I have decided to take a look at each entry this year, in a lead-up to the contest! There are 39 countries participating this year, all aiming to win in Malmo (well, some don't wanna win!) Turkey, Portugal, Slovakia and Bosnia & Herzegovina decided to withdraw this year, which was a shame, so lets hope they'll decide to return for 2014! I have drawn all the countries randomly and today it's Hungary's turn...Despina Olympiou - An Me Thimase!
Cyprus selected internally this year, mainly because they can't afford to host a televised national final but that didn't matter, as the broadcaster made a great choice when selecting Despina. She sings a sweet ballad in Greek - entitled An Me Thimase which means If Your Remember Me in English! It's a nice ballad, but nothing more. She recorded a Spanish and English - both of which are lovely. Very pleased she's sticking to Greek for the contest and not translating it into English.
Unfortunately I don't think it'll make the final but it could sneak through will help from the professional juries. Looking forward to the live performances too for this one! Despina performs between Ireland and Belgium - two similar uptempo songs so Cyprus could stand out! Even if they do make the final, it won't trouble the left hand side for the scoreboard. Can Despina bring Cyprus into the final for a second year in a row? She does have great vocals, something which can't be said for everyone this year... ^^
An me thymasai Pes mou an tha se xanado Se perimeno......
Enjoy!
At the Greek national final...
