Apollonia Lysandrou took part in the Cyprus 2015 Eurovision national selection Eurochallenge competition. Her pop/rock song Don’t Give On Me (Just Yet) has now been officially released through the digital platform iTunes.

Apollonia is a talented up and coming singer/songwriter and musician that has a big future ahead of us. We may well see her take the Eurovision stage in the future.

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.

  • Charis Savva & Nearchos Evaggelou – Dila Den Agapo
  • Giannis Karagiannis – One Thing I Should Have Done
