In the space of just one week, the class of 2020 almost doubled. And while everyone was caught up in Icelandic conspiracy theories and Balkan weather phenomenons, one act snook up the centre to take top spot in our poll — Greece’s Stefania.
Stefania is your favourite Eurovision 2020 act so far
In less than 24 hours, a massive 16,305 votes were cast. And of those, 2,623 went Stefania’s way. All in all, the “Superg!rl” took 16.09% of all votes cast.
After two weeks in pole positon, Lithuania’s The Roop must make do with number two. In fact, the “On Fire” group weren’t that far off making it three turns on top. But 2,158 votes just wasn’t enough.
Also dropping one spot is Albania’s Arilena Ara. The “Shaj” songstress attracted 2,024 votes or 12.41% of all votes cast.
Romania is the second-highest of the new entries. Roxen sits at fourth with “Alcohol You”. She’s the last act to receive a four-figure vote — 1,281.
The top five is completed by viral sensation Daði & Gagnamagnið with “Think About Things”. The Icelandic group took 977 votes or 5.99% of all votes cast.
At the other end of the table is Slovenia’s Ana Soklič with “Voda” and Moldova’s Natalia Gordienko with “Prison”. They got 104 and 103 votes respectively.

Switzerland? Anyone?
Stefania uploaded the poll on her instagram story…so….that’s why she got the 1st place…but don’t act like this song is a crap song…it’s just a good song with highs and lows…a sick beat with some low points…but a very good beat
My current Top 10
1. Italy
2. Lithuania
3. Croatia
4. Romania
5. Spain
6. Norway
7. Ukraine
8. Czech Republic
9. Slovenia
10. United Kingdom
I don´t like Germany and Iceland is so far only mediocre for me.
The worst songs are Poland, Serbia and Moldova.
hmm, I like Poland song, hope it gets to final.
I love all top 4 songs
I think the pollsters go with a mix of good mainstream and cultural Eurovision songs. Whether less Eurovision fanatical fans prefer acts like Albania and Lithuania over the big five remains to be seen. Staging in Rotterdam is going to be even more important so I think some of the lower rated songs will rise inevitably.
Second sentence *having said that the vote is wide open and not everyone has a favourite yet.
Greece and Albania in top3 ?
I prefer more Italy, Lithuania, Croatia…
Me too !!!
There are other good song as UK and Romania too.
This is not Balkan ballad and its not generic. The only thing what is generic is your comment saying that is generic balkand ballad.
It is ballad, but POP BALLAD, classical with harmony. And its not generic, its timelase. You might understand Croatian fully but apperently you dont understand meanings.
Anyway, you might not like it, but hey at least try to educate yourself about music before writing nonsense.
Albania as usual very high at such polls. Don‘t know why albanian people (same goes for italian and spanish) have to hype their own songs as hell.
Italian? Really? We don’t used to hype our song as other country do every year!
I’m pretty sure the Italy votes are legit. Italy tends to be a favourite for a lot of people every year, including myself. They simply always deliver.
Italian… what you based on your opinion? Last year for example Italian didint need to vote for Mahmood as all Europe done that!
I’ve come to realise that with these ‘vote for your favourite Eurovision act so far’ polls, the most recent song to have just come out always seems to win. Don’t take these weekly polls too seriously people. Wake me up when March & April ends…. 🙂
Next year, I want to see Greece representing by the band! I saw one of the band members last years Greek spokesperson, so I want that band to represent Greece in Eurovision 2021 so badly after Stefania!
Are you talking about Gus G and the band Firewind?
Yup!
That’d be glorious but sadly I don’t think it’ll happen anytime soon.
I like Croatia song, especially singer
agree. Croatia is amazing. I will vote and I hope it goes to final
I agree with you as well. Great voice and performance!
This for sure is a joke and not real lol no one voted that to number 1
This is for sure not a joke. Lithuania and Greece has at the moment the best songs.
I am hoping anybody with a sensible brain ignores this article.
ajajjaja talks the one with no brain.!!! this is called music taste. and everyone has its own. So teach some basic things to your brain about humanity. No Greek is dealing with Eurovision right now. Stefania has Fans in Netherlands too. so pls just move your head
Seriously Arilena where’s your revamp?
