Yeah, but take a look at Rybak last year. This year will be very hard to predict, and even though i dislike Israel, and don't find Azerbaijan THAT special, they COULD win, who knows.
Sure, Rybak was clear favourite last year, it would have been a surprise if he hadn't won. But I have been to soooo many ESCs, every year people found new favourites during the rehearsals, whilst others collapsed like a house of cards.
One example: only a few people would have set their money on "Molitva". On the other hand Greece was on top for so many people, but after the first rehearsals where Sarbel showed that his ability to sing and perform live was... let's call it "weak", nobody was talking about him anymore.
Or who would have guessed that Finland would win? I remember being in Split the week before travelling to Athens and watching a TV magazine. A few acts were presented, one of them were Lordi. The reporter said "it's nice that Lordi are taking part, but as always, Finland will not even pass to the final".
So... who knows... maybe I can welcome you all in Ljubljana 2011
