Eurovision 2023: Cyprus’ First Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last but definitely not least for today’s rehearsals is Andrew Lambrou with his song “Break A Broken Heart” representing Cyprus!

But who is Andrew Lambrou ?

Andrew Lambrou was born in Sydney, Australia and he is of Greek-Cypriot descent. Although he is just 24 years old his presence on TikTok is spectacular, since his profile on this social platform has gathered more than 700,000 followers.

He started to play music at the age of 5, when he was enrolled at the music school of AMS where he learned how to play the piano. One of his talents was his capabiity of listening to a song and then playing it on his own by heart. Soon he realized that he had to fulfill his musical destiny after having already won the first place in a competition singing the song “Doh A Deer”, still at the age of five. His own parents encouraged his inclination towards music throughout his life, while he attended musical classes at “LaVoce” Music School, where Marc Villagra was his vocal coach.

Andrew Lambrou currently lives in Sydney, Australia where he composes and performs his own songs, while he has also taken part in “The X Fctor of Australia”, “Australia’s Got Talent” and “The Voice of Australia”.

The rehearsal

Inspired by the elements of the earth, from the abyss to the catharic waters of the waterfall, we end up to lava and fire for a rebirth.

This is a great way to end what has been a brilliant second day of rehearsals. Break A Broken Heart is a powerful, heartfelt ballad with a marching drumbeat that’s vibrating through the Liverpool Arena floor – Andrew’s vocal is sublime, and there’s something electrifying about the way this song builds from the first big note to an even bigger finish. The LED backdrop transitions from waterfall to flames, and the whole thing is a massive Monday afternoon MOOD. Surely there’s some pyro incoming?

Cyprus has floor smoke AND four banks of flames – the first real flames of the contest!

Cyprus: “I’m gonna play with fire” said Andrew!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

With the first technical rehearsals for the 37 participating countries starting today, EurovisionFun is here covering every rehearsal and providing you with information about everything that is going on in Liverpool.

Our YouTube live videos are also back and in today’s live video we had a special guest. It was no other than Andrew Lambrou, this year’s Cypriot representative.

Check out what Andrew Lambrou shared with us:

I wanna start of just by saying a big “Thank you!” to you guys for the support you have been giving me throughout this whole process. It really does mean a lot to me and those things shine through. All the positivity around me means so much. I know you have been doing a lot and I appreciate all the work that you put in.

I’m feeling very good! I’m excited for tomorrow! Tomorrow is the day I’ve been waiting for a very long time. I get to see everything put together on the stage and I just can’t wait and I’m hoping that the world enjoys it too.

Can you tell anything about tomorrow?

I can say one thing to you…We’re gonna be playing with fire!

We have heard that it will be really impressive.

Yes, this is the goal. We want to bring everything to life and I want this to be a special moment to everyone, including myself and for Cyprus and for all Eurovision fans

So what’s the goal?

The goal.. I’ll be honest with you. We know that Eurovision is about uniting the world. It always does. The slogan this year is “United By Music”.It’s a competition, but my goal is to go out there and give absolutely everything, to perform from here, to perform with meaning and whatever will be after that will be. I’m just focused on walking off that stage and feeling proud of myself and hoping that everyone can feel that sense of proudness too.

One last question! Will Australia give 12 points to Andrew this year?

We gonna have to wait and see. But I must say I’m also feeling a lot from Australia too, which is super special to me. And we’ll find out soon.

In the end, we wished the Cypriot representative together with the audience watching the live show the best of luck, to make all Greeks proud with his performance.

In the video below you can watch the short interview to Andrew Lambrou from 18:26.

Tomorrow takes place the first rehearsal of Cyprus, and we will find out what the Cypriot delegation had been preparing all those months. Cyprus competes from spot number 6 of the Second Semi-Final on 11th of May.

Andrew Lambrou: “The staging in Liverpool is gonna be epic!” | Exclusive Interview |

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

This year’s representative of Cyprus, Andrew Lambrou, spoke exclusively to Apostolis Matamis and Eurovisionfun about his participation in Eurovision 2023 with the song “Break A Broken Heart“.

For the premiere day of his participation, he stated that he was quite excited as the preparation time was long and he was very happy that many people were there to watch the premiere of the song. Regarding the participation of “Break A Broken Heart”, Andrew said:

“The song refers to the pain of the past and the empowerment through it! Relationships can be difficult and affect us mentally, but in the end, you can become stronger through it.”

“It’s an epic song! Of course, I had many other options and it was a difficult process! But then ‘Break A Broken Heart’ came along and it stood out straight away!”

About his stage appearance on the Liverpool stage, he revealed to us:

“We are in discussions and trying to put things in order. I think that the stage appearance will particularly flatter the song. If I could describe it in one word, my appearance will be epic!”

Andrew then revealed to us as his favourite Eurovision entries Eleni Foureira (2018), Elena Paparizou (2005), Lordi (2006) and Moldova 2010.

Also, he  referred to the reaction video of his participation by the Eurovisionfun team, which he and his family watched and loved!

Through the morning show of RIK1, “A Beautiful Day” with Elpida Iakovidou, Cyprus‘ entry for Eurovision 2023, entitled Break A Broken Heart, was aired for the first time a while ago, with the multi-talented Andrew Lambrou as a performer.

In the first broadcast through the show, we had the opportunity to listen for the first time to the song that Andrew Lambrou will sing at the upcoming Eurovision, while immediately after and precisely at 9:00 CET the song was uploaded to PANIK’s YouTube channel and is of course available at all digital platforms (You can find the pre-purchase link here).

You can listen to Andrew Lambrou‘s “Break A Broken Heart” at the link below:

Cyprus at the Eurovision Song Contest

This is Cyprus‘ 39th appearance in the contest, which is now the country with the most appearances without a win. The debut came in 1981 with Monika and an impressive sixth place. Until the end of the 90s, Cyprus very often managed to be in the top ten of the final standings. However, since 2004, when the semi-final system began, and until 2014, it managed to pass the semi-final stage, only on three occasions!

The above has changed drastically since 2015 and since then, with little Cyprus counting only appearances in the grand final of our favorite competition. The highlight, of course, was the second place in 2018 with Eleni Foureira and Fuego.

Last year, Cyprus was represented by Andromache, with the song Ela, without making it to the Final.

What do you think of the Cypriot participation in this year’s contest? Stay tuned for all the news regarding Cyprus at Eurovision.
