Global freezing: Iceland scary 2nd favourites to win Eurovision

This, believe it or not, is the second favourite with the bookies to win Eurovision out of the 25 songs released so far.

Portugal have also gone for the weird and wonderful but commentators will probably coin a phrase that makes the strange noises fit some genre or another. With their tuneful solo victory still fresh in our memories, no-one likes to be rude but I do have to remind you that Portugal came last - in Lisbon - last year.

Sweden's incredibly lengthy process to pick an entry goes on and on but they are down to choosing between two at last so maybe they'll push the likes of Iceland down the rankings soon enough. After all this time, you tend to expect something that is guaranteed to be top 4. From the songs released so far, though, that shouldn't be too tough. I'd even give UK a chance as things stand at the moment.

Worrying times.
