Russia finally to hear wedding bells?

With Eurovision rehearsals starting tomorrow in Belgrade, there has been a dramatic change in the bookies' predictions for the 2008 winner since we last looked. Ireland has dropped to 6th place with Russia now assuming the position of favourite.

Russia is the eternal-bridesmaid-never-bride of the Eurovision, having been placed in the top three in the last two grand finals and otherwise finishing strongly but never yet actually winning. This year Russia is represented again by Dima Bilan watch who also represented Russia in Eurovision Athens in 2006 with an memorable act which involved a ballet dancer emerging from a piano mid-song.
