Re: CYPRUS 2014

My first wish is a folk ballad in Cypriot dialect. I've been wanting this for years. CyBC organizes that contest called Cypriot Song Composition Contest every year, why don't they pick the winner of this one for ESC? It would be a very good idea IMO. :cool:

Examples of songs that took part in that contest:

I think Cyprus must send a "traditional" Cypriot song such like these songs! Yes, Cyprus try it! I think the Europeans like this type of songs!

Re: CYPRUS 2014

yes it was. It's just the fucked-up unique semi-final system that killed the song :evil:

I wouldn't mind an electro-pop song in the same style with it, but definitely not in French. We have no connection to French language at all and very few people here can speak that language. :lol:

Re: CYPRUS 2014

so why did you send that song ? :lol:

but it was a really nice attempt, though xshrug

We didn't choose that song, it was internal selection. And it was interesting that we sent something in French, I like the song (although it's not among my top Cypriot entries). But there's no need to repeat something we already sent and failed. xshrug

Re: CYPRUS 2014

Cyprus could send anything actually, from something really modern to something folk, we have both the composers and the artists to perform any song, but I don't know if they are all interested :lol:

For example, for something contemporary, we have Christos Stylianou

Re: CYPRUS 2014

First of all i have to dell you something,its been on my mind so long....i have to dell you,its been on my mind way too long...
I am afraid that Cyprus will not be next year in Eurovision.
I wish for the opposite though.And not because of the 12 points.
Cypriot Girl,i was thinking the same.Something in your dialect.
Οr Nikolas Metaxas.
Or both. :D

Re: CYPRUS 2014

^ESC is too popular in Cyprus, we'll still find a way to participate I think...

If we'll have a ballad in Cypriot dialect, then not Nikolas Metaxas to sing it. Nikolas is a singer/songwriter & alternative rock singer, singing such a song will be "out of his waters" if such phrase exists in English. Loucas Yiorkas would be much better in this job ;)

My first choice is Valando with Michalis Xatzigiannis as a composer then Nikki Ponte or Eleftheria.

Re: CYPRUS 2014

First of all, I don't think Cyprus will withdraw. Although we're not in a good situation, as it was said, ESC is popular here.
I want and I'm sure that Valanto will represent us next year. Nikki Ponte could also represent us but I think Sony (her label) will probably go with Greece.

Re: CYPRUS 2014

Since 2006 I have loved all the Cypriot entries and it astounds me that you've only qualified twice in those eight contests! I do hope that you receive what you deserve in 2014 and onwards

xfacepalm

Be prepared for another Mylordou :? Although, because there are no talent shows now in Greece, some real talents might show up. But again, even if we pick the most talented one, it would be nothing if we don't have a good composer to compose the song.
