Bulgaria

Different. Unlikley winner in a normal competition.

Serbia

You know - they might just do it again.

Georgia

Unlikely but peace message always popular

Malta

This is actually quite good. 17-1

Norway

Another long shot at 19-1

Cyprus

30-1 long shot.

Ireland

Good grief! Don't ask - but remember, Ukraine came 2nd last year with something much worse! Just don't bank on 12 pts from Turkey! Not too sure if the Balkan bloc will really get this. But it's the current 13-2 favourite.

Poland

Here's a good start, especially at 38-1

Isis Gee, presumably not related to Gina G.

Eurovision 08

Here we go again! Andy Abrahams? Do we really see him getting the old douze points from countries whose own entries appear to be a combination of bizarre and second-hand bazaar. No. If only he could. But having borrowed the start of Sydney Youngblood's If Only I Could and merged it with bits of Edwin Starr he may find that any money he does make from success would be whisked away pronto and shared between Syd, Ed with a donation to any surviving members of The Chiffons who deserved more from George.

I'd have gone for the Revelations' catchy and timeless bit of fun, the best of a seriously poor bunch. Now to start looking at what's worth putting some money on elsewhere.
