Cypriot Unicorn Attack

This week, the only Eurovision selection show held was in Cyprus, and it was the sixth out of nine preselection shows. In the interest of brevity, here are three songs that didn't make the cut from those first six shows.

"Steko akoma" by Kostas Archontous was discqualified in the second show. It's a Eurovisiony rock song with a great chorus.







 "Unicorn" by Anastasia Liberos was disqualified in the third show. It's a sweetly vocalized ballad, fairly old fashioned in a way that might fall under the influence of last year's winner-itis. It's even got another mythological creature as the title.


"No Money No Honey" by Helena was disqualified in the fifth show. It's a catchy early 00s style pop song that's pretty unremarkable except for its pretty daring, out of touch even, message because something something economy.


It's still early in the season so the schedule is light. Next week brings a semifinal in Cyprus and a final in Georgia.
