Have you ever played that game Apples to Apples? It's where you play a card based on the person doing the card picking. For example, if the Card Picker is dealing with the category "Mafia," the Card Picker may be more likely to select "Cheese" from the assortment of options, even if you have the "Al Capone" card ready to play. It's illogical.
That, my friends, is exactly how I feel about gaging the results of the Eurovision Song Contest. Acts like this and this make it clear through to the semi-final rounds, while acts like this are sent home to their promising futures at the national level. It boggles my mind! And then, there's the actual winners. Yes, Eurovision is the launching off pad for such greats as ABBA, but that could also explain the show itself. You see, this is who won this year. A sprightly, David Archuletta-looking, fiddle playing, Norwegian boy wonder. The song is catchy (I've had it lodged in my head since the competition began last week) but that's it.
Basically, after the results of this year, I feel like the guy holding the "Al Capone" card watching the guy who played "Cheese" get another point. Jipped, confused, and realizing I have absolutely no idea how to play the game. At all.
Here's who would have had my vote the entire time, had I had the option to vote. Oh Estonia, I was rooting for you.
