Antigoni Buxton Responds to Reactions to Her Eurovision Clip (video)

Antigoni Buxton responded to the reactions caused by the music video of the song "Jalla", which will represent Cyprus in the Eurovision 2026. The singer stated that she is not affected by the negative criticism and that she loves Cyprus, while the video presents a Cyprus that she loves. This statement comes after a letter was sent to the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) by figures from the cultural sector and other professional fields, requesting the withdrawal of the song and music video, describing them as unsuitable to depict Cyprus and its tradition. Antigoni Buxton was blunt in her response, saying characteristically "Let them talk," emphasizing that she does not wish to change her mind despite the reactions. The music video has sparked intense discussion on social media and in the press, with many criticizing the content and the image it projects of Cyprus.
