France Televisions has announced today that the 2015 French Eurovision representative Lisa Angell will perform her Eurovision entry N’oubliez pas for the very first time on television on Saturday 28 February.

The French 2015 Eurovision hopeful will appear on France 2’s Le Grand Show on Saturday 20:50 CET. Eurovision fans and the French audience will be able to see the first live performance of the 2015 French Eurovision entry.

Last month France 2 announced that Lisa Angell will fly to Vienna and represent France at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest with her entry N’oubliez pas.

About Lisa..

Lisa Angell was selected via an internal selection to fly the French flag at the 60th Eurovision Song Contest with N’oubliez pas. The 2015 French entry has been composed by Robert Goldman.

The 2015 French Eurovision entry carries a message of peace that will surely reach and touch the European audience come May. France 2 is  responsible of selecting the 2015 French Eurovision act and song for Vienna.

The story so far..

France 2 will air the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest live on 23 May at 20:45 CET.  France Televisions will be also airing both the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 semi-finals live on 19 and 21 May on France Ô.

The Eurovision Song Contest will return to France 2, the channel which was in charge of the Eurovision Song Contest in the 1980′s and 1990′s. The poor results afflicting France in the competiton in the last 3 years could have led the French national broadcaster to make this decision. It seems like the French broadcaster would like to promote the Eurovision Song Contest and improve France’s image and results at the Eurovision Song Contest  with this new approach.

About France…
