The only song in Greek in the Cypriot national final gets the gold ticket to Belgrade. After five consecutive attempts in English and one in French, tonight the Cypriot public decided to send a song in Greek to Belgrade. Evdokia Kadi has won tonight's final and will represent Cyprus in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest.

 

Ballads and songs in English prevailed in the Cyrpiot final tonight. Evdokia Kadi was the third favourite of the nine member jury but she won the televote by a landslide receiving over two thousand votes more than the second song I can't be by Nikolas Metaxas . Her title may be in French but the song is a typically Greek "laiko" song. Evdokia is an experienced singer who performs in night clubs as well as with the CyBC orchestra.

 

This is the full result of the Cypriot final:

 

 

Femme Fatale - Evdokia Kadi 104 points

I can't be - Nikolas Metaxas 100 points

Rejection (Set me free) - Marlain Angelidou 84 points

Turning to you - Myria Pambori and Alexis Manison 56 points

This can't be love - Sofia Strati 54 points

Nikolas Metaxas- Butterfly 54 points

Moments of madness - Eleni Skarpari 34 points

Calling you - Constantinos Andronikou 34 points

Rescue me - Mirto Meletiou 32 points

If anyone can find an audio/video link I'd be greatful! :lol:

Here's the video. I'm still not sure what to make of it.

 

I don't like it :(

I don't like it :(

 

:( I'd read elsewhere that the song will be re-worked/arranged/mixed, but even that won't help. Cyprus will probably end up with no more than 12 points this year, and we know where those would come from.

 

^ will probobly end up like that :lol:

Fatal's the word... [/wogan]

It won't get 12 points from Greece, considering they're in seperate semi-finals most likely. I have to say it's not my favourite, but it will stand out, it's different it will have a unique performance, and people like that traditional Greek feel.

 

I'd say it's a qualifier.

It's okay ... the beginning is dull, and I'm not sure the up-tempo part is good enough to make that okay. Not loving it.

Oh I quite like this now. :heehee: It has a strange charm to it. :wub: I'm preferring Albania's and Andorra's efforts though so far!

Video dead, not heard it yet.

 

Here you go Ricky. :D

Quite liking this one, really gets going. Hope it scores many points but doubt it will.

I think it's nice. It has its charm and has the chance to qualify imo
