Doing The Omoralisk Schlagerfestival '13 (3)

So Denmark won, Norway got 4th, France 23e while Finland ended up at 24th. Guess my top four was all over the place. Also, while watching it I realized all my picks was blond women, hm... what should I interprit that as? Then we have Sweden at 14th, almost in the middle and sure enough, it was kinda meh. Armenia didn't do better and ended up as 18th. Still saying that Albania should have taken the spot, eventhough it only got place 15 in the semi-final. Still an awesome song:

And of course the swedish tradition to mention that most of the songs are written by swedes, or performed by swedes or half-swedes or any ancestor at all, or the choreographers are swedish, or anyone in the team speaks swedish and finally the sound technicians are swedish. It's a miracle we don't call it the Swedish Song Contest since we clearly dominates it (that is sarcasm by the way). I don't know if we hit a low bottom with the swedish commentator always mentioning that we owned Estonia until 1721 when we lost it to Russia. Point being, eventhough we lost, we still won somehow cause all that matters is Sweden. And who said we aren't patriotic?

Also interesting of note is that with the exception of Azerbadjans victory two years ago this decade has been pretty good for the germanic countries (aka Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Germany). You could also argue that Germany doesn't belong and it is the scandinavian countries that are clearly dominating the contest. Could it be correlating to the strength of the nordic model and its stability in an instable economic world? Or is it trying to tell us the end of the model is near (especially if you consider our victory in 1990 and the finance crisis that hit us the year after, that actually was made possible by a political decision in 1985, the same year we hosted that years contest after our victory in 1984)? Well, we just have to wait and see until next year.
