Eurovision 2008: Cyprus

Tuomo writes: People complain about how the Balkan Block has taken over the Eurovision Song Competition tipping the balance of top ten countries in favor of the newbies, i.e. east European countries and the Balkans in particular. Well, lemme tell ya, everything pales to the game of “Douze Point Footsie” between the old school countries of Greece and Cyprus. Talk about neighborly fraternization when year after year these two countries would spare their highest points for each other – though admittedly this has become less blatant in course of the more recent years…

In 2008 Cyprus brings forth Evdokia Kadi and Femme Fatale:

Oπα! Bring on the bouzouki! And electric guitars, oh my…

In 2007, the entire song was in French (too bad it didn’t make it to the finals), this year just the title. Just wondering if this is going to be in Greek or English? No matter what, Cyprus – provided that they make it to the final along with Greece (duh!) – will get the token 12 points from Greece…

From me, 12 points for bringing hot men on stage… For the rest of performance, I better hold my tongue for fear of the wrath of certain Hellenophiles… and say no more than that this was quite original :-)
