The 2006 Eurovision Song Contest is continues to barge its way towards us like some kind of demented glitter tramp drunk on alcopops, and we're still doing our Eurovision betting odds.
This year, the Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Athens, a city where the soldiers wear frocks and metal shoes, kind of like pretty horses. Since Celine Dion has taken part in Eurovision, this is apt – after all, Celine Dion looks like a pretty horse. But not as pretty.
Here are the latest Eurovision Betting odds for Lithuania and Malta, with help from PaddyPower.com…
Lithuania (pop. 3,607,899; a republic in northeastern europe) LT United, We Are The Winners. What a smart idea the Lithuanians have had – writing a song called We Are The Winners to try and brainwash the Eurovision voters. The idea for this must have come from Lithuania's failed 1992 experiment; a song called Don't Vote For Us, We're Shit. The chorus for We Are The Winners – hand on heart – goes "We are the winners of Eurovision/ We are, we are! We are, we are!/ So, you gotta vote./ Vote, vote for the winners." LT United are a supergroup made of every famous person in Lithuania, or something – a ploy which must only be impressive to other Lithuanians. Current Eurovision betting odds – 100/1
Malta (pop. 399,867; a small and densely populated island nation in Southern Europe) Fabrizio Faniello, I Do. We don't like Fabrizio Faniello. He has a soul patch – one of those ridiculous semi-beard chin worm things that only arseholes have. He's very popular in Malta, we hear, but then so are biscuits the size of a book. I Do, Fabrizio Faniello's Eurovision 2006 effort, is all about a man desperately kidding himself that his girlfriend left him for a reason other than his stupid little beard. Current Eurovision betting odds – 40/1
We’ll be listing all the other Eurovision entries in the run-up to the contest. If you can’t wait, check out the Novelties section of Paddypower to see all the latest Eurovision betting odds. Don't forget that Paddypower give you a free £10 bet when you open an account with them. Good luck!

You wish you look like Fabrizio you Gaylord.If you are a female you wish your ugly father or brother looks like him not like a wizard as they look now you cowface.
Jessica says
Please note that, most probably, Fabrizio is the only guy in Malta who still has a soul patch. Although I must say it balances out his face quite nicely and it is in context with his eyebrows. As for biscuits, most of the biscuits we buy are imported.So there!
As for Fab’s popularity in Malta…isn’t Bill Clinton also popular in the US for all the wrong reasons….. if you catch my drift.
Finally, to the dude who has tried to get his own back at your insulting Fabrizio: Please, please, please shurrrrup or get some English lessons, you’re making us Maltese look even more pathetic!
pesisa zobbi says
Please note that us Maltese can speak and write the english language! Jessica if you want to give me English Lessons try to learn it better yourself. Fabrizio is a nice guy and to note that in Malta we have Machos and latin blood lovers not like most of the northern country men who love there beer more than a woman.That’s why they come to Malta to get our men!!! Probably That is why some countries do not vote for Malta because they are jealous for what we achieve. So do not try to correct my language as i speak as I like. Frustrata!!!!!!!!!!! Come on Fabio go for it !!!!!!!!!!! Wish you the best make us more proud of you as you Represent the maltese guys .xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

pesisa zobbi…… YOU ARE PATHETIC AND A SHAME FOR THE HUMAN RACE!!
Eva says

Ezuss says
Think, that lithuania have 100/1 chance? ha! Paddypower will bancrupt:D I want to counter Stuart’s opinion: “WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!” Lithuania’s first performance in ESC was in 1994, so what are you talking about “we are shit” in 1992?! arsehole!!! sorry for swearing:/ thank you for understanding me
ido says
you athens people i’m from malta and i wanted to tell you that you are so jealous of our fabrizio. if you dont know you think you know everything but instead you dont know anything fabrizio had a problem with the microphone ( sound). and instead of being happy with the spider cam you have to repair the sound instead not leaving everything as it was because of you jealousy.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Monique says
That is really funny. Malta sucked, but Lithuanians were the best. At least among people who have a sense of humour and irony. Though it was very sad to see people in Greece who were totally humourless and truculent. Are you one of them?
I love Lithuanians, they are the best *)
wee! says
LITHUANIAN ARE THE BEST!!!!!! I liked them song! it was the best and the most funny i’ve ever seen!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!! :)
Gilles says
Really funny to read your assessment after the contest…….. Lithuanians were the best and, considering the dirty tricks between some countries, their 6th place is a real success!
THEY ARE THE WINNERS!!!
paul - Lithuania says
Never ever in your life make any predictions about Eurovision. 100/1? Man, you suck, sorry for the word. BUT DON’T DARE MAKING ANY GUESSES IN FUTURE. Coz We Are The Winners Of Eurovision… we are we are
lynn says
lithunia song was very ugly!!!!! and they said that they are the winners of the eurovision but they aren’t!!!!! fabrizio faniello has many fans to support him.. and i am one of them!!!!! fabrizio you’re so great!! love you!!!!!
xxxxxxxxxx
Steph says
oh and for Paul-Lithuania,
Shut the hell up,
Your song sucked a lot,
“WE ARE THE WINNERS OF EUROVISIONNN”
thats all they said,
i think it’s better if they said ‘WE ARE THE LOSERS OF EUROVISION”
which in fact you are
:))
and even a 3 year old could sing a stupid song like that
Harley says
“We are the winners of Eurovision”
Genious, go Lithuania!!!
You rock…
i think you 100/1 was a bit off,
“don’t vote for us, we’re shit” you obviously haven’t done your research
What is your problem with Lithuania?
they rock!
Peter says
I believe that those who wrote all articles are beyond the critics. Before the Eurovision the article is full of critics:
“LT United are a supergroup made of every famous person in Lithuania, or something – a ploy which must only be impressive to other Lithuanians. Current Eurovision betting odds – 100/1”
After Eurovision, your minds change up-side-down!!!
“It’s an undeniable fact that last year’s Lithuanian Eurovision entry – We Are The Winners – wasn’t just one of the best Eurovision songs ever, or one of the best songs ever, but the best noise that planet Earth has ever created. We have it on our iPod. Seriously.”
……. Isn’t it funny!!! I believe everybody will agree ……. everything is very subjective!

Stumbled on this page two years late, seems like a cruel destiny, as I’m part of the silent majority of Maltese who loathe the Eurovision.
