SEMI FINAL ONE 2019 – CYPRUS

Ida Andia from Romania joins the team of the Eurovision coverage facebook as of today. She will listen to each and every entry in the two semi finals and discuss their chances of reaching the final.

Here is what Ida wrote over the first song of semi final 1 she listened to

I am starting with Cyprus. I think that Cyprus will qualify for the Grand Final and could even be in TOP 10. It is a fresh song, with a modern/ summer vibe. Tamta has a nice voice and she can sing very well live. The song can easily become a hit (like Fuego) because is catchy. I like it and I have it on replay.
