Cyprus participating in Eurovision 2008


After the final phase of the Cypriot song selection (semi-finals) into the Eurovision Song Contest, to be held, in May 2008 (Serbia, Belgrade), Evdokia Kadi with the song Femme Fatale will be representing Cyprus this year.

Nikos Evaggelou's song "femme fatale" is sung entirely in Greek except from the french title, by Evdokia Kadi, making it the only entry out of the ten to be performed in Greek language

Evdokia Kadi, the Cyprus representative, in Belgrade with the song Femme Fatal, speaks with esctoday.com regarding her plans for the Eurovision Song Contest in May and her feelings about representing her country in the 53rd Contest in May.

Evdokia Kadi speaks with esctoday.com's Russell Davies about her choreography, which will "remain a surprise for Belgrade". She also thinks the people of Cyprus missed the Greek language in Eurovision, so they voted her to represent their nation.
Evdokia announced that there would be no promotion tour planned for Cyprus this year, because they are visiting Athens at the moment to perform in the Greek Final. She "would prefer to stay in Cyprus and work". Evdokia Kadi concludes the interview by saying "Votez Pour Nous! Vote For Us! Chipre Douze Points!"

Evdokia Kadi is currently working on her presentation in Belgrade and she reveals that we can expect to see some Greek elements from the 90's as well as contemporary ones on stage. Although she will be accompanied by the same team who won the Cypriot final with her, there will be changes in Femme fatale: "We will make our presentation more powerful and more spectacular. The orchestration also will change with more modern elements."says Evdokia.
When asked about her opinion on the matter of the two semi finals and whether the Cypriot placing will be affected by the absence of the Greek vote, the young lady said that it was expected from the beginning that this would happen : "If Europe likes our song, they will vote us." she concluded.
