Greek pop star Josephine has released “Celebrity”, the song she submitted to the Cypriot national broadcaster CyBC for Eurovision 2027, narrowly missing out on the ticket to Burgas.
Greek pop singer Josephine released today the song “Celebrity“, with which she tried to represent Cyprus at Eurovision 2027. As mentioned, the singer was one of the six final artists who reached the last stage in the internal selection of the Cypriot national broadcaster, CyBC, for the ticket to represent the country in Burgas, but ultimately lost the battle to George Perris – the first artist to secure his spot in Bulgaria this coming May.
The song was published today by the record label Heaven Music and the Warner Music Group. The track was written by Nikos Sarris, and composed by Christos Dantis, one of the creators of the song “My Number One” performed by singer Helena Paparizou, which gave Greece its first and only victory in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2005.
Although the song ultimately failed to reach Eurovision, it now marks another milestone for the Greek singer. Josephine was extremely close to snatching the ticket to the contest already in 2026, but ultimately lost by a single point in the jury vote to Antigoni, and apparently, the same happened this year.
The Final Six for Cyprus
A few weeks ago, the Greek website Eurovisionfun published the list of final contenders to represent the country in the European contest. The list included six well-known and prominent names in the local and international music industry, including Josephine and five others: Anastasios Rammos, Charis Savva, Evangelia, Katerina Stikoudi, and George Perris, who was selected to represent Cyprus in the contest.
Each of the candidates has their own resume. Charis Savva represented Cyprus at Junior Eurovision, and Evangelia is well known to Eurovision fans after her many participations in the selection processes of Greece and Cyprus over the last decade. Ultimately, the chosen representative is George Perris, who already last year was considered a strong potential name and reached the final stage alongside Josephine.
Josephine – Who are You?
The Greek singer Josephine, or her full name Jessica Josephine Wendel, was born on August 22, 1990, in Athens, the capital of Greece.
Josephine is considered one of the biggest pop stars in Greece and has many hits that have achieved great success, such as “Ego” which topped the charts in the country. She has a long history in the Eurovision world, having already competed in 2014 alongside the Greek DJ Mark Angelo in the Greek national selection “Greece Eurosong 2014” with the song “Dancing Night“. To her disappointment, Josephine finished in fourth place in the selection. Since then, Josephine has tried to reach the Eurovision Song Contest several more times, but once again, she will have to wait.
