John And Edward Or Nadine Coyle Could Represent Ireland At Eurovision 2010 According To Latest Betting Odds Tuesday 27 October 2009 at 15:18 John and Edward from X Factor and Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle are on the shortlist to represent Ireland at the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest but neither are favourite according to Paddy Power’s Eurovision 2010 Betting Odds.
Imelda May Is The Favourite To Beat John And Edward As People’s Choice
The favourite to sing for Ireland a year after they failed to reach the finals is Imelda May, she can be backed at 6/1 with Paddy Power. For those who don’t recognise the name, Imelda May is a Dublin born female vocalist who specialises in Rockabilly music. She is just ahead of X Factor duo John and Edward who are 8/1 with Paddy Power. They are exactly the sort of gimmick who does well at Eurovision but it is unclear whether or not everyone would get the joke.
Major Acts Linked With Representing Ireland
Other big name acts linked with Ireland’s Eurovision challenge include B*Witched who are 14/1 with Paddy Power, Kandy Rain who are 16/1 with Paddy Power and Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle who is 20/1 with Paddy Power.

Norway
Norway are the early Eurovision Odds favourite with a slower more thoughtful ballad than the Alexander Rybak Fairytale which was triumphant at Eurovision last year in Moscow.

Azerbaijan
Safura represents Azerbaijan with the song Hear I Am which is very similar to lots of other Eurovision songs from the past few years. However she may do well and has been supported in the betting.
Bet £20 - Get £60
Ireland
Two very poor years and two very poor songs from the normally entertaining and competitive Irish.
Niamh Kavanagh who won for the Emerald Isle in 1993 with In Your Eyes has been chosen to represent Ireland.
Bet £20 Get £40
Russia
Russia have chosen Peter Nalitch and Band to represent them at Eurovision 2010. A folky tune Lost and Forgotten sounds like a communist workers song.
Bet £20 Get £40
Belgium
Tom Dice sings Me and My Guitar in the style of James Blunt for Belgium. Unlikely to put Belgium on the Eurovision map despite being towards the head of the betting.
Bet £20 Get £40
Denmark
In A Moment like this is the Danish song for Eurovision 2010 performed by the hand holding Chanee & Tomas Nevergreen. A typical Eurovision song that will be well received in Norway, a good bet.

Germany
This song has a good chance and is at least one of the most original songs in the competition. Reminiscent of Lily Allen and Amy Macdonald, if the Euro Zone get it Lena Meyer and Satellite could well win Eurovision 2010 for Germany. Back it each way today.
Bet £20 Get £40
Croatia
Girl group Feminnem are the choice to fly the flag for Croatia in Eurovision 2010. The song is Lako Je Sve and they do a preety good job.
Bet £20 Get £40
Romania
Playing With Fire is the entry for Eurovision 2010 from Romania by Paula Seling and Ovi. This Eurovision song is fancied by a lot of Eurovision forums.
Bet £20 Get £40
Iceland
The song title is French yet Hera Bjork sings in English and represents Iceland. Her country could do with some good news and this may be one of the more commercial entries.
Bet £20 Get £40
Switzerland
Michael Von der Heide sings for Switzerland, the song is ok but the Swiss do not win much and that is unlikely to change at Eurovision 2010
Bet £20 Get £40
UK
The Your Country Needs You show decided that newcomer Josh Dubovie will represent the UK at Eurovision 2010. He will be singing the Pete Waterman/Mike Stock written "That Sounds Good To Me", unfortunately it dosent.
