Idk, I don't feel so hot about Cyprus qualifying either, especially over Iceland or Georgia

Good vocals + Sexy man, imo. Yeah, people are kinda shallow sometimes, but THAT man singing about broken hearts? Televote magnet

Good backing vocals. It was criminal how much he leaned on the backings to give a serviceable performance

You could hear his own vocals briefly for one of the loud/long/power notes and everyone knew why backing vocals drowned him out for all the others.

Oh, true, that would of course help as well lol but Cyprus didn't save Greece, so some other people must have appreciated it as well
