Well, I think there are better songs in other 4 rounds. And about their lyrics - nope.
Well, she sent not only 1 song, so we will hear some more of her in other rounds
Hmm... and here I thought only Belarus and Ukraine were having selections where it actually PAID OFF to break the rules ... I guess I'll have to add Lithuania to that list now
What about Cyprus with that scandal in 2006?
Hmm what about it??
More or less, CyBC wanted Annet Artani to be picked, and after the televoting results, they invented a way to count the votes so that song to win. They counted the points of each district of Cyprus with the official 1-8, 10 and 12 points from each, and then they added the points of whole Cyprus, again with 1-8, 10 and 12. Votes of all Cyprus had the same weight with the points from tiny Famagusta district, how silly. The song "After You" of Valando Tryfonos came 1st but this song didn't win with that "method".
So those 'rules' got invented at the show and weren't official prior, didn't they count televotes the same then? What a pity, that entry sucked.
My favorite entry from Cyprus selection '06 was "Play That Melody to Me".
I have no idea who invented this rule and when, but it should have been done after the lines were closed and saw that the song they wanted didn't come 1st. I think it came 3rd overall. 2nd was the song "Congratulations" which was a good song but by the most annoying singer ever, Marios Tofi! I still remember him crying and calling out his mom when the results were announced! And his mom shouting "you'll pay for this you did to my baby"!
"Play That Melody to Me" was a good song, I'd prefer it over "Why Angels Cry", but it had to be fixed for ESC, it had an amateurish instrumentation and production! Oh, imagine Eleftheria that year going to ESC, everything would be different! 2
That year everybody wanted to go to ESC for a reason (yeah, Greece won in 2005, that's why)!
I see...
Well, I don't remember any other songs from that selection, but I know when I checked it all up that song (Eleftheria) was the one I liked the most (is it the same Eleftheria as in 2012??? )... but I totally agree it had to be revamped for ESC, but as a song I liked it.
Labas vakaras... It is Lithuanian thread, not Cypriot, shush about them!
