Euro ’08.
My personal favourite at this year's Eurovision is Bosnia-Herzegovina. David describes it as "Arcade Fire doing Rocky Horror". It won't win but it'll worm its way onto my iPod.
Five other countries of note:
+ Turkey has sent a local version of Manic Street Preaches with a hefty dash of Muse. Niice. A snowball's chance in hell, of course.
+ Azerbaijan is completely batsh*t crazy insane.
+ Sweden is strong as ever and I think it'll go top 3.
+ Israel has possibly the best singer in the competition.
+ Bulgaria is my outside bet. Regardless, it'll be a club hit across Europe this summer.
+ Switzerland is going for the boyband vote (without having a boyband).
Denmark? No. United Kingdom? Possibly too classy.

I love, love, love the Bosnian entry. It didn’t make much sense when I was listening to it without the crazy stageshow, but I get it now. It’s an adorable slice of happy. Plus, I quite liked the lyrics when I saw the translation.
