On 29 January there was a change in the line-up of the final : Nasos Lambrianides and Melis Konstantinou withdrew their song " Nothing Is Real " from the contest in order to avoid splitting votes between it and their other song , " Life Looks Better in Spring " . The withdrawn song was replaced by " Waiting " , written by Christodoulos Charalambides and Andreas Economides . On 3 February the song " Play " , composed by Milena Staneva and performed by Deep Zone , the Bulgarian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 , was disqualified after the song was found on file sharing websites and video website YouTube , breaching the rules of the Cypriot national final . The song was not replaced , leaving just nine songs left in the contest
