Who? A Friend In London Country? Denmark Our Thoughts? Well if the leadsinger thinks his hair is going to make him stand out, he's in for a shock when he sees Jedward's mighty quiffs.  Apart from this though New Tomorrow isn't bad, but at the same time isn't great and probably shouldn't have been the first choice for Denmark (they had quite a strong field this year). While it starts off strong and perhaps even stands out as being a bit quirky it soon fades into be a weak anthem kind of song. A sort of Kaiser Chiefs mixed with High School Musical. For our tastes it's a bit too earnest and Bono-ish,which often doesn't sit well with English audiences. It's a protest song ideal that has been done to death.

We've got the full odds below, but it's worth having a look at Jedward first of all. The bookmakers originally offered them at 25 to 1, but as with their X Factor performances, as time went on it looked like they might just do the impossible. The punter we mentioned about put a £5,000 bet on them at 20 to 1. To be honest we'd still take the five grand, but might consider a smaller punt on them before tonight's show. "Over the years there have been some great gambles on the Eurovision but none to match 'Jedmania'.  Both home nations are genuine contenders but a Jedward victory would spark a seven figure payout and we are desperate to see them topple! said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams. Interestingly you can also bet on one of the twins falling over during the performance at odds of 6 to 1 and we reckon that's the safest bet you could ...
