The auditions shows are over and the Eurochallenge 2 has taken place in Cyprus. 10 acts competed and six have made it through to the final on 1 February.
The same judges as last week selected the songs to progress to the final. They were Elena Patroklou (Cyprus ESC 1991) , Alex Panayi (Cyprus ESC 1995, 2000), Despina Olympiou (Cyprus ESC 2013), Tasos Trifonos, Christer Björkman (Sweden ESC 1992) and Dimitris Kontopoulos (composer of some previous Eurovision songs).
Between each song a preview postcard was shown of the 10 acts working in a music project performing their favourite Eurovision songs.
The six songs to make it to the final are –
- Charis Savva & Nearchos Evaggelou – Dila Den Agapo
- Giannis Karagiannis – One Thing I Should Have Done
- Hovig – Stone In A River
- Minus One – Shine
- Doody – Magic
- Panagiotis Koufogiannis – Without Your Love

We have another SHINE here, could it become the 5th such song in EUROVISION?
Shine is the best song without a doubt. It’s a one horse race. Minus one (aka Marianne’s Wish) are just amazing. The other songs just bore me. This one is a keeper 🙂
