EUROAlfa Panel is back! This year, 8 of our members will rate and comment on every single entry in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest! Today’s country is Greece, represented by Akylas with his song “Ferto” 🇬🇷

1️⃣ Raul: FERTO MOU FERTO MOU FERTOOOO — Greece is coming STRONG!!!🔥 This is one of the only two songs I keep replaying constantly — a potential winner for me! I absolutely love the whole vibe, the performance is so cute and captivating. I’m expecting it to place high, not sure how high, but I’m really hoping for a Top 3… why not even the winner?! 🐈‍⬛🧡

Grade: 10/10

2️⃣ Reza: This is my winner of the season and, ultimately, a genius song. First of all, I really love the message behind it. The lyrics are very touching, even though the beat might hide that at first. I also love the ballad section addressed to his mother, which is very effective and emotional. I really love his infectious energy, and he radiates good vibes and positivity, which is a perfect fit for Ferto. The song is very catchy, easy to sing along to, and memorable. It really has all the elements needed to keep you entertained for the full three minutes. I also love the Greek traditional elements in it. His vocals are also stable, and he is very capable of delivering a confident performance. The structure of the song is very interesting as well, and it keeps you captivated, always waiting for more. All in all, this is the only song that truly impressed me from start to finish. Will it win Eurovision? Maybe, maybe not, but one thing is certain: this is an amazing entry. My only criticism is that he somehow delivered the song even better in the first video, where it was just him and a microphone. I feel like that was the moment when everyone fell in love with him. His performance at Sing for Greece felt a bit like a step back compared to the way he delivered the song initially. If he can give us a more energetic performance in May, then I will be 100% satisfied.

Grade: 10/10

3️⃣ Florin: An amazing entry this year from Greece. I love the sound and the visuals, and basically everything about this just works for me. Akylas is a great performer, he can put on a show and I am sure Ferto will be in the top 5, maybe even a possible winner if the jury doesn’t place him too low.

Grade: 10/10

4️⃣ Stefania: An absolute standout, this is the kind of entry that instantly grabs attention and doesn’t let go. It delivers both emotional punch and explosive dynamics with effortless confidence, making it a clear top-tier contender.

Grade: 10/10

5️⃣ Laur: Guilty pleasure. This is what Eurovision is about if you want all eyes on you. It’s the kind of song that instantly lifts your mood and gives you everything you expect from the contest.

Grade: 10/10

6️⃣ Titi: FERTO FERTO, Greece is giving us a BANGER! The song is really cool—funny and catchy at the same time. It has all the elements needed for a song that can score points from both the juries and the televote. Akylas has a unique energy and a great stage presence that really makes him stand out. The song will steal a lot of points from the televote, and the emotional part at the end completes the whole package perfectly. Greece has been a real powerhouse lately, and I can already see a victory for them. Kali epitichia, Ellada!

Grade: 10/10

7️⃣ Nella: I AM OBSESSED WITH FERTOOOOOOO.Everything – his attitude, vocals, dance, and the song embody some social struggles that we’ve all seen before. Greece is back as a powerhouse over the last 2 years, and I am all for it! I could see this winning the televote if…you know who takes the lead or not. We shall see it in May.

Grade: 10/10

8️⃣ Mircea: I love this one! A very catchy song that can bring Greece back in the top 5 I would say. Akylas is a great performer and he has a beautiful voice and personality. I see this doing great with the televotes and possibly with the juries if you ask me.

Grade: 10/10
