With such an early date in the calendar, Cyprus will once again be at the forefront of the Eurovision Song Contest songs to be made public next year. It is likely that Cyprus will be the second national final of the year, with Albania's Festival i Kinges expected to take place once again at the end of December 2007.

Asked if he would be entering the competition, he said it was a definite possibility. Asked about another collaboration with Lisa, he said "I would really love to work with her again, it might be this year, it might be next year, but it is on the cards".
