Cyprus: “Liar” by Silia Kapsis Released for Eurovision 2024!
/0 Comments/in Cyprus, Eurovision 2024/by Ioannis AmpatzidisThrough the website of RIK: www.rik.cy, the entry of Cyprus for Eurovision 2024 was premiered a while ago, titled “Liar“, featuring the versatile Silia Kapsis as the vocalist.

Contributors of the Entry
The Cypriot entry for Eurovision 2024 is signed by Dimitris Kontopoulos and Elke Tiel. The video clip of this year’s Cypriot entry was shot after several years in Cyprus, specifically at the marina of Limassol and at the City of Dreams hotel. The director of the video clip is Kostas Karydas, while responsible for the stage presentation of Silia Kapsis in Liverpool will be Marvin Dietmann, Ross Nicholson, and Dan Shipton.

Cyprus in the Eurovision Contest
This is Cyprus’s 40th participation in the contest, making it the country with the most participations without a win. The debut was in 1981 with Monika, achieving an impressive sixth place. Until the end of the 90s, Cyprus often managed to be in the top ten of the final rankings. However, from 2004, when the system of semifinals began until 2014, Cyprus managed to pass the semifinal hurdle only in three instances!
This drastically changed from 2015 onwards, with little Cyprus counting only qualifications. The highlight, of course, of all this good progress was the second place in 2018 with Eleni Foureira and Fuego.
Last year, Cyprus was represented by Andrew Lambrou with the song Break A Broken Heart, finishing in 12th place with 126 points.
Silia Kapsis and Liar continue their upward trend in the betting odds, as after the release of the teaser, her odds for victory have literally halved. The Cypriot delegation keeps a low profile and prepares in detail for Silia’s performance on the contest stage, believing that they will manage to surpass the previous performance of Andrew Lambrou and the twelfth place of Break A Broken Heart.
Good luck Cyprus! Good luck Silia!

Cyprus: The message behind Silia’s “Liar”!
/0 Comments/in Cyprus, Eurovision 2024/by Giannis ArgyriouOnly one day left before the official video clip of the Cypriot entry in Eurovision 2024 will be released. The official music video of ‘Liar’ has been filmed entirely in Cyprus, namely at the City of Dreams Mediterranean resort and the Limassol Marina. It has been ages since a Cypriot Eurovision music video has been filmed on the island, as most of the music videos have been filmed in Greece. The music video has been directed by none other than Kostas Karydas. CYBC has sent a press release about the message behind Silia’s song for Eurovision.
This is exactly the interpretation depicted in the music video of the entry directed by Kostas Karydas that is to be released on all platforms on February 29th 2024. In the said video, which was filmed after many years in Cyprus and more specifically at the City Of Dreams Mediterranean – the new landmark casino resort of the island and at the Limassol Marina, we see through the eyes of the representative of Cyprus Silia Kapsis a series of oppressive situations that a fake world and the negative side of social media often impose.
In the second part of the music video, we see Silia Kapsis reacting to these situations, rocking the boat and daring to live her truth while at the same time inspiring others to follow her in a celebration of liberating oneself from such lies. In the music video one can also see an extremely small part of the dynamic choreography by the distinguished L.A. choreographers Guy Groove and Kelly Sweeney with which “Liar” will be presented on stage in Malmo.
As you read exclusively in Eurovisionfun the video clip will be released tomorrow at 17:00 CET on CyBC’s official website and at 18:00 CET on the Official Eurovision Song Contest Youtube channel.

Eurovision 2024: Dan Shipton to Direct Germany, Austria, and Cyprus!
/1 Comment/in Austria, Cyprus, Eurovision 2024, Germany/by Ioannis AmpatzidisDan Shipton will be directing three countries in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Specifically, Black Scull Creative, owned by Dan, his husband Ross Nicholson, and their collaborators Jay Revell and Paul Gardner, will be responsible for the television production of the entries from Austria, Germany, and Cyprus.
Speaking to The Euro Trip, Dan Shipton revealed:
We have Austria, Germany, and Cyprus.
We are very excited about these countries and we are very close to them.
We turned down several collaborations this year to dedicate more time to family, but we couldn’t miss out on Eurovision because it’s our passion.
Shipton has been the creative director of many entries in the past decade and was the main creative director of Eurovision 2023 in Liverpool. Also, in 2022, he worked with four countries, while in 2021, he collaborated with seven. Shipton and Nicholson had to reduce their collaborations for this year’s Eurovision as they are expecting their first child. Marvin Dietmann will also be collaborating with them on the three entries in Malmo this year.
Kaleen, this year’s representative of Austria at Eurovision, is married to Dietmann and is a close friend of Shipton.
Kaleen and I have been friends for years.
The song is a banger and has very nice elements. It’s wonderful, her vocals are amazing, the choreography is fantastic, and the song is perfect.
It has something different from what you would expect from a typical Eurovision song. What we have prepared will excite.
17-year-old Silia Kapsis, who will represent Cyprus with “Liar,” has already started working with Shipton and his team to prepare her performance for Malmo.
The song is fantastic. When her team sent it to me, I listened to it, listened to it again, listened to it for a third time, and I really liked it.
As an artist, she is amazing. Vocally, she is great. The choreography is wonderful. She definitely has the potential to stand out.
The Eurovision stage has been designed by German designer Florian Wieder, who has designed seven stages at Eurovision since 2011, including last year’s in Liverpool.
Whatever Florian designs is amazing.
It’s wonderful to have the audience around you. The cross-shaped stage will compel people to rally around it.
It’s up to us, as creative directors, to find a way to capture something different and guess what the result will look like to do something that will stand out. The stage has many possibilities.
