The Netherlands is sitting in the bottom half of the draw with the book makers with this years Eurovision entry. It is country crap. I am sure that there are people that like it but it puts me to sleep.

Azerbaijan want to “Start a Fire”, which is a power ballad. The title is not to be confused with the tag line from when Azerbaijan hosted Eurovision in 2012 which was “Light your fire”. Azerbaijan is known as the “Land of Fire”, which is better than being in the ring of fire is guess. This song is not exactly on fire though

Estonia will appear in Eurovision for the 20th time in 2014. This year they are sending a Russian born starlet who has tried to her hand at competitions and festivals in Russia, the Ukraine, Latvia and Estonia. I think Estonia are targeting the former soviet vote...

Armenia are the hot favourite this year with an epic movie theme style ballad. Even as the odds lengthened recently after some inappropriate comments intended as humour, Armenia remained favourite. What's all the fuss, eh?

San Marino have never qualified for a final in Eurovision but you have to question whether they intend to. Are they only there to give Italy votes? If that's the case they are failing because they average around 8 points per Eurovision for Italy with only 4 points granted to Italy last year. That's cause for trade embargoes or something isn't it.

Ukraine are a top ten favourite this year and they should qualify for the final, they always do. The politics may have an effect on the voting with the west possibly giving votes in lieu of Russia, kinda like money into the country now and during the Orange Revolution. There is no Politics in Eurovision though

Portugal have not only never won a Eurovision, but they have never finished in the top 5. The Highest Portugal has got has been 6th in 1996. This year doesn't have a chance to get even that.

Russia have decided to send an act with a history of winning Eurovision, however it was actually Junior Eurovision. I wonder if they will be wearing the same dresses they wore when they were 9. It may sound too short for 17 year olds, but this is Eurovision.

Sweden is a favourite this year and if they win it will be their sixth gong, still one behind Ireland but very impressive. They are also sending a artist who has attempted to be Sweden's representative 7 times. All big numbers in Eurovision, but the only big numbers that matter are on stage
