Eurovision 2025: First Impressions and Betting Odds on Contest Entries

The Eurovision 2025 song selection process has already begun, with most participating countries having chosen their entries. Now, all delegations will focus on promoting their songs as much as possible. Klavdia, representing Greece, remains consistently optimistic about not only making it to the grand final but also achieving a strong position. Janny Kanellopoulou, head of public relations for OGAE, commented on the songs of Eurovision 2025 that have been released so far in an interview with Mega TV’s “You Haven’t Seen Anything Yet!” discussing the famous annual betting odds that shape the competition atmosphere. She noted that the BBC has banned Malta’s song from radio play, while Finland’s entry is considered one of the best so far. Belgium’s song is described as a firework that never exploded, Spain’s entry is seen as outdated, and Ireland’s might get lost among the 30 songs on the Eurovision stage. Regarding Greece’s participation, she praised Klavdia’s complete and powerful track, stating that her presence can effectively communicate the message to the audience. Despite early betting odds suggesting Loreen might not make the final, Kanellopoulou emphasized these are not representative and it’s too early to speculate. Greek participant Kostas Karafotis, who competed in Greece’s national final with ‘Paradeisos,’ expressed his support for Klavdia, hoping she secures a top spot. He added that if the song were good enough, he would consider returning to Eurovision.
