well, i'm part of the "greece should not qualify with this song"-fraction... but i fear it will. because it's greece. things like this really spoil a bit the fun of eurovision, when countries qualify every year whatever they send and others fail even with great songs. but maybe i'm proven wrong in may....

I find this song particularly annoying, even more so than Russia's one. Honestly I don't think they'll qualify for the finals.

I don't get what is so bad in this song? In every yt video it's ranked 25-35th. For me it's like a fresh air after listening to dated cliche ESC songs such as Moldova, Lithuania, Romania...
It's a catchy tune, I like the rap parts (how often do we hear rap in the contest?) I find the chorus catchy and memorable, it's not monotonuous at all...
I love traditional instruments and Greek language used here and there's a message behind. It truly represents Greece, they don't have to write GREECE down the screen because it's obvious. ;) I'd love to see them in the final and I'm sure they will qualify.

Well, tastes differ, and there will always be people who dislike or like certain things. Apparently, many people (including me), dislike this song.

I have a feeling this might be the song that might break Greece's qualification streak.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I love it when a nation's sends something different/ethnic to the contest (especially Greece, after all the ethnopop). But then, those different songs still have to sound good.

And Utopian Land, personally, is kinda meh.

Most people (including me) believe that we won't qualify! I actually like our song but i think it will be a surprise if get to the final. Our semi-final is difiicult.

Yeah it surely won't qualify. If it does it will be against a song like Estonia or Czech Republic that are much better in every way. I don't think anyone in Greece even knows any of these dudes and they can't sing to save their lives unfortunately, hopefully or disqualification means that the greek government will try to democratically choose the next song

They are in spot Nr.2. Apparently the last time they had it, they just got the obligatory 12 points from Cyprus.... Normally I'm not so convinced about the correlation between starting position and qualification, but this time.... who knows...

Still I wouldn't be surprised if Greece is once again in the final....

I just can't see it happening, they're in a very strong semi-final and are very early in the running order. I don't think it'll be memorable enough to get televotes and I can't see the jury supporting it either.

People, you shouldn't forget there are many countries in this semi-final familiar with this sort of ethnic sound (the Balkans, Armenia, Azerbaijan etc) so maybe people will find it close to their own traditional sound. Plus, these 100 million people who watch ESC are very familiar with Greek elements and this kind of sound is maybe what people actually expect to hear from Greece.

For me, this is still at the top of my list from the moment I heard this entry. I don't understand why most fans hate it, but I guess people have different taste and that's totally ok!

I don't hate this entry, but I just think it's too weak to compete for the top ten in this semi-final. It's a bit too repetitive and not in a good way.

It would only be fair if Greece for once fails to qualify ... Their songs get weaker and weaker every year imho.
