Please, this is like militaries refighting the last war. Monsters worked once. Hot chicks, especially with whips and flamethrowers even worked twice. That’s because they are inherently sexy.

But this year you need something new. I say, the year of the young beautiful girl singing of love and pain in her heart has returned. Norway should have run last years’ act this year.

If I had to place a bet: Bosnia

“Best song” here being a relative term, of course.

The winners from Eastern Europe would have won each year even if you only counted the votes from the Western Countries - so it’s not just neighbourly voting that has led to the victories, they were the most popular songs each year across the continent.

It will be interesting to see what happens when a western European country puts in a song that is good enough to pick up top marks from the other Western European countries - will the Eastern countries continue to vote for their neighbours or will they vote for the best song?

Doug, you’re right, the “Greece gives Cyprus 10 points, and Cyprus gives Greece 10 points” phenomenon has really caught on. Particularly in Eastern Europe.

And, yes, the Eurovision might be killing the idea of ethnic Albania, but lets hope that it won’t continue creating a greater divide between Eastern and Western Europe — i.e. Eastern and Western neighbours literally swapping points.
