Only thing is it doesn't matter so much how 'good' a country is, it's a political thing now, like everyone knew Russia would win in '08 cos it was their 'turn' and what not.
This makes it extremely hard, almost if not impossible to win off ability and how entertaining their piece is.
I remember Norway was favourite from the start last year, not sure if it was cos Europe deemed it 'that good' or cos it was a nordic country's 'turn'.
Not that I give a fuck who wins if I find a decent artist or two, though that doesn't necessarily always happen...
