Junior Eurovision 2009 - ones to watch: Netherlands and Russia

With 3 days to go before the big event, it's time for Eurovision Express to take a look at who's likely to do well in this year's Junior Eurovision.

Amongst our favourites are the songs from the Netherlands and Russia.


The Dutch song is in the hands of one of the few boy singers in the contest - Ralf Mackenbach, who sings the catchy Click Clack. Ralf performs 7th on the night, and has the advantage of being the first boy to appear in the running order. It's a good song, and we think it deserves to find its way near the top of the final scoreboard.


Another strong contender comes from Russia with Ekaterina Ryabova singing Malenkiy Prints. Unfortunately for Ekaterina she's performing in the dreaded 2nd position, although the first Junior Contest was won by Dino for Croatia from that spot.
