Nid fi yw’r unig un sydd wedi dwlu ar gân Bosnia gan Elvir Laković Laka, dyma beth sydd gan HecklerSpray ddweud ar ei flog.

Without a trace of exaggeration, Pokusaj might just be the best Eurovision song by any country in five years. It’s incredible – a kind of statacco Tropicalia opening that bursts into a heart-rending chorus that sounds equally like Sigur Ros and a better version of Coldplay and a 20-year-old Japanese videogame and Sabres Of Paradise, with lyrics like “I will try to kiss you and you act stupid/ I will try to wake you up and you pretend to be awake” that are touchingly universal and odd at once. It’s completely different to any of the other Eurovision entries and it’s brilliant. But, and here’s the weird bit, Pokusaj is performed by a man who looks like a stern transvestite and who sings the song to a chicken while the third-place runner-up in a Helena Bonham-Carter From Sweeney Todd lookalike contest runs around willy-nilly in the background. It’ll never happen – as far as Dadaist statements go, the contest have never really advanced beyond Brotherhood Of Man – but we want Elvir Lakovic Laka to win Eurovision more than anything. Current Eurovision betting odds – 20/1
