I went with Malta, they were so unlucky to miss out in 2002 (and Latvia wasn't even supposed to participate that year originally which makes it all the more painful!) |

Iceland, followed by Malta.
I would think the win would mean more to Malta as the show is so huge there. |

I think my top 3 is similar to the rest:
1. Iceland 2. Malta 3. Cyprus Based on length of time competing, overall effort and highest finishing position. |

I vote for Malta, I always like their entries. I always like to see Iceland do well too.
I'm liking the songs from Hungary a lot in recent years. |

I think there are very slight outside chances of Cyprus or Poland nabbing it this year. Macedonia too.
Basically, next to zero. Though "Fuego" might surprise us I guess
