Hungary Artist - Kati Wolf Song - What About My Dreams? Draw - Semi-Final 1, Place 15
Kati Wolf was born in 1974 in Szentendre, Hungary. In 2010, Kati took part in the Hungarian version of the X Factor, making it to the final. At the beginning of 2011, she began working on her solo album. On the 9th March 2011, it was announced that Kati would represent Hungary in this years Eurovision. Her first single, "Szerelem, Miért Múlsz?", which is also the Hungarian version of her song for the ESC, became a huge success immediately.
The song was written by Viktor Rakonczai and Gergő Rácz. It was announced that the song would be sung in english at Eurovision, under the title "What About My Dreams?". Although the song isn't ranked to highly with the bookmakers, it seems to be a very strong favourite with the European public.
Current Betting Odds (William Hill) - 14/1 My Prediction - I think that this is the dark horse of 2011. Definitely top 8.
Betting agents across Europe have been sticking to the same pattern this year when it comes to who they think will be in the top ten.
Unusually, normal Eurovision favourites such as Turkey, Greece and Ukraine, have all been ranked fairly low, with Turkey at 40/1 and with Greece and the Ukraine at a rather suprising 100/1. Also the tope ten is being largly dominated by Western countries this year. Are we starting to see a comeback for the Western nations, after wins from Norway and Germany?
Take a look at the new top ten (William Hill) -
France 5/1 United Kingdom 6/1 Estonia 6/1 Norway 10/1 Azerbaijan 10/1 Bosnia-Herzegovina 10/1 Sweden 12/1 Germany 12/1 Hungary 14/1 Denmark 14/1
Just missing out on the tope ten are Ireland, Russia and comeback nation, Austria.
Yet again, Portugal are dominating the bottom of the leaderboard, with a rather dismal 250/1.
So what do you think of these predictions? Will we be saying Bonjour Paris in 2012??
