Despina's rehearsal
She looks and sounds wonderful IMO, only those lights a little distracted me in the end, but I guess it will be different on TV.
Well done, fingers crossed!

Nice, I just hope she won't overdo it in the end of the song with overscreaming.

I'm afraid so... but still I love this, she's great and who knows... Moldova has very strong and impressive presentation that is very characteristic and may steal the show from Cyprus. I'd love to see them both in the final (Aliona and Despina), but it will be tough I guess... still I'm very happy this is so classy and nice, no matter the final result. After all there is always hope... you never know what happens, maybe people who will be voting would like more the simplicity of Cyprus presentation.

I'm optimistic in a safe way, since I'm not so obsessed with our song this year (like last year
), I can see it qualifying but I wouldn't be devastated if it doesn't. IMO from this semi we deserve to go through without any doubt, but we don't always get we deserve. 
Moldova has a ballad too but it's different kind of ballad and the presentation will be different, both could qualify or fail, but Moldova has more chances to go through IMO.

She's wearing a Laskaris' dress...She's got taste... 
Very good rehearsal 4 Cyprus. Her voice is powerfull. Just don't overdo it in the end of the song.

I believe it would be enough, at last for that qualification (she really deserve it)

Forgot to say classy
I am not in agreement with the majority. Perhaps she is keeping her voice (which is wise), so to me it didn't sound as good. I know she can do much better! Other than that I liked the simplicity of it, the background, her stage presence and class!
And of-course, I prefer this over Moldova any time!

Good Luck Cyprus and Cyp.Girl.
I voted like an id*** for Ivi last year but this one is not my taste. Sorry!
But though, i hope for a final place for you. It's worse songs than this one, this year.

New interview with Despina from today ;D
Apparently she's having a good time in Malmoe
I didn't expect her to speak decent English with relatively good accent, I thought she didn't speak English at all
But actually she's got a typical Limassol-English accent. (IMO people from Limassol are the best among Cypriots in spontaneously speak both Greek and English without pretending that they speak another language, while that's not the case with other cities. I personaly find it hard to express myself orally in Greek without sounding like I speak a foreign language :|)
