Eurovision Betting Odds 2007: Albania & Andorra

OK, this is it - the moment that you've all been waiting for. This is where we start profiling the runners and riders of the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest with or now-traditional Eurovision betting odds.

From now until the end of time - not really, only a month away; it'll just feel like the end of time - we're going to offer up a couple of countries hoping to win the Eurovision Song Contest, profile them in the most unflinching way we're able to and then throw up some Eurovision betting odds, allowing you to make a big bundle of cash from the result of the final in May. Watching creepy men sing bad songs while dressed in awful clothes has never been so lucrative.

So let's get going - here are the Eurovision betting odds for Albania and Andorra, with help from Paddy Power…

Albania - (pop. 3,582,205; a Mediterranean country in southeastern Europe): Frederic Ndoci, Hear My Plea… 

Sometimes our heart breaks a little for Albania; they're even worse at Eurovision than we are. Last year Albania's Eurovision entry banked all his luck on the funny hat he wore, and this year is hardly better. Frederic Ndoci - seriously, you try and pronounce that surname - who appears to be Albania's leading Al Pacino lookalike, is gunning for victory with Hear My Plea, which sounds a lot like the soundtrack to the sort of erotic thriller that you buy on pirated DVDs from Eastern European men at boot fairs. Probably. "I beg you hear my plea/ The pain, the suffering of today/ Tomorrow's memory" Frederic Ndoci will be lucky if he's anyone's memory ever with weird morose shit like this. Current Eurovision betting odds - 200/1

Andorra - (pop. 70,787; a small landlocked country that is also a principality in southwestern Europe) Anonymous, Salvem El M—n…

Eurovision isn't all about shit male flight attendants offering out blowjobs or women in ceramic dresses singing songs called Bingy Bingy Boo Di Bum Bum, you know - it's also the perfect platform for important environmental messages. Important environmental messages delivered by a supermarket own-brand version of McFly. Important environmental messages delivered by a supermarket own-brand version of McFly from a notorious tax haven singing in Catalan with a horrific punk accent. That's the Andorra Eurovision entry for you; Anonymous - named because that's exactly what these three scrawny emo kids are - singing Salvem El M—n (Let's Save The World). Imagine Sum 41 singing a song about climate change containing the line "The problem seems to be/ That our interests are not the same" and you've got Salvem El M—n by Anonymous. And we hate ourselves for liking it. Current Eurovision betting odds - 50/1
