Re: CYPRUS 2013 - Despina Olympiou
I'm dissapointed because Valando and Michalis are not going to Eurovision because of political reasons. and that makes me mad.
Despina Olimpiou is a good choice too and I hope for a good greek song .
I am disappointed for that too, it seems like we became the new Ukraine/Belarus where the president gets involved even in ESC. Well, his days are over (in a while). Although last year there were rumors that it was him who pushed the things to send Ivi, because her family was in "connections" with him or "supporters" of him (because both of her parents studied in Russia, and there were comments from far right-wing supporters that "he chose that half Bulgarian girl because she is communist like him" OMG
3) but I don't know if it's true, it might have some amount of truth, but anyway it was a good choice after all
But on the other hand, Despina Olympiou is one of our best female singers and I'm happy with the choice. It will be a Greek song anyway, that's what CyBC website stated already, it will be a ballad in Greek. I hope for a dramatic ballad, not a sleepy one or a boring one (in my mind come many things, and one of them is something like "Nebo", and please not!)
As for an uptempo modern laiko, oh dear, Despina Olympiou doesn't sing such songs, why she has to sing in ESC something like this?
