The 2011 Eurovision Song Contest begins on May 14th from the Esprit Arena in Dusseldorf and it will be the 56th time that the event has been run.
Earlier this month it was revealed that United Kingdoms entry for the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest will be performed by the boy band Blue which has seen the United Kingdom placed 7th in the betting odds for the competition with odds of 16/1. Irelands entry will be supplied by X Factor rejects Jedward who will be performing their song “Lipstick” which sees the boys at odds of 12/1. The favourite however is currently the host nation Germany whose song “Taken by a stranger” is performed by Lena Mayer-Landrut who was the winner of the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest and was the second favourite to win that competition.
As one of the funders of the event the United Kingdom are given an automatic entry to the finals along with France, Germany Italy and Spain. Ireland’s entry Jedward however will have to go through the semi finals to qualify and are at odds of 8/11 to make the Eurovision 2011 Final.
