Editorial Picks: Who Should Represent Greece?
Avi Zaikaner: First Place – Evangelia – “Paréa”
An absolute powerhouse! Evangelia arrives at the Greek national selection with an infectious, high-energy track that embodies everything we want from Greece at Eurovision! The rhythm instantly grabs you, the joy in the song is contagious, the vocal performance is precise and impressive, and the production? Flawless – every detail is exactly where it should be. In short, everything comes together brilliantly! It’s Evangelia’s time at Eurovision!
Shahar “Chacha” Asido: First Place – Evangelia – “Paréa”
In my first place is the incredible Evangelia! An outstanding song that puts Greek culture front and centre, bursting with energy and completely radio-ready – the kind of track that could be played anywhere in the world.
Adiel Shtainmetz: First Place – Evangelia – “Paréa”
A weak and exhausting national selection. It’s disappointing – after last year’s success with Klavdia, I was expecting a strong and high-quality show. Instead, the overall level of the songs feels shallow and underwhelming. By a clear margin, my number one is Evangelia with “Paréa.” After not connecting with her entry at all last year, this time it was the complete opposite – I loved it from the very first listen and instantly clicked with it. Unfortunately, she most likely won’t take the win. It will probably go to Akylas and his dreadful song, which seems to be riding on completely unjustified hype. I truly hope to be proven wrong!
Ofek Jerassi: First Place – Evangelia – “Paréa”
My winner is, of course, Evangelia. There’s really not much to add — another year where she’s the strongest contender, and another year where she’s about to lose to a kitschy and underwhelming song (I’m talking about 2023, not last year). And let’s not even get started on Xannova Xan – who absolutely could have been my winner here. Best of luck to Greece in trying not to end up at the very bottom of my ranking. A total disappointment.
Neta Geffen: First Place – Evangelia – “Paréa”
I chose “Hava Nagila” — sorry, I chose Evangelia with “Paréa.” This is exactly the kind of Greek entry I want to see on the Eurovision stage. It’s polished pop production infused with ethnic elements in a way that feels organic and authentic, topped off with a chorus that practically invites the audience to join in from the very first row. Evangelia brings genuine warmth and charisma, and the entire song radiates celebration and connection — the true meaning behind the title, “Paréa.” It’s a choice that honours Greek identity while still feeling current and relevant for 2026, and it has all the ingredients to become a real crowd favourite on stage in Vienna.
Talor Fishler: First Place – Akylas – “Ferto”
Achilleas brings an especially bouncy, earworm of a track, packed with bold Greek ethnic touches and a musical style that strongly recalls the chaotic energy of Little Big. The song manages to feel both contemporary and tongue-in-cheek — in the best possible way — taking local folklore and giving it an unapologetic electronic kick. I’m convinced that with the right staging, Greece could deliver a performance that leaves everyone speechless and turns into one of the most viral and talked-about moments of the contest.
Oscar Diefenthal: First Place – Rosanna Mailan – “Alma”
We all grew up on early-2000s Greece, an iconic era filled with songs we still remember to this day. This year, it feels like Greece is making a big return to that exact vibe: Roussana with “Alma” delivers catchy, high-energy Eurodance packed with nostalgia. It feels like the perfect fusion between the rhythm of ״Düm Tek Tek״ and the explosive energy of ״My Number One״, precisely the kind of sound Eurovision audiences love.
Noy Yehoyada: First Place – Evangelia – “Paréa”
I’ve placed the stunning Evangelia at the top of my ranking with “Parea,” a song that brings an ethnic spark to the Greek selection, with a subtle Jewish wink (thank you, J Stoler). Somewhat surprisingly, and very disappointingly, none of the other artists whose fantastic entries I loved made it through to the final. But no worries: Evangelia is there to save the day. With stage skills and experience like hers, such a deep love for Eurovision, and a genuine desire to represent Greece, she is the perfect recipe for a representative every Greek can proudly stand behind on the Eurovision stage. While “Ferto” has become a fan favourite, I’m not entirely convinced it would shine as brightly at Eurovision when placed alongside other entries — especially compared to Evangelia’s song and her overall capabilities.
Adi Gazal: First Place – Marseaux – “Khánomai”
This year’s Greek national selection offers a wide range of styles — and, admittedly, a wide range of quality levels as well. Only a few performances truly stood out to me, and in my opinion, they have real potential to place Greece on the left-hand side of the scoreboard in this year’s Grand Final.
The one that caught my attention the most is “Khánomai” by Marseaux, a genuinely unique, pop-driven track with a structure that keeps building throughout, leaving you on the edge of your seat. The singer looks fantastic live, and with a slight upgrade in staging, this could easily become one of the more distinctive entries Greece has sent in recent years.
Rachel Geron: First Place – Koza Mostra – ״Bulletproof״
So yes, maybe it’s “Timber” by Pitbull and Ke$ha – in a Nickelback version, but it’s also the only song in this national selection that actually makes me want to hit replay. It’s impossible to sit still once the music kicks in, and the vocal performance is outstanding and irresistibly addictive for anyone who wore black eyeliner in high school… and even for those who didn’t. In my opinion, this is the most interesting song in the lineup, and one that hasn’t been talked about nearly enough.
Maor Heumann: First Place – Akylas – “Ferto”
There are a few decent songs in this national selection, but for me, “Ferto” soars several levels above the rest. It’s a brilliant and infectious anthem for a generation that wants everything, and wants it fast, with a twist that adds a sharp layer of commentary on the illusions we’re sold so we’ll keep fueling a system designed to ensure we’re never truly satisfied. Some have compared it to other humorous entries from recent years, but in my opinion, it surpasses them by far, both lyrically and musically. There’s a reason that ever since the songs were revealed, it’s the only one everyone has been talking about (for better or worse). So let the haters keep hating, we’ll see the excellent Achilleas proudly representing Greece on the stage in Vienna.
Tal Dahan: First Place – Evangelia – “Paréa”
The Greek national selection lost many strong songs in the semi-finals, and unfortunately, the final result now feels rather predictable. I’ve chosen Queen Evangelia, who never stops trying to make her Eurovision dream happen, and I’m truly hoping she succeeds in the coming years. Her entry this year, “Parea,” is fantastic, beautifully blending Greek tradition through both vocals and choreography. The stage performance is powerful, and there’s even a subtle nod to “Hava Nagila”! She doesn’t deserve to be robbed again.
Aviad Berger: First Place – Evangelia – “Paréa”
Honestly, my ranking for the Greek national selection changed several times even before the semi-finals but my top spot belonged to Evangelia from the very beginning. And no, not because of the whole “Hava Nagila” buzz. I genuinely believe this is the strongest song Greece could send if they want to aim as high as possible. It’s energetic, captivating, and distinctive, and I have no doubt it could go far. I also have to give a mention to “Ferto.” At first, I absolutely hated it, but slowly and surely, it climbed up to my second place. If it ends up being selected, it would certainly be an interesting move from Greece. Who knows how far it could go?

Greece at Eurovision 2025
“Asteromáta” (in English: “Eyes of Stars”) is the song performed by Klavdia, who represented Greece in the grand final of Eurovision 2025. Greece qualified to the grand final after finishing fourth in the second semi-final, with 112 points. In the grand final, Greece finished sixth in the grand final with 231 points, finishing eighth in both jury’s & public’s votes.
The sixth place that Greece achieved is considered the country’s best result since 2013 — when it ranked sixth as well.
Eurovision 2026: This will be Greece’s 46th participation in Eurovision. Greece joined the competition in 1974 and achieved its best result in Eurovision 2005 when singer Helena Paparizou won first place with the song “My Number One”.
