Almost the same with me, but I have in the back of my mind that Krystallia might not win, and I'd say if not her then Freaky Fortune would be decent. Just not the other two.
Btw, there will be 50/50 televoting/jury?

Probably, just like every year!
I am afraid that the televoters will go for Martakis and if the jury places him quite high then... :?

I think he will have the "backing" of Koza Mostra too, and this might have an impact. But as I saw, many fans of him were disappointed from this song. Anyway, I really don't know what the jury will vote for. It depends on who will be in the jury. And let's see which song will get more support from the media. The record companies will play their role here too.
I think everything will be open, it will be a fight between Martakis, Krystallia and Freaky Fortune. Josephine is the big outsider and nothing can save her IMO.

Yeah, the song is 100% for Greek lyrics, I don't think they'd even consider to have an English version of it.
It's really not the best in its genre (there are many much better entehno songs) but for me it's definitely the best of these 4.
After listening to them again, I find Freaky Fortune's one very catchy and instant too. I think what I said above that I'd prefer Martakis' song for ESC is abandoned. Because listening to Martakis' song again was kinda torture. His voice sounds very bad in such song. Not that it sounds good in other songs, but at least in songs of his style, he sings more freely. In this song, it sounds like he's singing while he's being strangulated.2

Like me!
I want the best choice for Greece, I have a strange bound with Greek culture and I don't know why.
Go Krystallía!

My prediction is that Crystallia is going to be 1st on juries and 2nd or 3rd in televoting and the same for Freaky Fortune but in reverse,so for me is battle for 2.
Expect!!! if they want to help Martakis and finish him 1st in juries.

Krystallia's song sounds like I should like it, but it's just average. Perhaps I'll warm up to it, because it sounds like it could be good. :?
I expected more from Kostas Martakis, but the song is boring. Dancing Night is one of the worst things from a NF this far.
This leaves Freaky Fortune, who could certainly give Paula&Ovi et al a lesson about how to send modern songs to ESC. This is something I'd expect to hear on a late night somewhere - sadly only late in the night, because the song isn't all that strong, but having this in the contest just might show the average viewer that there's a possibility to see songs like this in ESC. It's not the best example for a song of this genre, far from it, but it's all right, and from this selection and as something rather current, I'd like to see it representing Greece.
Alcohol is Free was better than any of these, but it seems like Greece has finally got out of the seemingly endless Sakis/Sarbel/Kalomira/Eleftheria style, which is a huge positive.

I agree with everything you said there. What you said about Freaky Fortune's song could be said for Krystallia's song as well. It's not the best of its genre, but ESC hasn't seen anything of this particular genre from Greece since I don't even remember (it's quite similar style with the Greek entry in 1995) but there are many songs of this style in Greece that are far better. Still, I'd love to see it in ESC, because it offers something from Greek artistic-pop which wasn't heard in ESC for long time. And I'm sure Krystallia will perform it very well live, her appearances in the show "Your face sounds familiar" when she was asked to "imitate" singers of this style were convincing. Her voice sounded great in this type of songs.
And I do agree with what you said about Freaky Fortune's song as well. It's very well produced and modern. I just wait to see how it will be performed live. Their singer was in the Greek X Factor 2 (believe it or not, he was the singer of the band of Pale Faces, that dude with the eyeglasses) but he changed a lot, especially the way he moves on stage (back then he was moving like someone at a gay club trying to imitate the moves of Justin Timberlake
) but I remember his live vocals were OK and he surely improved them as he changed his style completely now.

Most dislikes in Martakis' video are from Greeks I guess. Because most negative comments are from Greeks as well. I'm confident now that he won't win. I hope the juries won't help him either...
