CYPRUS 2013 - Despina Olympiou - An me thimase

[wyq614]

Seven pts for the song, and one additional point for performing in native Greek language! So eight points!

I don't know what to think of this song. I'm trying to like it, but sadly i do not...
Cyprus always has a soft spot in my heart, but i'm afraid that 2013 is just not Cyprus' year in ESC.
Despina is a great singer, i love her voice and i strongly believe that she will give her best in order to deliver a good vocal performance.
That being said, i think Cyprus' chances to qualify to the Grand Final are quite slim, but u never know...

With 15-16 countries in the semi-finals, Cyprus has many chances to qualify!

Like every other country in the same semi

I can already consider this song as an underrated entry

bit in the style of Filippa Azavedo a few years back. Very nice choise for Cyprus but I really miss Portugal already this year.

Exactly how I felt when I first listened to it! I liked Filipa too . I hope she does better than Filipa this year

Well Filipa at least qualified to the Final.
Will Despina manage it?

It will be hard, cause there's no Greece, but it could be.

I think this could manage to qualify, might even be a jury fave.

Can Greece save Cyprus?
12 points are kind of help,but only with 12 points you go nowhere.

Will it be a jury fave or will it be something like Finland or Belgium last year?

IMO, this has a much more "well-finished" feel to it than both of those songs. But who knows really, I'm horrible at predicting anyway

Indeed, people overestimate this. If others don't vote for it, then even with Greece in the same semi we would go nowhere...

 

[CPV4931]

She has a beautiful voice, but the song isn´t a real masterpiece.
It´s a realiable ballad, but to be honest I expected a bit more from Cyprus this year.
So 5 points from me.

Well this myth about the credits that Greece and Cyprus get each other from their 12 points,has to stop.
Its the same nation,separated in two.Its logical to support each other.
But NO-one said anything last year,when the sh*t of Georgia got 32 of their 35 points,from ex-ussr countries.No one else voted for it.
And it was only 10 points away from the qualify.

Neighbourly voting is a wide spread phenomenon common to every esc participant, not only Greece and Cyprus. It shouldn't be, it looks so bad. I know of viewers coming to ESC for the 1st time not wanting to watch it again because of this phoney voting. It's something everyone laughs at, thus not taking the contest seriously. It's unfair on the songs, on the singers and on the viewers.
And it's so boring really, being able to predict where the 12 points are going to, knowing that the song's quality was not an issue.

I thought juries were meant to minimize this, but they haven't, in any way. If anything, it got worse. I would get rid of them for good.

 

[CypriotGirl]

She says that in ESC most probably she will be alone in stage. I don't know if this is good or bad. Lisa Andreas was alone on stage too and came 5th. But this doesn't work in every occasion...

can you back that up with data? The stats do not agree with your statement.

In the case of Lisa Andreas the song was 100 times better that this year's
