Sweden was also favorite every year,and finally won.
So why not Denmark?
Germany & Norway are a big favorite but it has won recently. I can't see Denmark as the winner, every year Denmark is a hot favorite to win and fails (2010, 2011, 2012). I give some chances to Ukraine but not so many. San Marino even if it has the best song, and honestly this year the song of San Marino is just great, it can't win because the people don't vote as we everybody see, for tiny countries, the exceptions are Cyprus & Malta. So I believe that Italy will win this year. The Italian song is extremely different from the previous winner, also the singer is one of the most famous Italians singers, not just in Italy, he's a young singer and if Italy will win, then the contest will gain more popularity in Italy and the ratings will be very high such like San Remo music festival. Maybe Italy will spend some money to host the contest next year, but RAI will gain more money by the high ratings. Also it will be good for the contest, to have a winner from western - Mediterranean Europe. Also with an Italian hosting next year, I will have hopes for the return of Portugal, Bosnia/Herzegovina & maybe Poland to the contest. And if San Marino will qualify to the final, even if it will come last in the scoreboard, I will have hopes for the return of the other tiny countries, Andorra & Monaco.
Yes, Sweden was a big favorite for MANY years (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012), so Denmark has to wait a little...!

I'm afraid your prevision is too rosy... I'm sure ratings could be higher than in 2011 (6,5%) and 2012 (7,5%), but nothing comparable to Sanremo's ratings (47-48%, with peaks of 80% or more during the victory announcements).the singer is one of the most famous Italians singers, not just in Italy, he's a young singer and if Italy will win, then the contest will gain more popularity in Italy and the ratings will be very high such like San Remo music festival.
Denmark won the last time Sweden hosted this though
Sweden was never a pre-favorite in 2007 or 2010

And what if Azerbaijan will win again...? There's a possibility for me, because Turkey, a very big and important country, is missing this year from the contest. If Azerbaijan will host next year the contest, surely Turkey will be in and maybe it will be the answer of TRT's concerns about the "injustices" that the other countries do to the Turkish entries. Of course ESC will loose once again Armenia, although, next year after 2014 will be in again. What do you think about this?
I quite agree on that. Amenia will be out, but Turkey in!
And despite the fact that i don't really much like Azerbaijan's song this year, i have a feeling that it might win the whole thing.
