Greece’s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 was "Everything" performed by Anna Vissi. The Greek national broadcaster, Ellinikí Radiofonía Tileórasi (ERT) selected the performer internally, choosing Anna Vissi to represent the country in the contest which took place in Athens. The song "Everything", composed by Nikos Karvelas and written by Anna Vissi herself, was selected on March 14, 2006 by a combination of a public telephone/SMS vote (60%) and expert jury (40%). Choreography for the final was done by Mia Michaels.
Anna Vissi was born in Larnaca, Cyprus, but moved to Greece at the age of 16 to pursue a singing career. She had previously participated in the Eurovision Song Contest twice, for Greece in 1980, and for Cyprus in 1982. She had also entered pre-selections for the contests of 1986 and 1989 (for Cyprus and Greece respectively), finishing runner-up both times. Vissi also had a long and successful domestic and international singing career, with several chart albums and hits, whilst collaborating with her former husband Nikos Karvelas.
Although considered a favorite, a ninth place finish with 128 points was all Vissi could manage. Of all the songs in the top twelve, only her entry and the one of Mihai Trăistariu of Romania had not needed to go through the semi-final and had qualified automatically.
