Eleftheria Eleftheriou

Eleftheria "Elle" Eleftheriou (Greek: Ελευθερία Ελευθερίου, Greek pronunciation: [elefθeˈria elefθeˈriu]; born 12 May 1989) is a Greek-Cypriot singer and actress who came to prominence in Greece and Cyprus through her participation in the second season of Greece's version of the singing competition The X Factor. Her early elimination from the show was considered a shock to many. Shortly after her elimination, Sony Music Greece signed Eleftheria and submitted her as a candidate to represent Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. She was later disqualified from the national final, following the leak of her song onto the web by an unknown party.
