Re: GREECE 2012
I thought Tsalikis was in Sony. A lot of changes in record companies recently, they confused me a lot...
I don't care if every now and then a Cypriot represents Greece (and I always support them), but if it's so often is annoying. As I didn't have a big feeling that Annet Artani and Jon Lillygreen & The Islanders were actually Cypriot representatives, although I loved our song in 2009 (at least the composer and lyricist were Cypriots both times).
What's wrong if the composer of a song is not a native, though? It's actually the same thing. Alex Papaconstantinou is the major composer of La La Love, and he's Greek-Swedish, and composed songs for many Greek and Cypriot artists. Some of his songs are big hits in Greece, like "Break Me" of Nicko, and he also composed "To Mystiko Mou Na Vris" for Ivi, and many songs for Helena Paparizou and others. And he composed "Yassou Maria" too. Since Cyprus shares the same music industry with Greece, there's no need to complain. It's like we borrowed a Greek composer this year, because most of his songs are written for Greek artists. We did this only this year. Check our previews years, and see that every year we were sending a song composed by a Cypriot, except 2007(Comme ci comme ça had Greek composer & lyricist). Other countries send a foreign production every year...
