NONE of them!!
Kalomira >> I just can't see the judges going for that thrashed 'cutsie, girly' theme - with boring, predictable lyrics & no power in the vocals. Could be wrong - but certainly not creative or lively enough, for an International audience.
Martakis >> hmmm ... song and sound might have caught on in the 80s and 90s - but not now. Boring, uninspiring music & lyrics - the singer comes across as a newby.
Chrispa >> nice voice but the chorus isn't dynamic enough, it just --- doesn't blow you away (fails to capture ur attention).
And Theodi >> wow, the lyrics are captivating and funny. Very clever & witty - - good satire, sending up Eurovision like that, Greek-style ("and I will sing the Griiiks I noou - so I can get the maaani and goou"). And the best thing - is that the song is performed in Greek, finally representing the nation's language and many cultural elements (the good, the bad and - - - not so great). Unfortunately, the singer lacks quality visual and vocal performance (and general appeal - to the wider, more savvy audience). Perhaps if the same song was jazzed up a bit more, mixing the beats in the right spots, and performed by someone with a breath-taking voice & presence - - who knows. 
???
There are so many incredible, wonderful, talented artists throughout Greece - who are getting very little exposure or support from the music industry, media moguls & major radio stations over there (in recent years). They're just going to waste. Meanwhile, those selected as potential entrants for Eurovision just keep getting worse. Who are these people or committees that select such finalists ?  
(Paparizou was the exception - hers was an amazing, lively, professional performance & a great triumph for Greece).

Βρήκες ακατάλληλη στιγμή να με ανταμώσεις. Eγώ δεν έχω τίποτα, πάλι σου το θυμίζω. Mια καρδια μου έμεινε ♥ παρ’την, σου την χαρίζω. Δεν έχω όνειρο, ούτε φτερά για να πετάξω ...
