Both ERT and CyBc proposed Tamta for Eurovision 2019 – Who is the composer of the Cypriot entry?
/0 Comments/in Cyprus, Eurovision, Eurovision 2019, Greece/by Eurovision funΑccording to Alpha Cyprus, a local tv channel, both Greece and Cyprus proposed Tamta to represent them at the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv, yet the famous singer has given no reply to both of them.
A point of division between Greece and Cyprus
Both ERT and CyBc want Tamta to represent them at the contest, with the latest being silent at the moment. As the channel states, the following days will be crucial for CyBc to deal with one of the most lovable artists in both countries. Greek and Cypriot eurofans are willing to see Tamta stepping on the Eurovision stage, thus being the second year in a row for Cyprus to be represented by such a big artist.
We shall remind you that Tamta, as herself has stated, was asked to sing Fuego after Helena Paparizou’s rejection and before Eleni Foureira took the crown.
Exclusive – Who will compose the Cypriot entry?
Reading it from our site for the very first time, it is most certainly that Alex Papaconstantinou will be the composer of the Cypriot entry in 2019. This is the third time Alex Papaconstantinou collaborates with CyBc, after composing the Cypriot entry back in 2012 La La Love sang by Ivi Adamou, and in 2018 Fuego sang by Eleni Foureira.
If Tamta will be impressed by the suggested song and agrees to participate, will be known in the following days. The truth is, after two head members of the Greek broadcaster resigned from their positions (read more from our colleagues in escxtra) and the following steps of ERT being unknown, it seems easier for Tamta to choose the Cypriot proposal.
We shall stay calm as nothing is official yet, while the following days might not turn how we would like them.
