Soto you must be kidding me...i thought it was you that said somewhere that this song is good but not for this competition. Did not hear the other songs to be honest so I cannot judge if it was the best for Eurovision but at least is better that the last one we send. At least this one is in Greek...
Zan i do see similarities...its because is more like a musical style.
By the way Pantheman...Eudokia is a brilliant singer...I have heard her singing live and she is very good...but this song doesnt suits her that much I think. |

It doesn't sound at all like the musical Zan posted. And this is a Greek song so it represents Cyprus more than any English song. Maybe you don't listen to Greek music and maybe you don't speak Greek. But this is Cyprus not England. Get used to it and learn some things  |

Hey LENA, here is the link to the selection of songs on choice, not a very rich selection, but a selection nonetheleast. There is a Linkin Park wanna be near the end.

For this competition the best would be a song in Russian That would get the most points. But what we should do is to send a good song that represents Cyprus not just some stupid English song that maybe will get a few more points! |

Nai veveos then milao elinika, ego xero ta elinika mou boli kala.
(Yes of course I dont speak Greek, I know my Greek very well)
I went to Greek school in the UK for 5 years, attended Greek school in Cyprus for two years, mostly spoke Greek at home. I listen to Elena Papparizou, Anna Vissi and many other Greek singers. I don't live in England by the way and I know many things about Cyprus, most of which many do not.
But hey, if it makes you feel better to start insulting people and being racist go ahead. That's all that matters, but I guess most of the people in this thread agree with me, so I suppose your the one who is the odd one out. |

I didn't insult anybody. I only said that you are not used in this kinds of songs so thats why you don't like it. I think most Cypriots are sick of Cyprus sending foreign songs and this was an OK song and it is also in Greek so thats why it won. |

You suggested I don't speak Greek, you told me that this is not England, then you continued to tell me I I need to learn a few things. You have a funny way of not insulting people, making people feel like outsiders can in most cases be perceived as an insult. But I suppose you knew that.
You should also pay particular attention in the order you say things. You insulted me before saying anything about the releasing a Russian song for votes. |

Why I insulted you when I said that maybe you don't speak Greek? Not speaking Greek is insult? There are many English Cypriots who speak very bad Greek. I could also say that I was insulted when you said "who on earth voted for this cr*p". I didn't vote because never do but I thought this was the best song  |
