Speaking exclusively to GCT, TAMTA expresses her happiness and excitement about being chosen to perform. “I have heard from friends of mine that have participated in the Eurovision Song Contest that it is a unique and powerful experience. I want to live this experience with all of you,” TAMTA said. 

TAMTA’s Eurovision entry song is ‘Replay’, which was written and composed by Greek producer Alex Papakonstantinou and his team. Alex has composed many Greek and Cypriot entries in the Eurovision Song Contest. TAMTA says she hopes “audiences will love the song as much as I do. I wish that what you will see and hear from me and my team in the first semi-final, which is going to take place on the 14th of May, will cheer you up and make you want to dance. Let’s hope with your support we will go through and ‘Replay’ the song for all of you in the grand final on the 18th of May.”

The young, talented singer was invited to represent Cyprus for the second year in a row, as last year she had to decline due to other commitments and this year she was internally selected by the Cypriot broadcaster (RIK). 

“Why Cyprus? In my heart, Greece and Cyprus are the same, so I gladly accepted it,” TAMTA said.

This year’s Eurovision slogan is ‘Dare to dream’, and TAMTA says she understands and feels totally connected to this year’s theme. “There were periods in my life, that the only thing I had was my dreams, without any indication or a chance for them to come true. I kept dreaming and a lot of those became true. I’m sure that a lot of the diaspora Greeks and Cypriots can feel what I mean and identify themselves with it.”

“I want to live this experience and live it together with all of you. Of course, it’s a competition, and we will do everything we can, for the best possible result for my fans and people of Cyprus. I will be extremely happy to make it through to the finals and be in the top 10. Of course, this is completely up to the jury and the votes of the people.”

Greeks and Cypriots around the world have constantly supported TAMTA throughout her career, from participating in the Super Idol to now, where she will be representing Cyprus in the 64th Eurovision Song Contest.

The creative performer is extremely thankful for all the support she has received in her professional and personal life. “I’m really thankful because Greece and Cyprus made my dream come true and supported me from the first moment. Therefore, on my behalf, I am embracing the Cypriot entry always having on my mind all the things that were given to me from all of you. Success is a fact only with your support and your love.”

GCT followers worldwide, TAMTA also has a message for you- “No matter how far you remember and love your heritage- Greece and Cyprus! Wishing you all well and I am sending you my love… on Replay!!!”

Eleni Foureira made us all proud with one of the best performances for Cyprus and we want to see that happening again with this year’s entry, the song Replay performed by Tamta.

For Cyprus, Eurovision competition is very important, and this is proved by our participations the last few years!

We have prepared our Top 3 Cyprus performances in the competition so far:

Number 3:

Ivi Adamou – La La Love (Eurovision 2012 Baku, Azerbaijan)

Even though the song came 16^th in the Grand Eurovision Final with 65 points, we loved the song and we are sure that every Eurovision fan danced to the rhythm of La La Love!

Number 2:

Minus One – Alter Ego (Eurovision 2016 Stockholm, Sweden)

The band rocked the Eurovision stage, earned fans from every part of Europe (and not only!) and came 8^th with 164 points!

Number 1:

Eleni Foureira – Fuego (Eurovision 2018 Lisbon, Portugal)

The “Fuego” woman who made the world talking and losing their minds over her every performance, Eleni Foureira is 100% worthy of being our No. 1!!! Unforgettable performance, amazing voice and of course the highest classification of Cyprus in the Eurovision contest! 2^nd place and 436 points, 1^st place in our hearts and a grand club hit for many years to come!
