My flying reporter Robert met also the Cypriot Ivi Adamou for an interview. Apparently he has been rather taken by Ivi's height but they also talked about her collaborations, how she got started and what she thinks about this Eurovision experience. Read it here:
You are so pretty and so tall! Have you
considered a career as a catwalk top model?
No, no way! I can walk just on a stage
and sing. I think I do that better!
Aren't you taller than most Greek and
Cypriot men?
No, I don't think so. For a Greek or
Cypriot woman I'm tall for standard but not taller than most men, ha
ha!
But may I ask you a personal question:
is there someone special in your life right now?
No. Not someone special, I'm single.
Is Eurovision a dream come true to you?
Yes! Since I was 9 I have been watching
Eurovision and thinking that maybe one day I will be there and now
it's happening! I'm really excited and happy and really want to live
this experience and do the best I can. All of us, the whole team.
When did your singing career start?
When I was 16 and I'm 18 now. At 10 I
started taking singing lessons, learning piano and theory of music
and already at 9 I did theater. When I was 16 I took part in the
Greek X Factor and got a recording deal out of it, so that was the
start for my career. And now I'm here! And I feel very lucky. Since I
was 16 I have had so many great experiences, including this now.
Will your career suffer if you don't
have success here? If you don't qualify for the final?
I don't think so. Of course it is a
risk when you go to Eurovision but it's an honour, too. I'm just so
happy to be here that I don't care about the result. I just want to
have this experience, feel the energy on stage from that huge
audience. Now, this is the moment. What is going to happen will
happen.
With what result will you be satisfied?
We don't really think about that.... We
just want to give a good performance, sing and dance and have people
singing and dancing with us. Be happy! Nothing else really matters.
For me and for my team, we are one now. We have worked so hard
together, we're family now.
Will you have some holidays after
Eurovision, this summer?
No! After Eurovision we might do a new
album, do live gigs in Cyprus and Greece... maybe later I will have
some holidays...
And who is your biggest fan or
supporter?
My family, all of them! My mom's here
now and my dad will come on Monday. And my sisters, everyone really!
I have two sisters, I'm the middle one. And two dogs!
What's your dream after Eurovision?
Just to sing. I don't know where but
just to sing. Nothing else. To make another album. More duets. I have
done two now, with Stavento and Melisses. It's very important, you
learn from them and they learn from you. It was a great experience.
Last question: Which of the 41 other
songs would you like to have performed? That would fit your
repertoire?
This year there are many good song and
many good performers. I wanna wish them all good luck from my heart
and … I don't really know.... Ok, maybe Sweden!
So can we expect a Greek version by you
then? :-)
Hey, great idea! That would be cool!
But no, not really.... ha ha!
Thank you for this interview and best
of luck for Tuesday night and... see in final!
