Sorry but greece really has no chance to win this year..Plus this song is clearly stolen.. Just check Punjabi Mc "Mundian Bach To Ke" and Timbaland & Nelly Furtado'nun "Give it to me"..it is a combination of these songs and thats why she named it secret combination ...

I like Chrispas song the most.. very good 
I don't like Kostas song at all... and I don't like him either, hehe!
I like all the three singers that will get chosen for greece, but hopefully it will be chrispa.

lol, some themes sound so ridiculous
also I'm wondering why there's no theme about Muslim countries & Eurovision. Or another theme about Arabian countries. Imo, it's really interesting topic.
Just to mention all of the three: I love Chrispas Song most!
But all three are good.
this is so great cangratulations Greece would love be parth of conference ... yes Greece 06 was amazing esc i loved beein there would love back there euharistos Ellada for great show

KALOMOIRA FOR BELGRADE.GOOD LUCK AND LOVE.
Good job Greece, a country who has proved to take the Esc seriously and this is prooved by the huge tv ratings of the contest
