It's a Man's World!!!

When you look at previous years the ESC is full of female singers left and right. Single male vocalists seem to be more of an exception. From 2002 - 2007 all winners were female (with 2006 being the exception thanks to Lordi).
However, the last 2 years both winners were male singers (Dima from Russia and Alexander from Norway) so is 2010 going to be the year of male dominance?
Based on the artist known so far that may be the case.

Ukraine announced that Vasyl' Lazarovich will represent them in Oslo, Bosnia& Herzegovina selected Vukašin Brajić as their representative, Israel is sending 'cutie' Harel Ska'at Bulgaria will send singer Miro to Oslo in May and Switzerland decided that Michael von der Heide should have a shot at winning the ESC2010 contest choosing him internally.
And yesterday Turkey announced that the internationally known band "MaNga" will travel to Oslo trying to win the contest for them. (FYI, they're male)

So is this a new trend or just a coincidence? Should we expect even more testosterone in Oslo? We'll find out soon enough but it's quite an interesting observation. Let's see if the ladies can 'catch up'.
