The Cyprus interview

Christina Metaxa speaks to esctoday.com

Christina Metaxa, Cypriot representative in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest spoke to esctoday.com. The 16-year-old singer is one of the youngest contestants this year and a newcomer to the music business. Her entry is written by her brother Nikolas Metaxas, who became famous through a talent search on television.

Christina spoke about her second rehearsal which took place on Friday. She will represent at number seven in the second semi final on 14th May with her song Firefly. Last year, Cyprus was eliminated after the second semi final when Evdokia Kadi represented the country with the song Femme fatale and finished 15th. The last time Cyprus appeared in the final was in 2005.

No Booring song here.

Cyprus's "FiReFly" with Christina Metaxa & Nikolas (L),
whose song presentation with its LOVELY vocals is like
an elegant atmospheric DREAM!!!!!!!!! Well done!!!!!!

Please make the most of the big advantage offered to you ...
performing AFTER ;) Norway's song that, despite it being a favourite,
is STILL a ...screaming vocal AND visual mess!

Best of luck, Cyprus! :)

Special wishes, as always, to Greece's strong UPLIFTING song "This Is Our Night" with (L) S A K I S (L)!

i have to say that at the begin i did not believed in the song and the singer, but now i like it a lot, the concept and the atmosphere of the song is great

Firefly is such an elegant, sensitive song with a social meaning that will probably be lost in eurovision. Christina has improved most than everyone I've seen this year...her rehearsals have been 100 times better than the nf.
I want to believe that the juries will help this song go to the final.

In the final, this year!!!!! :D

greece will not be the only country to give christina 12 points this year.

this has a real chance to be cyprus' most successful entry.

the girl gets better...and better... and better... and better.

i dont think she will win this year, but she could be a winner of the future.

top 5 is a real possibility for cyprus this year. and i really hope they achieve it.
