So, the starting pistol on the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest was fired on Sunday, with September 1 marking the first day that songs can be publicly performed.
34 hours later, CyBC set the world on fire by announcing that an actual Cypriot would represent them for the first time since 2017. Theo Evan (the stage name of Evangelos Thodorou), a man of undetermined age (well the internet and Wikipedia haven’t said what it is, I’m sure his mother knows), and who was born in Nicosia, but went to the US to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, think Fame, but edgier!
Seven singles later, and acting in the hit HBO series Euphoria (Jesus wept) CyBC and, presumably, Panik Records, came knocking and persuaded him to sing in Basel.
Want to hear some of his music? – of course you do!
Granted, he’s got a bit of gayface going on but I don’t think many gays Eurovision fans would kick him out of bed for leaving crumbs. I fully suspect that his song might be “the kind of thing that Cyprus always sends” — just a male version, so I can’t wait for that (!)
