Tonight: Greece decides!
Above: 2009 Entry - Sakis Rouvas
Athens, Greece -

Tonight the Greek final takes place with seven acts competing to represent their country at the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Oslo in May. Fans will also be able to watch the Greek final LIVE here on Eurovision.tv!

This year's Greek final has had a lot of attention from both the national media and the international fan scene following the disqualification of two of the participating songs and the possible leakage of the remaining entries.

However, we are now left with seven entries, who tonight at 21:00 CET will fight for the right to represent Greece at the 2010 edition of Europe's favourite TV show to be held in Oslo, Norway.

Thanks to the efforts of one Sakis Rouvas, Greece managed to achieve a respectable seventh place in Moscow last year.

The seven remaining acts are as follows:

  • Christos Hatzinasios - Illusion
  • Sunny Baltzis & Second Skin - Game Of Life
  • Manos Pyrovolakis - Kivotos Tou Noe (Noah's Arc)
  • George Alkaios & Friends - OPA
  • George Karadimos - Polemao (Fight)
  • Melisses - Kinesos (Chinese)
  • Émigré - Touch Me Deep Inside


At the moment George Alkaios & Friends appear to be the slight favourites. However, as we all know, anything can happen!

Remember that the Greek final will be broadcast LIVE right here on Eurovision.tv via our ESCTV Player from 21:00 CET!

Who do you think will win the Greek final? Let us know here!

I cant wait to see the greek final, very soon.

Greece is a great eurovision country, so I dont believe we will get disappointed tonight, or some few more years in the future.

Greece has been great every year from 2004-2009 in my opinion, and maybe after tonight it will be 2004 - 2010, ofcourse if I like it.

Greece made a well done show last year, and heard some rumors that Paula & Ovi, is there, I hope so.

But I know Miro will be there.
Good Luck Greece, You will always get 12 points from Romania
(If not Moldova is in the final. X-D)
