It's over now, the Eurovision Song Contest and the Swedish people, the selfcrowned monarchs of Schlager is trying to cope with a huge loss, again. I'm actually glad it went so bad. At least this year. Unfortunately the Swedish people don't seem to see it that way. They cry rivers of tears and screams for some scapegoat to burn and crucify for this "disaster". Ths time it's Christer Björkman. Forget it. First of all, the blame is entirely the Swedish voters, no one else, for choosing our entry that didn't catch wind from the European people or jury's.
Secondly, come on, it was known beforehand that we wouldn't win. An easy test for that is, do you know anyone that can sing Ernmans song that's NOT an opera singer? Didn't think so, how is that supposed to catch on if you can't sing with it? And don't give me the crap that the melody is good enough on it's own, the whole song centered around her voice and no one else could do it. Think Tommy Körberg, not over the top and many can sing that song, maybe not that good, but it doesn't take away the good parts of the song.
As a side note, this is the last Eurovision Song Contest for this year if nothing spectacualar happens. I ust liked to trash it one last time. Unfortunatly it won't stay dead for the rest of the year as they now ask for next years competetors, in a few month the junior version begins and in late winter the next batch of lausy songs and artist will be presented. And then it goes round and round and round in an eternal vortex of pain and suffering. There is no need for Satan in this world as we do it so good ourselves.
