I'm a fan since 1997-1998. I never stop listening to her since then and I always buy her albums.
Back in the late 90s and up to mid 00s she used to be a huge star here in Greece with gold records, high TV ratings with her soap operas and she even visited Athens. She was even more popular than our local stars.
