This episode happened while Ioanna Paliospyrou was on stage and would give artist Elena Paparizou the award for best ballad of the year, which at the time was in the VIP seats.
Konstantinos Argyros was also on stage to calm the spirits, while Paparizou left the event because he panicked. None of the artists took the stage, only the dancers, dancing to the song they were going to perform.
