I call on the honourable NHOTWian opposite to withdraw the insinuation above. The NHOTW will only stay a happy place if we all avoid making p*litical posts.

What's going on?

I remember people, myself included, asking that very question 20 years ago when Dana International won. And I'd guess people asked the same question 20 years before that when Israel won previously.

Eurovision 2019: The acts to look out for in Tel Aviv

ICELAND

Artist: Hatari

Song: Hatrið mun sigra

Hatari are perhaps the most eye-catching entry this year - leather, spikes, masks, flesh - with a song that translates in English as Hate Will Prevail.

The young trio have been described as an "anti-capitalist BDSM techno band" and were the landslide winners of Iceland's national selection final.

The song has screamo moments mixed with a Sigur Ros-esque melody. There's even a key change.

Translated into English, the lyrics for Hatari's entry read: "Hate will prevail. Happiness comes to an end. For it is an illusion. A treacherous pipe dream."

The group are one of the most critically acclaimed in their country, having previously won a Best Live Band award and performed at various festivals.

FRANCE

Artist: Bilal Hassani

Song: Roi

Bilal Hassani is a French LGBT YouTube star - and massive Eurovision fan.

He appeared on France's version of The Voice Kids in 2015, singing a cover of Conchita Wurst's Eurovision classic Rise Like A Pheonix.

The teenager also has a large collection of wigs and told Scott Mills on the BBC's Eurovision Calling podcast that all his wigs have names - including Paris and Verona.

The wig he wore for the final of France's selection competition is called Stormy.

Roi, a song about empowerment, is co-written by Madame Monsiuer, who represented France in the 2018 contest.

That'll go down well at Eurovision.
