Bosnia‘s "wizard dinosaur" Dino Merlin- a sort of Val Doonican for the Balkans that looks like your Physics Teacher- is running at 16/1 with a strange, off key anthem whose performance looks like a Golden Wedding anniversary party that’s been gatecrashed by “wacky” RAG students. Peculiar.

Austria (20/1) return to the show after a few years and it’s like the old days of Pop Idol/X Factor winner's singles with all the best bits for your delectation. Dry Ice? 0:46 Check. Gospel Singers? 1:50 Check. Belting key change? 2:15 Check. Andi Peters in a chef's outfit hitting a button to press your first ever CD? 4:41 Check. Nadine has an extraordinarily good live vocal and in a year of otherwise depressing dirge, this'll likely stand out.

Of course you may want to support Ireland (4/1), who’ve eschewed the usual Irish tourist information act for Jedward- the Ghostbusters Malfoy Twins from X Factor. It wouldn't be so bad if the song they're murdering wasn't so good (like a poppier Womaniser) and blatantly originally written for a female vocalist. But it is bad. Really bad. My-little-horse-electrocuted bad. The boys perform the whole thing on CAPSLOCK, with choreography done by an enthusiastic four year old at a wedding, and the effect is mesmerising, horrifying and addictive.

You might want to put your support behind Getta from Estonia (12/1). Rather like Girls Aloud's "Biology", it's a three songs in one number with crazy costumes, break dancing, baton twirling, duster juggling, and a "river of diamonds and pearls" that extraordinarily manages to create a chorus out of the verses of "We didn't start the fire". There’s even a magic trick 30 seconds in!

Who else is playing? There’s the Ukrainian song with a Ming the Merciless impersonator doing odd things with sand and an OHP; a boy from Sweden who’s so sick of Phillip Schofield he SMASHES HIS WAY OUT OF THE CUBE; some terrible beatboxing from Belgium; a subtle number from Belarus called “I love Belarus”; Rick Astley’s cousin from Russia; and “Manband” Blue for us. And a dreadful opera song from France is the favourite.

But our hot outsider tip for Saturday at NUS Towers is Finnish boy “Paradise Oskar”, who sings a smug, folky, infectious pop song about saving the world that begins "Peter is smart, he knows each European country by heart". We doubt he's factored in Azerbaijan.
