CYPRUS – Shh – Theo Evan
There was the longest of pregnant pauses between Theo Evan being announced as the singer for Cyprus and the actual song hitting the airwaves and there could be an argument made that at the time of the announcement they didn’t know what kind of song they wanted to enter and, in a desperate attempt to repeat the results of previous years, they got Panik Records to “ Write something we usually send, but for a bloke this time cos we’ve got to be diverse and stuff” but that is conjecture from an addled mind, however, and I’m sure it was all decided a long time ago yes?
Entitled “Shh” which is a bit of a dodgy command to give your audience who may well vote for you, the well built Theo whose shoulders are, sadly, bigger than his voice, sings a rather confusing song which is more akin to a stream of consciousness set to music rather than a traditional song in a traditional format and that is not to say that innovation is a bad thing when it is executed well. This? – This just seems to be a string of nothing set to music almost as though those songwriters spun the “wheel o music” about 30 times, took whatever it said and put it in a massive blender. It’s neither one thing or another which leads me to think that CYBC are trying to be “too clever” with this song and have gone for something that is more performance art rather than song. It’s going to be all strobe lighting effects on stage I reckon with only the gays voting for this because he has those aforementioned shoulders and a bit of the old gay face going on.
