Fun fact about Greece's artist: Victor Vernicos is the first Greek artist in Eurovision that was not born when Greece won back in 2005!
Greece has turned the page a few years ago and keeps digging for gold in artists that are not widely known by the public and media but have something to say with their music leaving behind the days of folk/stereotypical pop.
'What They Say' is not your typical Greek entry but I do not know if this is a good or a sad thing.
It could have been an entry that could participate in any of the Nordic national finals or any western European final and this is not a good thing neither.
The main problem in my view is that Victor is trying to oversell a song that does not suit his age.
Could the younger audience or the mothers buy it? If yes, Greece is sailing to the Final. The allies are there as well to guarantee 25-30 points and Greece has a good chance to make it.
The odds imply that they might be in danger and of course we need to see it on stage, but my gut says that we will see Greece on Saturday.
It reminds me of...
Spain '21, Estonia '21, Belgium '19
Televoting Potential: 6.5/10
Jury Potential: 6.5/10
Staging Potential: 6/10
Momentum: 6/10
My Opinion: 6/10
Total: 31/50
What the fair winning chance % would be?
0.001% - 0.01%
Best case scenario:
Qualify to the Final and avoid Bottom-5
Worst case scenario:
Fail to qualify
To Qualify or Not to Qualify? That's the question.
60%-70% chance to qualify
What do I see in my crystal ball?
Greece will qualify to the Final and there they will be used as a filler sandwiched between two heavy favourites leading to near Bottom-5 result that will be avoided thanks to the 35-50 guaranteed points from friends and allies.
