Kosta welcome to Cyprus!
Nice to meet you
You had a concert in Larnaca and one in Limassol. How was it?
They were really very beautiful. I believe as always, the people of Cyprus were very supportive and showed
their love generously. I really had a great time, I am very glad because Cyprus is my luck because my CD
singe and my first album was written here in Cyprus. Thanks so much Cyprus and generously I am coming
very often in Cyprus. I really love very much Cyprus.
Kosta you had been in Latvia in Jurmala, and in Belarus. What is your impression about these countries?
It is something unique as well as different. They invited me from the previous year that I have been participated
for Greece in a competition. I met famous artist like Dima Bilan, Ani Lorak, Philip Kirkorov, with many artist.
It was a great experience.
Lets stay in these countries because we have to say that you have a big success in these countries. Why do
you believe you have so much success there?
I cant say for sure the reason behind it.It seems that they like my songs very much and I am very happy
about it. I don’t know the exactly reasons.
Kosta what are your plans for next year?
I plan to begin collecting material for my new record as soon as possible which is due around the end
of October. I will not be able to make any shows as I am serving in the navy at their time. I believe I will be able
to make concerts normally without problems.
With whom foreign artists would you like to cooperate and why?
With a lot but especially with Jennifer Lopez. It was one of my dreams
How was the concert with Jennifer Lopez for which you were the opening act and how was the experience to
cooperate with such a huge artist?
It’s amazing. It’s great for an artist to be on the side of a very famous star after being chosen by her and her
group to perform the opening act. After finishing my act, it was a great experience to go down to the dressing
rooms and as I told her I gained a lot. It was very important for me, besides having on my resume this event,
that I acquired a lot of personal benefits, so I thanked her for this.
Kosta what is your opinion about what Kalomira said concerning her exit from Greek show-biz?
Honestly I don’t know anything.
How do you comment Sakis Rouvas representing Greece next year in Moscow as it was announced by ERT?
I believe that there is nothing better than Sakis Rouvas to represent us. I believe he is perfect for the job.
Kosta a lot of things are said about yourself to represent Cyprus next year in Moscow. What do you want to
say about that?
No official proposition has been done so I can’t answer that. If it happens we will talk about it.
From what we know you have friendly relationship with last year’s Eurovision winner Dima Bilan. Tell us a little
bit about your relationship about Dima and what do you think about his victory?
Dima is my friend, I have invited him to Greece and he has invited me in Russia and I wish him the best. I
believe he deserved the victory, he is a famous artist in Russia and America and he truly deserve it.
As you may know Cyprus has taken on the biggest event ever, the Junior Eurovision, taken place in less than
two months. What is your opinion about this?
It’s a great thing. Congratulations to Cyprus, I believe that Cyprus is ready for big events as it has proven in the
past. I am really glad because Eurovision is not only for adults and the public who watch Eurovision it’s
younger, so it’s a great thing to have and Junior Eurovision. I am big fan.
Kosta which songs from all Eurovision did you like and you distinguish?
From all… From old one or…
Generously from Eurovision
I really liked My number one of Elena Paparizou. Really so much. I really liked Gimme of Abba. I liked never
let you go of Dima Bilan. I really liked the stage performance of Sakis. And the song too. But especially the
stage performance. I was really very sad that year. I believed that the victory was in our grasp. There are many
songs that I like from Eurovision. I like very much from this year Sirusho’s song, of Ani Lorak. There are so
many songs from all these years that I am watching Eurovision
And what about the Cypriot songs in Eurovision?
I really liked the song of Constantinos Christoforou and Annette and Evridiki’s song that I was really terribly
upset like everyone, because I didn’t watch the semi final. I believed with my heart that we would be first in
semi -final and in final. I really didn’t watch semi final and I was terribly upset. I really liked it so much. It was
a great participate. Congratulations.
Generously Cyprus deserves something better in Eurovision. I try to understand the reason that Cyprus can’t
make it.
Everybody is searching the reason… we hope that we will have a better luck in the future
I really hope it
