Elena Paparizou - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (891 words)
Elena's artistic talents and eagerness to excel became apparent very early, and she was soon involved in singing, dancing and acting.
Elena speaks fluent Greek, Swedish and English (and has also studied French), and has mentioned that her dream would be to make a song whose lyrics were made up of words in every language in the world.
Coincidently, Elena Paparizou was born in Sweden where the name 'Helena' exists, and one could presume with little uncertainty that many Swedes mis-took her name as 'Helena' (due to the likeness of the sounds of 'Elena' and 'Helena' when spoken).