Greece is Albania 2.0 as of now.
She is too child. ESC smoothly turning in JESC.
Stop it. Get some help.
The biggest surprises of this poll for me are:
Australia all the way down at 11 (disappointingly) and the UK all the way up at 12 (pleasantly).
Semi Final 1 is going to be such a bloodbath. I really hope Ukraine goes to the Final. It looks like there will be some really good or fun songs not surviving SF1 and that is such a shame because SF2 is still looking comparatively much weaker.
Ok guys I’m greek and I know I was “aggresive” on supergirl’s article but even I know that the poll was rigged by Greeks, it happens every year. Yeah the song I believe could win but from the comments I saw (which are not even 1% of total eurovision viewers) it would end up between 10th-15th. Ukraine is still my number 1, the song just makes me feel like such a badass lol
I don’t think the poll was rigged at least not by the Greeks. Don’t forget that Stefania was born in the Netherlands and has fans there.
P.S. Let’s not kid ourselves, that song can’t win. I like Stefania, she’s lovely but the song is weak.
Maybe in your opinion the song can’t win but let’s wait until May to see the opinion of all 200+ million viewers.
We shall see. I insist that it won’t win but if the performance is flawless it could get into top 10.
Greece is way better than overrated Iceland and Lithuania that they are both joke entries like Ukraine 2008
It’s because Ani Lorak beat Kalomira with only 12 points to get the second spot, lol. He’s salty.
I think he probably meant Ukraine 2007 – Verka, not Ani Lorak
Why Poland so high? It’s average at best
It’s 15th on a poll of 24 songs.
That is the very DEFINITION of average. 😉
Poland is terrible.
Are you idiot? Her song is amazing
Her song is amazing idiot
Not for long AHAH. Soon Russia’s Little Big is your new favourite Eurovision 2020 act until the final.
Little big sucks. A troll band that only knows to mix weird cringe random sound all together
Ya the poll was rigged. Greece was really low on the poll but suddenly jumped to new heights…
Yeah, maybe Russian bots rigged this poll too. [eyeroll]
Greece was never low in the poll!
I was one of the very first people that voted and they were first with Lithuania with 15 votes.
stop trying to spread fake news she was high up on the poll all the way through
TASTEFUL TOP 3
Of course it is!! Good luck Stefania!!!
Although i dont believe its a winner, Greece can pull a switzerland 2019 card, their song is as catchy as she got me. Live perfomance will elevate or break this
I am a middle age gay man so for sure I am not the target group of the Greek entry. Its more an entry for kids among 15 to 25 and for parents like my mother that loves both the song and especially this beautiful girl that could be the daughter she (thinks) she never had 🙂
For all the above reason I would not be surprised if Greece wins the entire thing this year.
People usually are too harsh when they dont like a song, talking aggressively negative, so nice to see you respect it even tho u dont enjoy it and giving a reason behind. Good job sir
They have good stage potential
Cool, I like Greece’s song… my favorite is a tie actually, between Germany and Ukraine. Belarus, Greece, and Lithuania are very good as well. My top ten is shaping up, but 17more songs to go so I expect some shaking up XD
It’s a good song. Wouldn’t call it a winner, but for Greece it’s definitely a step in the right direction. Lithuania is still my favorite.
Correction : Greece’s Stefania is GREEKS new favourite Eurovision 2020 act so far.
If this is the case why wasn’t Greece number 1 last year? or the year before? or in 2017?
In fact, due to political tentions with Turkey not a lot of Greeks know about the song, its not even trending on YouTube
Because for some reason youtube doesn’t recognize it ass Greek song
If you don’t like Greek people it’s ok it’s your opinion but you tired us.Every post same comments
I don’t understand how the bookings have underrated Greece that much.
I will not be surprised at ALL if she manages to win the whole thing and take Eurovision to Athens next year.
I suspect the main reason the bookies don’t rate Greece higher is because we have yet to hear a live performance of the song. Sure, it sounds great on tape, but how well can she sing it live?
-.-
It is a BOP!Great,upbeat,ethnic song of high quality!!!!
