The songstress of Albanian origin, Eleni Foureira, came to the attention of the media some time ago after denying her origin. Known as Greece's Beyonce, she was attacked by Albanian fans, and then forced to admit that if she would declared her origin, she would not reach the top, as today.
She reached Lisbon finally, where he will represent Cyprus in Eurovision. In an interview for 'Wiwiblogs', she attracted everyone's attention when she proudly declared that she is of Albanian descent.
"It's hard to live in Albania and then start the life in a new state where you know none, but all these difficulties made me who I am today. I am proud to be Albanian and I am very happy to have grown up in Greece, which is a fantastic country but I'm also proud to represent Cyprus in Eurovision," said Foureira.
