CYPRUS 🇨🇾 Following the release of EL DIABLO the sound immediately forwarded our minds to LADY GAGA's Alejandro and Bad Romance. As if this was not enough to harm the image of the Cyprus delegation, the music video proved to be a complete copy of ZARA LARSSON's LOVE ME LAND. Social media got on fire and Zara herself mocked the entire song. Cyprus was completely humiliated tonight! Congratulations CyBC... 6 0
