“We hope that after our performance the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest will take place at Cyprus”, was the confident opening statement of Evi Papamichael, the Head of Press of the Cypriot team at their first press conference.The lead singer Christina Metaxa was overwhelmed by the Eurovision listen – she added that she was impressed with the stage and the team so much that she wanted to rehearse more and more in order to enjoy this amazing atmosphere.
Seventeen-year-old Christina is one of the youngest participants of the contest. Her brother is a major influence on her career. Her brother composed the song which Christina is singing.
For the past five years she has been singing in musicals, and one of her latest roles is Sofi in “MAMMA MIA”.
The journalists asked whether Nicolas Metaxas was planning to record an album for his sister. The composer said that it was already underway and they hoped to release the disk by winter.
Apart from singing, Christina is fond of painting and writing fairy tales for children. She has not decided yet which of the activities she likes best and is happy to be able to combine all of them.
To the question how easy it will be for Christine to come on stage after the favoured Norwegian entry, she answered that she liked Alexander’s song very much, but all songs are different and that makes the order of performance absolutely unimportant. Christina wished success to Alexander Rybak and in the end of press-conference sang a capella a piece of the song “Firefly”.
