Eurovision 2024: Cyprus’ Second Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The second rehearsals of Eurovision 2024 have started! The first artist to set foot on the Eurovision stage of Malmö Arena for today is Silia Kapsis from Cyprus, with her energetic bop ”Liar”!

Who is Silia Kapsis?

Despite only being 17 years old, Silia Kapsis is already a succesful artist in Australia where she resides, as she has her own TV show in Nickelodeon Australia!

She sings and dances amazingly, and as she revealed to Eurovisionfun her big childhood dream was to perform on the Eurovision stage.

Silia is a singer of Cypriot and Greek descent, born in Sydney, Australia, on December 5, 2006 to the Cypriot singer Giorgos Kapsis and the Greek lawyer and former dancer Despina Saivanidis. She has been performing since the age of 4 and has had extensive training with elite artists at the top of their respective fields.

She has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Bobby McCloughan Creative Arts Award (130 Anniversary Award) at Claremont College, the St Vincent’s College Madame Christian Scholarship for Singing and most recently, she was the recipient of the Village Nation Performing Arts College Scholarship for All – Round Triple Threat Performer.

She composed her first single “Who Am I?” at the age of 12, but it was released later, only in 2022. Since then she has released three more singles – “No Boys Allowed”, in March 2023, “Disco Dancer”, in May 2023, and “Night Out”, in November 2023.

The Rehearsal

Silia is only 17 but she is killing this second rehearsal. No stage props, but lots of swirly green-blue and red graphics on the LED backdrop and floor. The LED graphics look like watery swirls and sine waves and they’re all choreographed to the beat of the music. Also should mention that the dancers pull their shirts off in the final chorus.

Once again, the performance is super energetic and set the party for the first semi final. Silia is more comfortable on the stage and she seems to enjoy even more.

The whole performance is a high-energy routine with a big dance break, in the bridge, before the final chorus. Fixed some TV footage requested by the Cypriot delegation from production and the team is very pleased with the final result!

First semi final starts with a BANG!

Eurovision 2024: Cyprus’ First Rehearsal!

The moment all eurofans have been waiting for is finally here! The first rehearsals of Eurovision 2024 have started! The first artist to set foot on the Eurovision stage of Malmö Arena is Silia Kapsis from Cyprus, with her energetic bop ”Liar”!

Who is Silia Kapsis?

Despite only being 17 years old, Silia Kapsis is already a succesful artist in Australia where she resides, as she has her own TV show in Nickelodeon Australia!

She sings and dances amazingly, and as she revealed to Eurovisionfun her big childhood dream was to perform on the Eurovision stage.

The Rehearsal

Silia is only 17, but she’s owning this stage like performing in a huge arena is a walk in the park. The gold lamé costume from the official video has been replaced with trousers and a crop top in sparkly white, with four male backing dancers in cargo pants and baggy white t-shirts. No stage props, but lots of swirly green and red graphics on the LED backdrop and floor. The LED graphics look like watery swirls and sine waves and they’re all choreographed to the beat of the music.

Fans of Silia’s dancing will be happy to hear that this performance has a high energy routine and a huge dance break before the bridge into the final chorus – just the kind of upbeat number we need to get the party started on May 7th. Also should mention that the dancers pull their shirts off in the final chorus.

The director of the video clip is going to be Kostas Karydas, one of the most renowned directors in Greece, but also with a lot of experience from the Eurovision contest, having directed Stefania’s and Amanda’s entries in 2021 and 2022 respectively, which  both ended up  in the top 10.

The video clip of this year’s Cypriot participation after several years will be shot entirely in Cyprus, specifically in Limassol and will contain a lot of exterior filming.

During her stay in Cyprus, Silia will speak to the Cypriot media and will also make television appearances. After the filming, Silia will return to Greece for the second part of her rehearsals, this time with the dancers who will accompany her on the Eurovision stage.

On the weekend during the filming, RIK and the artistic team, with the kind sponsorship of City of Dreams, the largest hotel complex in the country, is holding a media event for selected Eurovision sites, but also TV editors covering the Eurovision Song Contest. Of course Eurovisionfun will be there and bring you everything that happens. In addition, you can send your questions for Silia through our Instagram, since your ten best questions will be selected, so that we can address them to her in the interview we will conduct.

Cyprus: Silia is impressive in her first rehearsals!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Earlier this week, Silia Kapsis began her final preparations for Eurovision 2024 in Los Angeles, under the supervision of her two choreographers Kelly Sweeney and Guy Groove. Already 70% of the choreography has been completed and the result is excellent.

Since the beginning of the week, Silia Kapsis has been in Los Angeles, starting intensive rehearsals for the choreography that she will present to us on stage in May at the Eurovision contest. The two acclaimed choreographers, Kelly Sweeney and Guy Groove, have worked with Silia before and have prepared something very impressive and demanding, which highlights the incredible talent of this year’s Cypriot representative in the contest.

We got a little taste of what the team has been up to so far and we can safely say that Silia’s performance is breath taking. She keeps the viewer’s gaze fixed on her from the first second, without at any point reminding of similar appearances we have seen in the competition.

The look will be young, modern, absolutely TV familiar. Besides, it was done after there was first the design of the leds and lights that will be used in the appearance of Silia, so that everything ties together harmoniously and creates a perfect result from all points of view.

Dimitris Kontopoulos and Ilias Kokotos are also in Los Angeles since yesterday, who arrived there to watch the rehearsals and their development.

Next week, Silia will go to Cyprus to give her first interviews to the country’s media, and then to shoot the Liar video clip. The director of the video clip will be Kostas Karydas, who was the director of Stefania’s Last Dance and Amanda’s Die Together.

With greater confidence and optimism, the Cypriot delegation, since everything they have planned for this year’s participation is slowly taking shape, continue their preparations for this year’s competition.

Cyprus: Silia Kapsis will sing “Liar” at Eurovision 2024!

/0 Comments/in , /by

As announced by the Cypriot broadcaster RIK-CyBc, the title of the song, with which Silia Kapsis will represent Cyprus at Eurovision 2024, is “Liar“. The song is composed by Dimitris Kontopoulos and the lyrics are written by ELKE, a well-known Dutch artist.

The production of the song was completed a few days ago in a recording studio abroad. The creative team is completely satisfied with the final result, while the excellent response the song has received from all parties involved has filled the Cypriot mission with enthusiasm.

Liar is a very contemporary pop dance track, with instrumentation and production that perfectly suits the explosive stage presence of Silia Kapsis.

Silia Kapsis is leaving for Los Angeles in the next few days to meet Kelly Sweeney and Guy Groove, the choreographers who will be in charge of her choreography, which will be seen on stage in May. Immediately afterwards she will return to Cyprus to shoot the official music video of the Cypriot entry.

After the shooting of the music video, Silia Kapsis will travel to Greece, where she will make appearances in local media. The song is expected to be released in late February/early March, of course through RIK. Silia will remain in Athens until May, carrying out her final rehearsals for the competition.

The Cypriot delegation continues with a well-organized plan, its preparations for Eurovision 2024, always keeping a low profile, but hoping that it will manage to impress and be even higher on the scoreboard than Andrew Lambrou, who placed 12th, having an excellent performance last year.
