Among this year's entries, the one to reach fame in the Southern hemisphere is likely to be Believe again, by Brinck, who competed for Denmark. Cover versions have just been released in Australia and South Africa.

Jon Knapman, esctoday member, writes: "Aged 24, Orianthi is of Greek ancestry and has duetted with Carrie Underwood, winner of the American Idol, at the 2009 Grammy Awards ceremony. Being considered as a guitar prodigy, the young lady was offered a place in the prestigious line of guitar players for Michael Jackson’s dates at the O2 Arena in London".
