite S'exo Epithimisei is multilayered thrilling and vivifying and makes you want to dance, listening to the thoughts in Methismeni Mou Kardia makes me feel like I may need a visit to the ER if it lasts too long, and Na Ton Agapas is a beautifully mature ballad and soulful rendition of resigned love. Seeing Anna in Boston, I was sure I was in the incarnate presence of Venus of Cyprus (the lighting helped a bit). But to hear her belt out incredibly complex vocal ornamentations at the same time she was greeting her fans from the stage was a revelation. If only American contemporary music could really hear what her artistry has to say and offer...

I was fortunate enough to happen across Anna Vissi on another CD I purchased of a mix of international music from around the world. This CD had Antidoto on it and I immediately fell in love with her voice and the music. This prompted me to purchase the CD of the same name. I'm hooked. She's got that smoky sexy voice and I love the way she mixes traditional music with current sounds. I am definitely going to buy more of her CDs. What a great find!! If you love Mediterranean styles of music, you must buy this CD.

Anna Vissi is perhaps the most popular and beloved artist in Greece right now. Her vocal abilities are exceptional and her on-stage appearance simply a beauty. Her latest CD "Antidoto" includes some of the best examples of her great talent and her ability to compete with other big divas of the 20th and 21st century. I love this woman and the CD as well. What you listen and see of her is what you get. She is real, she is beautiful, she is sexy...she is one of the best singers in the history of modern Greek music. If you like to hear traditional Greek musical sounds and listen to a beautiful romantic/rock/folk/classic voice, then you must buy this CD. You won't regret it!

This is an excellent album and I highly recommend it. "Andidoto" has a unique sound and Anna's voice is entrancing. All the songs are great, I especially like "Gazi", "Yi Alla", and "Antidoto." I didn't think she could outdo "Travma" but she has!

i just saw her concert in n.y.c (at roseland) and it was amazing. Vissi's song touch every cell in my body. Her voice is amazing. She is an incredible performer and see Loves her fans. I can wait for her next album.

This is one of the best Greek music collections around today. Anna is VERY talented and has a wonderfull voice. I was lucky to have seen her live last year and it was a treat. Great selection of ballads, rock and dance tunes. Even if you dont speak greek you will LOVE this CD.
