After two successful Top 10 placements, the Cypriot delegation has decided to postpone their national final for this edition, citing latest Cypriot contestant + host + vice president Kara Marni's heavily televised court case following accusations of stealing one Amerie Nicholson's identity and songs as the main reason for the cancelation of Karafestivalen. "It was bad for her", said the Cypriot head of delegation.
Following budget cuts and a lack of interest for R̶E̶A̶L̶ ̶M̶E̶N̶ musicians to represent Cyprus for ESCT, Sydney-based professional Zayn Malik cover artist and impersonator Andrew Lambrou will represent our esteemed country with his show-stopping and very much so brilliant magnum opus "Throne". We respectfully wish the other delegations an ounce of luck.
