I know how to pick 'em!
Norways Eurovision entry has received more comments than any other entry so far tenfold. Everyone is saying winner already. Alexander Rybak had to release a press statement thanking for everyones praise of 'Fairytale' but reminding us that the decision is still 11 weeks away and a lot can change.

Unless Ukraine or Russia pulls another great entry out of the bag, I think we do have a winner. Judging by the previews online, I don't see Spain or Sweden matching the talent.

Last year EVERYONE knew 6 months before that Russia would win. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy. I however picked Ukraine to come close, and they did - they came 2nd when no-one else thought they would. Everyone was tipping Armenia instead.

I'm saying top 10 -
Norway
maybe Ukraine
Azerbaijan
maybe Russia
Turkey
Iceland
Greece
Malta
UK
Finland

Some people are thinking it could be the year of the Scandis - Norway, Iceland, Finland - maybe Sweden depending on what they pick - then Denmark. What a top 5! It what certainly f*ck up all those who think only Eastern Europe can win.

I'm not denying there is a definite bloc voting going on that influences results, but I think its overstated. If you put forward a great song and do a fantastic performance, you'll get votes no matter what country you are.
