Eurovision Betting Odds: Ruslan Alehno, Belarus

by Stuart Heritage

Eurovision Betting Odds Belarus Ruslan Alehno Hasta la VistaReady for week two of our Eurovision betting odds? Oh, of course you are you big tease, don't pretend like you're not.

Last week we stormed through all the Eurovision countries beginning with A, which we've come to learn stands for 'appalling'. But this week we're looking at the B countries and a C country. Will they be as rubbish? Actually, no - you'll get to hear about our favourite Eurovision song this week. But we have to plough through this crap first.

So here are the Eurovision betting odds for Belarus, with help from Paddy Power:

Belarus - (pop. 10,310,520; a landlocked nation of eastern Europe): Ruslan Alehno, Hasta La Vista

Although it might not appear it at first, Hasta La Vista by Ruslan Alehno is actually the result of years of scientific experiments. The question that sparked off the experiments, like you need to be told, was 'what happens if you take Ben from Lost, give his hair a good old GHDing and force him to sing an Enrique Iglesias b-side about the catchprase of a futuristic fighting robot that's been sent back in time to protect a child?' And the conclusion is quite clearly 'a bit of a mess.' It doesn't help that Hasta La Vista sounds exactly the same as all the other Eurovision songs this year, or that whoever wrote it seems to think that 'glass' rhymes with 'discuss' - but the real problem is Ruslan Alehno himself. He makes Hasta La Vista sound like a bad karaoke version of itself, which we suppose is actually a good thing, because if we hear anyone actually singing a real karaoke version of Hasta La Vista, the next thing their microphone will be amplifying is the sound of their own small intestine.
