Poor Eleftheria! Since semifinals just give a "pass/don't pass" result, wouldn't it be more fun to get them both in the final and see which one ends on top of the other?
But if Cyprus makes it through to the final and Greece doesn't, that already answers our question!
It would definitely be interesting to see if the Greek diaspora could translate into Cypriot diaspora. I think Ivi is going to need a good vocal (and Eleftheria a poor vocal) for this to happen though.

Why the books Ivi, why? I am curious to see where they will go with this concept. I am also not sure I like the hand motions in the choreography, some of them seem too over the top. I hope one of the surprises they are holding back is something big to happen in the stage show. I kept waiting for something pivotal to happen, especially during the break of the song. Hopefully they pull it together until the SF.

i hate the books, they look ridiculous. as for the choreo, i didnt like it the first time but i watched a few more videos and it has some nice elements, like the heart formation. if they change the graphics and add some fire and light movement i think it could be great.

I love how a lot of members were saying that Greece and Cyprus are different style songs and have a different audience and wont hurt each other. But now some of the same members are hoping Greece doesn't make it so Cyprus can get the points. :lol: Calm down everyone! They can still both do fine even if they both make it! The only thing that matters is that they have a good performance. Need I remind everyone of 2004 when Greece and Cyprus both passed the same semi-final and then got 3rd and 5th place respectably in the final?

Maybe it will tie together better with the costumes. I think they should have used the concept from the music video though (Fairytale/mythical) since they pushed it so much. For example have the desk/bench be themed to something out of the forest.

Why everybody speaks about the books? Everywhere they speak about the books! I got it that is like it's a baroque style in the background, and the books add to that. They are holding back some surprises, and maybe this has to do with the books...

And about Aphrodisiac, even if Cyprus sent that song, I'd still wish it to stay in the semi-final, I hope this answers some questions above...

is it too much to hope then that greece will stay out of the final?! :shock:x???xshiftyxwhistlexshifty

And how would that help Cyprus.....???I am getting a little slow I guess over the years and maybe I dont get yr point.......

And one more thing!When previously it was mentioned abt greek diaspora (it is a word that i hv never understood to be honest because noone has proven so far to me what they mean by saying 'greek diaspora') could u also clarify what u mean....?

Because it seems out of place in such a song. What is she, a librarian? :p Like I said in my previous post, maybe it will tie together with the costumes and surprises they are holding back. As it is now it seemed very random. I REALLY hope they are holding something back, watching over the rehearsal again reaffirms my previous thoughts of waiting for the pivotal moment in the stage act that never came.

And about Aphrodisiac, even if Cyprus sent that song, I'd still wish it to stay in the semi-final, I hope this answers some questions above...

That's fine, but many are commenting that they hope that Greece wont pass the SF so that Cyprus can get the points instead. That a whole different thing. You yourself quoted someone who said that and added a "praying" icon endorsing that view. I don't mean to call you out, but it is a tad hypocritical to think that Cyprus will benefit from Greece not passing the SF, when many (including yourself) campaigned for months that both songs are different and won't hurt each other. Again, just calling it as I see it. No malice intended. :cool:

This looks great, they really took notice of Ivi's strengths and played them up.

She's not the best dancer so they didn't give her much to do but what she does do looks very effective.
Vocals sound good too. Hopefully she makes it to the final!

I believe that the surprises they are holding back have to do with these books!

true..this is the only logical explanation

isnt there any gossip info abt it....?

the more i think abt it though,the more i beleive that the presentation will have to do something with a school girl,that she studies on her desk or something like that and then she gets to think of her la la love......
