ATHENS – Greeks surveyed about their preference for the country’s entry into the pop kitsch Eurovision contest in May, this year in Liverpool, have given a wide edge to Melissa MantzoukiS’ for her song Liar.

That was shown in a survey of more than 2,000 votes on Eurovision Fun although the choice won’t be made only by them, but also with Greece’s state TV station ERT, with input from a panel of reviewers.

Seven artists are competing four female, two men and a female duet as Greece hopes to get its first win since 2005 when Helena Paparizou triumped with her rollicking song, My Number One.

The song Holy Water by Klavdias was the second leading favorite, followed by What They Say by Victor Vernikos.

The vote of the audience committee counts for 50.6 percent in the final decision for the song that will represent Greece, with the remaining 49.4 percent by ERT’s seven-member artistic committee, a pick imminent.

Mantzouki easily led the poll with 34.56 percent of the votes after showing popularity on social media as well. Her song was put together by a team of Greek and Dutch creators as pure pop dance, the stuff of Eurovision.

“The song is a hymn we could say to the woman, who in all the adversity and challenges of the times, the modern woman has to put up her walls and defenses in all the toxic and transgressive behaviors she has to face,” the site said about it.

The other finalists are Monika with I’m Proud; Antonia Kaouri & Maria Maragou for Shout Out and Konstantina Iosifidou’s We are Young.
