CYPRUS 2013 - Despina Olympiou - An me thimase

[stephanos13]

Another one year Cyprus leaving the best of the impressions.

 

[SRBIJA]

Excellent performance! I still cant believe that 3 countries that had (in my opinion ) worst performances tonight ( ) qualified over this. I just cant believe .

 

[Yamarus]

She failed to struck the last note. But otherwise it was a nice song, too many ballads I guess :-(.

I liked Despina. She was really nice and charismatic, she brought me in her world, but she was off-key some time, and taht must have not been liked by the juries. Plus it's very difficult to come alone on stage... I wish to see Despina again !

 

[GRE]

Sad about this result.But she did her best.Congratulations Despina.

That's what I was thinking while I was watching the performance. Too many ballads and ours was the last to be performed. People already heard enough ballads, so they got bored...

I think her style is not ESC-friendly. But in the past, before becoming mainstream, she used to sing traditional/ethnic songs. If she wants to come back, then it should be with such a song, because this kind of ballads usually fail. (She's got uptempo and pop-rock songs too, but I think uptempo doesn't fit her and pop-rock songs of her are a bit boring for ESC, although I like them).

Maybe she should've brought Stereo Mike with her on stage?

 

[Simon87]

She was great, you should be proud of her

Cyprus's song was unique and stood out of the rest, I'd rather say that stuff like Russia or Switzerland had these typical "forgettable" ballads, rather than Cyprus.

With the boy in undies ??? 3
Somehow it's disappoiting that the 2 lats qualifying of Cyprus is a Welsh guy and La La Love, and qualit is not awarded... I hope Cyprus will blow our minds in 2014 with Greek language again !

Sooooooooooo sad about this, Despina was lovely and everything looked great. The song was just too unremarkable and everyone saw this coming from miles away. Despina is a very warm person and loves her music much. She'll continue to achieve great things and hope that the outcome will effect her career in any shape or form. The people in the arena really liked the song and I think the juries liked it, too. Oh well, Cyprus will be back bigger and better in 2014.

Indeed, no matter if I like both songs (they were our best entries since 2005 IMO, along with 2007) one of them was performed by a guy who has nothing to do with Cyprus (at least the composer & lyricist were Cypriots though) and the other was a Greek-Swedish production. I hope we'll do well with a song 100% by Cypriots (composer, lyricist, performer).

I hope next year Valando will enter with a powerful ballad in Greek written by Michalis Hatzigiannis (as it was planned for this year).

Michalis

I was really enjoyed in that Cypriot 3 minutes and voted only for Despina.
Thank you Despina!

 

[ParadiseES]

Despina's performance was just amazing. The only problem from the beginning was the song. Better luck next year

 

[Stuff]

so the first time I liked an entry from Cyprus, it didnt qualify...

 

[PeterLPZ]

I´m really sad for Despina. She was great.

 

[Alberca]

She did a great job and the song was a very nice ESC ballad. My mother really liked it . So sad it didn't make it to the final... Stick to Greek please!

 

[cegs5]

She is one of the best singers this year, but unluckily her song was so unremarkable. I wanted Cyprus in the final but I understand that horrible cheesy songs like Ukraine or Belarus get more attention.

 

[debemaks]

What a great performance! What a pity for the result! Belgium and Belarus in with such weak performance and Cyprus out... unbelievable!

 

[Narmina]

I expected Despina to pass...But nevertheless good luck to her in future

 

[Nicholas123]

After her performance i expected her to qualify.I dunno, maybe too many ballads...

Nevertheless, a decent song, a very strong singer and, most of all, singing in her native language!

Better luck to Cyprus next year.
